Management
Superior
manageability
• SNMP and Telnet interface support delivers comprehensive in-band management, and a
CLI management console provides detailed out-of-band management.
• An embedded Remote Monitoring (RMON) software agent supports four RMON groups
(history, statistics, alarms, and events) for enhanced traffic management, monitoring, and
analysis.
• A Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) port can mirror traffic from one or many ports to another
port for monitoring all nine RMON groups with an RMON probe or network analyzer.
• Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) reduces the cost of administering software upgrades
by downloading from a centralized location.
• Network Timing Protocol (NTP) provides an accurate and consistent timestamp to all
switches within the intranet.
• Layer 2 traceroute eases troubleshooting by identifying the physical path that a packet
takes from the source device to a destination device.
• Multifunction LEDs per port for port status, half-duplex/full-duplex, 10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T indication, as well as switch-level status LEDs for system,
redundant power supply, and bandwidth utilization provide a comprehensive and
convenient visual management system.
• Crash information support enables a switch to generate a crash file for improved
troubleshooting.
• Show-interface-capabilities provide information about the configuration capabilities of
any interface.
• Response Time Monitoring (RTTMON) MIB allows users to monitor network performance
between a Cisco Catalyst switch and a remote device.
