Feature Benefit
Ease of Use and Deployment
• Cisco Express Setup simplifies initial configuration with a Web browser, eliminating the need for more
complex terminal emulation programs and CLI knowledge.
• IEEE 802.3af and Cisco prestandard PoE support comes with automatic discovery to detect a Cisco
prestandard or IEEE 802.3af endpoint and provide the necessary power without any user configuration.
• DHCP autoconfiguration of multiple switches through a boot server eases switch deployment.
• Automatic QoS (Auto QoS) simplifies QoS configuration in voice-over-IP (VoIP) networks by issuing
interface and global switch commands to detect Cisco IP phones, classify traffic, and enable egress queue
configuration.
• Autosensing on each 10/100 port detects the speed of the attached device and automatically configures the
port for 10- or 100-Mbps operation, easing switch deployment in mixed 10- and 100-Mbps environments.
• Autonegotiating on all ports automatically selects half- or full-duplex transmission mode to optimize
bandwidth.
• Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) helps enable dynamic trunk configuration across all switch ports.
• Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) automates the creation of Cisco Fast EtherChannel
®
groups or Gigabit
EtherChannel groups to link to another switch, router, or server.
• Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows the creation of Ethernet channeling with devices that
conform to IEEE 802.3ad. This feature is similar to Cisco EtherChannel technology and PAgP.
• DHCP Server enables a convenient deployment option for the assignment of IP addresses in networks that
do not have a dedicated DHCP server.
• DHCP Relay allows a DHCP relay agent to broadcast DHCP requests to the network DHCP server.
• IEEE 802.3z-compliant 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-ZX, 1000BASE-T, and coarse
wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) physical interface support through a field-replaceable SFP
module provides unprecedented flexibility in switch deployment.
• Support for the Cisco Catalyst 3560 SFP Interconnect Cable facilitates a low-cost, point-to-point gigabit
connection between Catalyst 3560 Series switches.
