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.
