Feature Description
Performance
and
Configuration
• Half- and full-duplex operation on all 10- and 100-Mbps ports.
• Autonegotiation of duplex operation on 100BaseTX ports.
• IEEE 802.3x flow control on 100-Mbps ports operating in full-duplex mode.
• Back pressure-based congestion control on half-duplex, 10-Mbps ports
(standard IEEE 802.3 Layer 2 backoff algorithms).
• Enhanced Congestion Control (ECC) on all half-duplex ports for accelerated transmissions when
queues are full.
• FragmentFree (cut-through) and store-and-forward switching modes for optimal performance and
error checking.
• Per-port broadcast storm control for preventing faulty end stations from degrading overall system
performance.
• Support allowing ports to belong to up to four separate bridge groups within the switch.
• Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP) for limiting multicast flooding to predefined ports.
• IEEE 802.1d Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) with Port Fast for network loop detection and
disabling and for fault-tolerant connectivity.
Management
• Catalyst 1900 Switch Manager for in-band management access through a web browser.
• Menu-based management console for in-band management access through Telnet sessions
and out-of-band management access through direct serial connection to the switch console port.
• Menu-based diagnostic console for switch recovery tasks.
• Cluster membership support for configuration and monitoring from a Catalyst 2900 series XL or
Catalyst 3500 series XL command switch.
• Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) versions 1 and 2 for network topology discovery and mapping
between the switch and other Cisco devices on the network.
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and four groups of embedded remote monitoring
(RMON) agents for complete configuration, management, and monitoring on a per-port basis.
• Switch Port Analyzer (SPAN) for complete traffic monitoring.
• Encrypted (secret) password support for extra switch security.
