Feature Benefit
Granular Rate Limiting
• The Cisco Committed Information Rate (CIR) function guarantees 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 and UDP information, or any combination of these fields, using QoS ACLs (IP ACLs or
MAC ACLs), class maps, and policy maps.
• Asynchronous data flows upstream and downstream from the end station or on the uplink are easily
managed using ingress policing and egress shaping.
• Up to 64 aggregate or individual policers are available per Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet port.
SECURITY
Networkwide Security Features
• 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 those 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.
• Cisco security VLAN ACLs (VACLs) on all VLANs prevent unauthorized data flows from being bridged
within VLANs.
• Cisco standard and extended IP security router ACLs (RACLs) define security policies on routed interfaces
for control- and data-plane traffic.
• Port-based ACLs (PACLs) for Layer 2 interfaces allow application of security policies on individual
switch ports.
• Unicast MAC filtering prevents the forwarding of any type of packet with a matching MAC address.
• Unknown unicast and multicast port blocking allows tight control by filtering packets that the switch
has not already learned how to forward.
• SSHv2, Kerberos, and SNMPv3 provide network security by encrypting administrator traffic during
Telnet and SNMP sessions. SSHv2, Kerberos, and the cryptographic version of SNMPv3 require a
special cryptographic software image because of U.S. export restrictions.
• Private VLAN provides security and isolation between switch ports, helping ensure that users cannot
snoop on other users' traffic.
• Bidirectional data support on the Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) port allows the Cisco Secure Intrusion
Detection System (IDS) to take action when an intruder is detected.
• TACACS+ and RADIUS authentication enable centralized control of the switch and restrict unauthorized
users from altering the configuration.
• MAC address notification allows administrators to be notified of users added to or removed from the
network.
• DHCP snooping allows administrators to ensure consistent mapping of IP to MAC addresses. This can be
used to prevent attacks that attempt to poison the DHCP binding database, and to rate limit the amount of
DHCP traffic that enters a switch port.
