Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series Switches

® ®
The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series Switches are a new line of premier, customer-
located switches that bring greater intelligence for Metro Ethernet access, enabling the
delivery of more differentiated Metro Ethernet services.

Product Overview
With service provider-friendly hardware and mission-specific software, the Cisco Catalyst 3750
Metro Series is the first access switch optimized for both the Ethernet-to-the-home (ETTH) triple-
play services and Ethernet-to-the-business (ETTB) VPN services. It provides the most complete
security solution for Metro Ethernet access that covers subscriber, switch, and network protection.
The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series supports multiple software images to provide a “pay-as-you-
grow” deployment model. With service breadth spanning triple-play and Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN
services, reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) and operating expenses (OpEx) can be achieved
from a single ETTH and ETTB access solution.

The switches feature bidirectional hierarchical quality of service (QoS) and traffic shaping,
intelligent 802.1Q tunneling, VLAN translation, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), Ethernet
over MPLS (EoMPLS), and Hierarchical Virtual Private LAN Service (H-VPLS) support and
redundant AC or DC power. They are ideal for service providers seeking to deliver profitable
business services, such as Layer 2, Layer 3, and MPLS VPNs, in several bandwidths and with
different service-level agreements (SLAs). With flexible software options, the Cisco Catalyst 3750
Metro Series offers providers a cost-effective path for meeting current and future service
requirements from enterprises and commercial businesses.

Configurations
The Cisco 3750 Metro Series (Figure 1) includes the following configurations:

Figure 1. Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series for Metro Ethernet Access

The built-in Gigabit Ethernet and ES ports accommodate a range of SFP gigabit interface
converters, including 1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-¬SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-ZX, and
1000BASE-BX and Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) capable SFPs and both coarse wavelength-
division multiplexing (CWDM) and dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) SFPs. The
industry-standard Cisco SFP Gigabit Interface Converter is a hot-swappable input/output device
that plugs into a Gigabit Ethernet port or slot, linking the port with the network.

 Data Sheet

The ES ports support enhanced features such as bidirectional Hierarchical QoS and Traffic
Shaping, intelligent 802.1Q tunneling, VLAN translation, MPLS, EoMPLS, and H-VPLS. These
ports can serve as uplinks to metro aggregation points, including the Cisco Catalyst 4500 and
6500 Series Switches and the Cisco 7600 Series Routers, and provide greater intelligence at the
network edge.

Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series Switches are shipped with the Metro IP Base Software license.
The license includes Layer 2 switching and basic routing such as static routing, Routing
Information Protocol (RIP), intelligent 802.1Q tunneling, VLAN translation, and bidirectional
hierarchical QoS.

For greater service breadth and network flexibility, Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series Switches offer
additional software feature licenses that provide a cost-effective “pay-as-you-grow” service
upgrade path. With the software feature license options on the Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series,
service providers are able to maximize the return on investment (ROI) for their Metro Ethernet
networks by adding features as their profitability increases and service offerings expand.

Industry Standard Services

Carrier Ethernet is a huge growth area for emerging connectivity services. It is a comparatively
simple, cost-effective, and familiar technology whose migration to the WAN will lead to more
flexible network connectivity while reducing overall IT costs. However, its deployment is
constrained by a shortage of global standards that provide assurance that equipment from
different vendors will interoperate. In order to accelerate the adoption of Carrier Ethernet services
and technology worldwide, service providers asked the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) to initiate a
certification program to assure them and their customers that products are compliant with MEF
specifications. The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series is certified to MEF 9 and 14 to support
industry-standard Layer 2 services and QoS features.

Gigabit Ethernet
With more and more applications demanding higher bandwidth, both enterprise and residential
customers are starting to demand access speeds greater than 100 Mbps. To address this
requirement, the Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series offers wire-speed Gigabit Ethernet with all the
Metro Ethernet functionalities using the Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports. At speeds of 1000 Mbps,
Gigabit Ethernet provides the bandwidth to meet new and evolving network demands, alleviate
bottlenecks, and boost performance while protecting the existing infrastructure investments.

Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN Services (Through Enhanced Services Ports)

Layer 2 VPN Using Enhanced 802.1Q Tunneling
802.1Q tunneling enables service providers to create a Layer 2 VPN service, often called Layer 2
transparent LAN services (TLS) or Ethernet LAN services, by using a VLAN-in-VLAN hierarchy and
tagging the tagged packets. With 802.1Q tunneling, service providers can clearly separate their
networks from their enterprise and commercial customer networks. Customer VLAN IDs are
preserved, and traffic from different customers is segregated within the service provider
infrastructure, even when they appear to be on the same VLAN. As a result, enterprise customers
subscribing to the Layer 2 VPN can transparently send and receive traffic from other metropolitan
sites through the service provider network as though the sites were within the same corporate
LAN.

 Data Sheet

The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series supports an intelligent enhanced version of 802.1Q
tunneling in which the enterprise customer’s Layer 2 or Layer 3 QoS information can be mapped
from the inner VLAN tag to the outer service provider VLAN tag. As a result, the enterprise
customer’s QoS priorities are used across the service provider’s network. In addition, the Cisco
Catalyst 3750 Metro Series supports Selective QinQ whereby the switch can assign a service
provider VLAN tag to the customer traffic based on the ingress interface and customer’s VLAN ID.

Layer 2 VPN Using VLAN Translation

VLAN translation is also used for Layer 2 VPN service. Instead of double-tagging the packet, the
VLAN translation feature simply translates a customer VLAN ID to a service provider VLAN ID as
the packet enters the service provider network, and vice versa as the packet exits the service
provider network. By simply mapping the VLAN ID and leaving the rest of the packet untouched,
the enterprise customer’s QoS information can be preserved and honored as it traverses the
service provider network.

Layer 2 VPN Using EoMPLS

EoMPLS is a tunneling mechanism that allows service providers to tunnel customer Layer 2 traffic
through a Layer 3 MPLS network. This gives the service provider the best of both worlds—a Layer
2 TLS offering and the scalability of an MPLS core without needing a spanning tree. The Cisco
Catalyst 3750 Metro Series supports EoMPLS on a per-port or per-VLAN basis, enabling service
providers to build an end-to-end MPLS network all the way to the CLE.

Layer 2 VPN with H-VPLS Architecture

VPLS is a multipoint Layer 2 VPN technology that allows multiple sites to be connected over a
simulated Ethernet broadcast domain that is supported across a provider-provisioned MPLS
network. H-VPLS is one of IETF’s VPLS standards that provides an MPLS-based distributed-PE
architecture. H-VPLS has two design options:

● Ethernet access network: Access networks are 802.1Q networks, and the core network is
MPLS.
● MPLS access network: Access networks and the core network are both MPLS.
The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series supports both architecture options as the PE-CLE switch in
the H-VPLS access network.

Layer 3 VPN Using Multi-VRF CE

Multi–Virtual Routing and Forwarding Customer Edge (Multi-VRF CE), also called VRF-lite, on the
Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series enables the creation of a Layer 3 VPN service by keeping
separate routing tables for each VPN customer without needing to run MPLS on the switch. Multi-
VRF CE is a feature that allows a service provider to support two or more VPNs on a single Cisco
Catalyst 3750 Metro Series switch, where IP addresses can be overlapped among the VPNs.
Multi-VRF CE uses input interfaces to distinguish routes for different VPNs and forms virtual
packet-forwarding tables by associating one or more Layer 3 interfaces with each VRF.

Layer 3 VPN Using MPLS VPN

The Cisco Catalyst 3570 Metro Series supports MPLS VPNs, allowing service providers to build
true end-to-end MPLS networks and to offer MPLS VPN services to their enterprise and
commercial customers. The MPLS VPN model is a true peer VPN model that enforces traffic
separations by assigning unique VRFs to each customer’s VPN. Thus, users in a specific VPN

 Data Sheet

cannot see traffic outside of that VPN. Traffic separation occurs without tunneling or encryption
because it is built directly into the network.

Utmost SLA Support Using Traffic Shaping and Bidirectional Hierarchical Quality of Service
(Through Enhanced Services Ports)

The ability to apply QoS criteria to network traffic is essential for service provider networks. As
enterprises and service providers continue the shift to a single, converged network carrying
mission-critical applications over a unified multiservice (data, voice, and video) architecture, the
ability to manage traffic flows and delivery terms becomes increasingly critical. As enterprises
outsource their network services to service providers, they will turn to providers who have the
ability to supply QoS features to help ensure that on-demand, bandwidth-intensive applications
and time-sensitive, information-delivery applications receive the bandwidth necessary to maintain
performance. The ability to apply QoS to customer traffic will become vital to meeting SLAs and
maintaining network performance. Support for advanced QoS features will also allow service
providers to create premium products and service bundles. In addition, efficient application of QoS
techniques reduces overall Metro Ethernet service costs through more efficient use of network
links.

Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series QoS technology facilitates the management of network
performance with respect to bandwidth, delay, jitter, and packet loss, which are critical to
optimizing application performance and meeting SLAs. The switch supports the Cisco Hierarchical
Queuing Framework (HQF), which includes traffic classification, two-rate three-color policing,
Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ), Low-Latency Queuing (LLQ), and traffic shaping
on the output of the enhanced services ports. The hierarchical implementation of this framework
enables service providers to manage their QoS at three different levels: at the physical interface
level (enhanced services ports), the VLAN level (VLANs within each port), and marked class level
(classes with each VLAN), providing the most granularity and flexibility to deliver their SLAs. In
addition, congestion avoidance techniques such as Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED)
and tail drop are supported to better regulate network traffic and prevent congestion.

Adding Differentiated Services over Time

Many service providers start their Metro Ethernet service portfolios by offering basic Layer 2 or
Layer 3 services. As the services grow in popularity among enterprise and commercial customers
and the competitive service offerings become more commonplace, it is essential that service
providers broaden their service portfolios by adding more differentiated services. By providing
several optional software licenses with enhanced features, Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series
Switches enable service providers to build an intelligent network without having to incur a high
initial capital expenditure (CapEx). Service providers can begin selling their Metro Ethernet
services with basic features and SLAs. As their services become more profitable, they can
gradually increase the service offerings by purchasing the software licenses with additional
features, without the need to do costly complete equipment upgrades.

With the flexibility and scalable architecture of the Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series, service
providers can build a more future-proof Metro Ethernet network, and, as their Metro Ethernet
services evolve, the network can be upgraded without replacing the metro access equipment.

Multiple Software Feature Images to Provide Flexible Deployment Options

®
The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series Switches offer three different Cisco IOS Software feature
images, METROBASE, METROACCESS, and METROIPACCESS, providing cost-effective, pay-

as-you-grow service upgrade options for service providers deploying multiple services. The service
providers do not have to pay for the features they do not need today and still have the option in the
future to receive those features with a simple software upgrade.

Support for multiple software feature images allows service providers to standardize on the Cisco
Catalyst 3750 Metro Series Switches, save on the OpEx of stocking multiple products, simplify
training of support technicians, and alleviate complications in supporting different products for
different services.

Increased Service Availability with Redundant Power Supplies

Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series Switches can be equipped with an optional internal redundant
power supply, available in both AC and DC versions. The internal power supply redundancy
provides service providers with an immediate failover capability in the case of a power supply
failure. The power redundancy decreases the chance of service outage and allows the service
provider to offer an SLA with a higher level of service availability.

The power supplies of Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series Switches are also field replaceable and
hot swappable, allowing service providers to replace a failed power supply without interrupting their
customers’ services. The redundant power supplies, with the flexibility features built into the Cisco
Catalyst 3750 Metro Series, enable service providers to build a resilient, highly available network.

Security Across the Service Portfolio with Granular Control for the Access
Environment
The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Series supports a comprehensive set of security features for connectivity
and access control, including access control lists (ACLs), authentication, port-level security, and
identity-based network services with 802.1X and extensions. The ACLs allow service providers to
restrict unwanted traffic into their networks by denying packets based on source and destination
MAC addresses, IP addresses, or TCP/User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports. All ACL lookups are
done in hardware, so forwarding and routing performance is not compromised when implementing
ACL-based security in the network.

Robust Service Management Options

The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series provides outstanding service management capabilities
through Cisco CNS 2100 Series Intelligence Engine support and Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP). Service providers will be able to smoothly integrate the Cisco Catalyst 3750
Metro Series into their operations support systems (OSSs) and enable improved flow-through
provisioning. The Cisco CNS 2100 Series network device allows service providers to effectively
manage a network of Cisco IOS Software devices, including the Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series.
It is a completely self-contained unit that includes a task-oriented Web GUI, a programmable
Extensible Markup Language (XML) interface, configuration template management, and an
embedded repository. For comprehensive in-band management, service providers also can
manage the Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series using SNMP Version 2 and Version 3 and the
Telnet interface. A CLI-based management console provides detailed out-of-band management.

For service provisioning on the Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series, service providers can use Cisco
IP Solution Center (ISC). Cisco IP Solution Center is a family of intelligent network management
applications that help reduce overall administration and management costs by providing
automated resource management and rapid profile-based provisioning capabilities that speed
deployment and time to market of MPLS and Metro Ethernet technologies.

Ethernet Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning

The advent of Ethernet as a metropolitan and wide-area networking technology has accelerated
the need for a new set of operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P)
protocols. Service provider networks are large and complex with a wide user base, and they often
involve different operators that must work together to provide end-to-end services to enterprise
customers. As enterprise end customers demand higher availability of services, service providers
must reduce the mean time to repair (MTTR) and increase service availability. Ethernet OAM&P
features address these challenges and enable service providers to offer carrier-grade services.

The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series supports industry-standard OAM&P tools, including 802.1ag
Connectivity Fault Management and Ethernet Local Management Interface (E-LMI) protocol.
802.1ag provides the tools to monitor and troubleshoot end-to-end Ethernet networks. It allows
service providers to check for end-to-end connectivity, isolate network issues, and identify
customers affected by network issues. The E-LMI protocol, developed by the MEF, has substantial
benefits to both the service provider as well as the end customer. E-LMI enables the service
provider to automatically configure the customer-edge and CPE devices to match the subscribed
service. This automatic provisioning not only reduces the effort to set up the service, but also
reduces the amount of coordination required between the service provider and enterprise
customer.

IP Service Level Agreement (IP SLA)

Cisco IOS Software IP SLAs help enable customers to assure new business-critical IP
applications, as well as IP services that utilize data, voice, and video. With Cisco IOS Software IP
SLAs, users can verify service guarantees, increase network reliability by validating network
performance, proactively identify network issues, and increase return on investment (ROI) by
easing the deployment of new IP services. Cisco IOS Software IP SLAs use active monitoring to
generate traffic in a continuous, reliable, and predictable manner, thus facilitating the
measurement of network performance and health.

The IP SLA for Metro-Ethernet feature provides the capability to gather Ethernet layer network
performance metrics. This feature integrates Cisco IOS Software IP SLAs with the Ethernet
Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) feature. Available statistical measurements for the IP SLAs
Ethernet operation include round-trip time, jitter (interpacket delay variance), and packet loss.

Resilient Ethernet Protocol

Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) is a Cisco proprietary protocol that provides an alternative to
Spanning Tree Protocol to control network loops, handle link failures, and improve convergence
time. REP is designed to meet service providers’ requirement for a fast and predicable
reconvergence solution for Layer 2 networks. In addition, REP also supports VLAN load balancing
to provide efficient utilization of redundant links.

Applications
VPNs allow customers at different locations to exchange information through a service provider
network, without requiring private connections. The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series is ideal for
service provider Metro Ethernet access deployments, allowing providers to offer Layer 2 or Layer 3
VPN services to their enterprise or commercial customers. Typically, Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro
Series Switches are installed in a building basement serving many customers in the building or at
the customer premises as the customer-located equipment (CLE).

Figure 2 shows a deployment example using the Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series for Layer 2
VPN service.

Distribution dedicating a single VLAN for multicast traffic, thereby removing duplicate multicast traffic in
other VLANs.
● PIM-SM provides efficient routing of multicast traffic by establishing distribution trees across
WANs.
● Source Specific Multicast (SSM) reduces the need for IP Multicast address management and
prevents DoS attacks against receivers.

to multicast sources dynamically, reducing dependencies on the application.

Robust Multicast Control ● IGMP Snooping helps enable intelligent management of multicast traffic by examining IGMP
messages.
● IGMP Fast Leave provides a fast channel-changing capability for IPTV services.
● IGMP filtering provides control of groups each user can access.
● IGMP Throttling controls the maximum number of multicast groups each user can access.
● IGMP Proxy allows users anywhere on a downstream network to join an upstream sourced
multicast group.

QoS and Control

Advanced QoS ● Standard 802.1p class of service (CoS) and differentiated services code point (DSCP) field
classification are provided, using marking and reclassification on a per-packet basis by source
and destination IP address, source and destination MAC address, VLAN ID, or Layer 4
TCP/User Datagram Protocol (TCP/UDP) port number.
● Cisco control-plane and data-plane QoS ACLs on all ports help ensure proper marking on a
per-packet basis.
● Shaped Round Robin (SRR) scheduling helps ensure differential prioritization of packet flows
by intelligently servicing the queues.
● Weighted Tail Drop (WTD) provides per QoS class congestion avoidance at the queues
before a disruption occurs.
● Priority queue rate limiting provides optional protection against lower priority queue starvation.
● The ES ports offer the following additional functionalities:
◦ Hierarchical QoS with traffic classification, policing, queuing, shaping, and scheduling at the
class, VLAN, and interface level
◦ Traffic classification based on MPLS experimental (EXP) bits
◦ 2 Rate 3 Color policing
◦ WRED (Weighted Random Early Detection) for congestion avoidance
◦ Class-Based Weighed Fair Queuing (CBWFQ) for bandwidth management
◦ Low-Latency Queue provides strict-priority queuing for delay sensitive data
● Configurable control plane queue assignment allows service providers to assign control plane
traffic to specific egress queue.
● Prioritization of control plane traffic enables service providers to set QoS markings globally for
CPU-generated traffic so these protocol packets will receive priority in the network.
● There is no performance penalty for advanced QoS functionalities.

Network Security

Comprehensive Security Subscriber Security

Solutions ● IEEE 802.1x allows dynamic, port-based security by 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 and port security are provided to authenticate the port and manage network
access for all MAC addresses.
● IEEE 802.1x readiness check simplifies deployment by generating a report for end hosts
capable of 802.1x.
● An absence of local switching behavior provides security and isolation between UNIs, helping
ensure that users cannot monitor or access other users’ traffic on the same switch.
● DHCP Snooping prevents malicious users from spoofing a DHCP server and sending out
bogus addresses. This feature also prevents numerous other attacks such as Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP) poisoning.
● Dynamic ARP Inspection helps ensure user integrity by preventing malicious users from
exploiting the insecure nature of the ARP protocol.
● IP Source Guard prevents a malicious user from spoofing or taking over another user’s IP
address by creating a binding table between client’s IP and MAC address, port, and VLAN.
Switch Security
● Control Plane Security prevents DoS attacks on the CPU.
● Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol, Kerberos, and SNMPv3 provide network security by encrypting
administrator traffic during Telnet and SNMP sessions. SSH, Kerberos, and the cryptographic
version of SNMPv3 require a special cryptographic software image because of U.S. export
restrictions.
● Port security secures the access to an access or trunk port based on MAC address. After a
specific timeframe, the aging feature removes the MAC address from the switch to allow
another device to connect to the same port.
● Multilevel security on the console access prevents unauthorized users from altering the switch
configuration.
● TACACS+ and RADIUS authentication facilitate centralized control of the switch and restrict
unauthorized users from altering the configuration.
● Configuration File Security helps ensure that only authenticated users have access to the
configuration file.
● Per VLAN MAC address learning prevents MAC address table overflow attack.

Network Security
● 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.
● Port-based ACLs for Layer 2 interfaces allow for application of security policies on individual
switch ports.
MAC address notification allows administrators to be notified of users added to or removed from
the network.

Network Monitoring
● Remote Switched Port Analyzer (RSPAN) allows for remote monitoring of the user interface.
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.

Manageability

Superior Manageability ● The Cisco IOS Software CLI provides a common user interface and command set with all
Cisco routers and Cisco Catalyst desktop switches.
● Service Assurance Agent (SAA) provides service-level management throughout the network.
● IEEE 802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management provides standard support for transport fault
management. It allows for discovery and verification of path for Layer 2 services.
● Ethernet Local Management Interface enables auto configuration of CPE by CLE to support
Metro Ethernet services.
● IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet in the First Mile provides standard support for monitoring, remote
failure indication, loopback, and OAM discovery on the link between the customer equipment
and service provider network.
● Switching Database Manager templates for Layer 2 and Layer 3 deployment allow the
administrator to easily optimize memory allocation to the desired features based on
deployment-specific requirements.
● VLAN trunks can be created from any port, using standards-based 802.1Q tagging. Up to
1005 VLANs per switch and up to 128 spanning-tree instances per switch are supported.
● Four thousand VLAN IDs are supported.
● RSPAN allows administrators to remotely monitor ports in a Layer 2 switch network from any
other switch in the same network.
● For enhanced traffic management, monitoring, and analysis, the embedded Remote
Monitoring (RMON) software agent supports four RMON groups (history, statistics, alarms,
and events).
● Layer 2 traceroute eases troubleshooting by identifying the physical path that a packet takes
from source to destination.
● MPLS OAM supports service providers to quickly troubleshoot and monitor MPLS networks.
● All nine RMON groups are supported through a SPAN port, permitting traffic monitoring of a
single port, a group of ports, or the entire stack from a single network analyzer or RMON
probe.
● Domain Name System (DNS) provides IP address resolution with user-defined device names.
● 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 time stamp to all intranet
switches.
● The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Series supports the Cisco CNS 2100 Series Intelligence
Engine and SNMP for networkwide management.
● Cisco IP Solution Center (ISC) applications help reduce overall administration and
management costs by providing automated resource management and rapid profile-based
provisioning capabilities.
● Configuration Rollback helps in error recovery by providing the capability to replace the
current running configuration with any saved Cisco IOS Software configuration file.
● Embedded Event Manager (EEM) offers the ability to monitor events and take user-defined
action when the monitored events occur or a threshold is reached.
● Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) based auto configuration and image update
simplifies management of large number of switches by automatically downloading specified
configuration and image.
● Digital optical monitoring (DOM) support provides a service provider with the capability to
perform in-service transceiver monitoring and troubleshooting operations.

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 versions 1, 2c, and 3 and Telnet provide 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 automatic switch discovery for a
CiscoWorks network management station.
● The CiscoWorks 2000 LAN Management Solution is supported.
