●
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.
●
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 fiber-optic interfaces.
High Availability
The Cisco Catalyst 3750-E Series increases availability for stackable switches. Each switch can operate both as
master controller and as forwarding processor. Each switch in the stack can serve as a master, creating a 1:N
availability scheme for network control. In the unlikely event of a single unit failure, all other units continue to forward
traffic and maintain operation.
Other high-availability features include but are not limited to:
●
Cross-Stack EtherChannel provides the ability to configure Cisco EtherChannel technology across different
members of the stack for high resiliency.
●
Flexlink provides link redundancy with convergence time less than 100 ms.
●
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 offers the benefit of Layer 2
load balancing and distributed processing. Stacked units behave as a single spanning-tree node.
●
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 3750-E Series Switches.
●
IP unicast routing protocols (Static, Routing Information Protocol Version 1 [RIPv1], RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP
stub, and OSPF) are supported for small-network routing applications.
●
Advanced IP unicast routing protocols (OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4) are supported for load balancing
and constructing scalable LANs. IPv6 routing (OSPFv3, 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 across the stack.
●
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 HSRP links supported per unit
or stack.
●
Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) for IP multicast routing is supported, including PIM sparse mode (PIM-
SM), PIM dense mode (PIM-DM), PIM sparse-dense mode and Source Specific Multicast (SSM). The IP
Services feature set is required.
