Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Software
The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series is available with either the IP Base or the IP Services feature set. The IP Base feature set includes advanced quality of service (QoS), rate-limiting, ACLs, and basic static and Routing Information Protocol (RIP) routing capability. The IP Services feature set provides a richer set of enterprise-class features, including advanced hardware-based IP unicast and multicast routing -- Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol [EIGRP], Open Shortest Path First [OSPF], Border Gateway Protocol [BGP], Protocol Independent Multicast [PIM] and IPv6 routing such as OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6. Customers can transparently upgrade the software feature set in the Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series Switches through Cisco IOS Software Activation. Software activation authorizes and enables the Cisco IOS Software feature sets. A special file contained in the switch, called a license file, is examined by Cisco IOS Software when the switch is powered on. Based on the license's type, Cisco IOS Software activates the appropriate feature set. License types can be changed or upgraded to activate a different feature set.
Primary Features and Benefits
The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E offers ease of use features such as Cisco Smartports, which enable fast and easy configuration of advanced Cisco Catalyst intelligent capabilities, encapsulating years of Cisco networking expertise. Cisco Smartports macros offer a set of verified feature templates per connection type that are easy to apply, enabling users to consistently and reliably configure essential security, IP telephony, availability, QoS, and manageability features with minimal effort and expertise. Other ease of use features include:
- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) autoconfiguration of multiple switches through a boot server eases switch deployment.
- Automatic QoS (AutoQoS) simplifies QoS configuration in voice-over-IP (VoIP) networks by issuing interface and global switch commands to detect Cisco IP phones, classify traffic, and help enable egress queue configuration.
- Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) facilitates 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.
- Auto negotiation on all ports automatically selects half- or full-duplex transmission mode to optimize bandwidth.
- 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.
- Automatic media-dependent interface crossover (MDIX) automatically adjusts transmit and receive pairs if an incorrect cable type (crossover or straight-through) is installed.
- Unidirectional Link Detection Protocol (UDLD) and Aggressive UDLD allow unidirectional links caused by incorrect fiber-optic wiring or port faults to be detected and disabled on fibre-optic interfaces.
Availability and Scalability
The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series is equipped with a robust set of features that allow for network scalability and higher availability. This is achieved through IP routing as well as a complete suite of Spanning Tree Protocol enhancements aimed to maximize availability in a Layer 2 network. Enhancements to the standard Spanning Tree Protocol, such as Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+), Uplink Fast, and Port Fast, as well as innovations such as Flexlink, maximize network uptime.
- Flexlink provides link redundancy with convergence time less than 100ms without Spanning Tree Protocol. A pair of interfaces configured as primary and backup links can load balance traffic based on VLAN. IEEE 802.1s/w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) provide rapid spanning-tree convergence independent of spanning-tree timers and also offer the benefit of Layer 2 load balancing and distributed processing.
- Per-VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree (PVRST+) allows rapid spanning-tree reconvergence on a per-VLAN spanning-tree basis, without requiring the implementation of spanning-tree instances.
- Cisco Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) is supported to create redundant, failsafe routing topologies.
- Switch-port Autorecovery (Errdisable) automatically attempts to reactivate a link that is disabled because of a network error.
High-Performance IP Routing
Cisco Express Forwarding hardware routing architecture delivers extremely high-performance IP routing in the Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series Switches.
- Basic IP unicast routing protocols (Static, Routing Information Protocol Version 1 [RIPv1], and RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP stub) are supported for small-network routing applications.
- Advanced IP unicast routing protocols (OSPF, EIGRP, and BGPv4) are supported for load balancing and constructing scalable LANs. IPv6 routing (OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6) is supported in hardware for maximum performance. The IP Services feature set is required.
- Equal-cost routing facilitates Layer 3 load balancing and redundancy.
- Policy-based routing (PBR) allows superior control by facilitating flow redirection regardless of the routing protocol configured. The IP Services feature set is required.
- HSRP provides dynamic load balancing and failover for routed links, up to 32 unique HSRP links supported per unit. The group number can be reused for each VLAN configured in the switch.
- Web Control Caching Protocol (WCCPv2) enables Wide Area Acceleration Services (WAAS), resulting in improved application response time and conservation of WAN bandwidth.
Superior Quality of Service
The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series offers Gigabit Ethernet speed with intelligent services that keep everything flowing smoothly, even at 10 times the normal network speed. Industry-leading mechanisms for marking, classification, and scheduling deliver superior performance for data, voice, and video traffic, all at wire speed. Following are some of the QoS features supported in the Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series Switches:
- 802.1p class of service (CoS) and differentiated services code point (DSCP) field classification is provided, using marking and reclassification on a per-packet basis by source and destination IP address, MAC address, or Layer 4 TCP/UDP port number.
- Cisco control-plane and data-plane QoS ACLs on all ports help ensure proper marking on a per-packet basis.
- Eight egress queues per port help enable differentiated management of different traffic types across the switch. Four queues are user configurable and four are reserved for system use.
- Shaped Round Robin (SRR) scheduling helps ensure differential prioritization of packet flows by intelligently servicing the ingress queues and egress queues.
- Weighted Tail Drop (WTD) provides congestion avoidance at the ingress and egress queues before a disruption occurs.
- Strict priority queuing helps ensure that the highest-priority packets are serviced ahead of all other traffic.
- The Cisco committed information rate (CIR) function provides bandwidth in increments as low as 8 Kbps.
- Rate limiting is provided based on source and destination IP address, source and destination MAC address, Layer 4 TCP/UDP information, or any combination of these fields, using QoS ACLs (IP ACLs or MAC ACLs), class maps, and policy maps.
Advanced Security
The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series supports a comprehensive set of security features for connectivity and access control, including ACLs, authentication, port-level security, and identity-based network services with 802.1x and extensions. This set of comprehensive features not only helps prevent external attacks, but defends the network against "man-in-the-middle" attacks, a primary concern in today's business environment. The switch also supports the Network Admission Control (NAC) security framework.
- DHCP Snooping prevents malicious users from spoofing a DHCP server and sending out invalid addresses. This feature is used by other primary security features to prevent a number of other attacks such as ARP poisoning.
- Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) helps ensure user integrity by preventing malicious users from exploiting the insecure nature of the ARP protocol.
- Private VLANs restrict traffic between hosts in a common segment by segregating traffic at Layer 2, turning a broadcast segment into a nonbroadcast multi-access-like segment.
- Private VLAN Edge provides security and isolation between switch ports, which helps ensure that users cannot snoop on other users' traffic.
- IEEE 802.1x allows dynamic, port-based security, providing user authentication.
- IEEE 802.1x with VLAN assignment allows a dynamic VLAN assignment for a specific user regardless of where the user is connected.
- IEEE 802.1x with voice VLAN permits an IP phone to access the voice VLAN irrespective of the authorized or unauthorized state of the port.
- IEEE 802.1x and port security are provided to authenticate the port and manage network access for all MAC addresses, including that of the client.
- IEEE 802.1x with an ACL assignment allows for specific identity-based security policies regardless of where the user is connected.
- IEEE 802.1x with guest VLAN allows guests without 802.1x clients to have limited network access on the guest VLAN.
- Web authentication for non-802.1x clients allows non-802.1x clients to use an SSL-based browser for authentication.
- Multi-Domain Authentication allows an IP phone and a PC to authenticate on the same switch port while placing them on appropriate voice and data VLANs.
- MAC Auth Bypass (MAB) for voice allows third-party IP phones without an 802.1x supplicant to get authenticated using their MAC address.
- Cisco security VLAN ACLs on all VLANs prevent unauthorized data flows from being bridged within VLANs.
- Cisco standard and extended IP security router ACLs define security policies on routed interfaces for control-plane and data-plane traffic. IPv6 ACLs can be applied to filter IPv6 traffic.
- Port-based ACLs for Layer 2 interfaces allow security policies to be applied on individual switch ports.
- Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol, Kerberos, and Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) provide network security by encrypting administrator traffic during Telnet and SNMP sessions. SSH Protocol, Kerberos, and the cryptographic version of SNMPv3 require a special cryptographic software image because of U.S. export restrictions.
- Bidirectional data support on the Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) port allows the Cisco intrusion detection system (IDS) to take action when an intruder is detected.
- TACACS+ and RADIUS authentication facilitates centralized control of the switch and restricts unauthorized users from altering the configuration.
- MAC Address Notification allows administrators to be notified of users added to or removed from the network.
- Dynamic VLAN assignment is supported through implementation of VLAN Membership Policy Server client capability to provide flexibility in assigning ports to VLANs. Dynamic VLAN facilitates the fast assignment of IP addresses.
Intelligent Power over Ethernet (PoE) Management
The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E PoE models support Cisco IP phones and Cisco Aironet wireless LAN (WLAN) access points, as well as any IEEE 802.3af-compliant end device.
