Feature Benefit
across multiple switches and ports simultaneously.
The user-personalized interface allows modification of polling intervals, table views, and other settings.
• Alarm notification provides automated e-mail notification of network errors and alarm thresholds.
Cisco Express Setup
Express Setup simplifies initial configuration of a switch through a Web browser, eliminating the need for
terminal emulation programs and CLI knowledge.
The Web interface helps less-skilled personnel quickly and simply set up switches, thereby reducing the cost of
deployment.
CiscoWorks Support
CiscoWorks network-management software provides management capabilities on a per-port and per-switch
basis, providing a common management interface for Cisco routers, switches, and hubs.
SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 and Telnet interface support delivers comprehensive in-band management, and a CLI-
based management console provides detailed out-of-band management.
Cisco Discovery Protocol Versions 1 and 2 help enable a CiscoWorks network-management station for
automatic switch discovery.
The CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution supports the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series.
