Management Leverages HWTACACS to link a custom list of CLI commands to an individual network administrator's login; also provides an audit trail Uses standard SNMP to monitor essential network functions; supports events, alarm, history, and statistics group plus a private alarm extension group Advertises and receives management information from adjacent devices on a network, facilitating easy mapping by network management applications Provides scalable ASIC-based wirespeed network monitoring and accounting with no impact on network performance; this allows network operators to gather a variety of sophisticated network statistics and information for capacity planning and real-time network monitoring purposes Mirrors ingress ACL-selected traffic from a switch port or VLAN to a local or remote switch port anywhere on the network Monitors a cable between two compatible switches and shuts down the ports on both ends if the cable is broken, which prevents network problems such as loops Provides future-proof networking because the switch is capable of being managed whether the attached network is running IPv4 or IPv6; supports pingv6, tracertv6, Telnetv6, TFTPv6, DNSv6, syslogv6, FTPv6, SNMPv6, DHCPv6, and RADIUS for IPv6 Ingress and egress port monitoring enables network problem-solving; virtual cable tests provide visibility into cable problems Embedded network management tool with a web-based GUI to simplify operations and facilitate centralized management. It is made available at no additional cost and offers centralized configuration backup, software version management and seamless switch replacement. Integrates fault management, element configuration, and network monitoring from a central vantage point; built-in support for third-party devices enables network administrators to centrally manage all network elements with a variety of automated tasks, including discovery, categorization, baseline configurations, and software images; the software also provides configuration comparison tools, version tracking, change alerts, and more SNMP v1/v2c/v3, MIB-II with Traps, and RADIUS Authentication Client MIB (RFC 2618); embedded HTML management tool with secure access |
