ProSAFE® LAN Access and Aggregation Chassis Switches Data Sheet M6100 series Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) can be used to synchronize network resources and for adaptation of NTP, and can provide synchronized network timestamp either in broadcast or unicast mode (SNTP client implemented over UDP - port 123) Embedded RMON (4 groups) and sFlow agents permit external network traffic analysis Engineered for convergence Audio (Voice over IP) and Video (multicasting) comprehensive switching, filtering, routing and prioritization Auto-VoIP, Voice VLAN and LLDP-MED support for IP phones QoS and VLAN configuration IGMP Snooping and Proxy for IPv4, MLD Snooping and Proxy for IPv6 and Querier mode facilitate fast receivers joins and leaves for multicast streams and ensure multicast traffic only reaches interested receivers everywhere in a Layer 2 or a Layer 3 network Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) uses a dedicated Multicast VLAN to forward multicast streams and avoid duplication for clients in different VLANs Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) is a dense mode multicast protocol also called Broadcast and Prune Multicasting protocol • DVMRP uses a distributed routing algorithm to build per-source-group multicast trees • DVMRP assumes that all hosts are part of a multicast group until it is informed of multicast group changes • It dynamically generates per-source-group multicast trees using Reverse Path Multicasting • Trees are calculated and updated dynamically to track membership of individual groups Multicast routing (PIM-SM and PIM-DM, both IPv4 and IPv6) ensure multicast streams can reach receivers in different L3 subnets • Multicast static routes allowed in Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) selection • Multicast dynamic routing (PIM associated with OSPF) including PIM multi-hop RP support for routing around damage advanced capabilities • Full support of PIM (S,G,Rpt) state machine events as described in RFC 4601 • Improved Multicast PIM timer accuracy with hardware abstraction layer (HAPI) polling hit status for multicast entries in real time (without caching) PoE power management and schedule enablement Power redundancy for higher availability when mission critical convergent installation, including hot-swap main PSU replacement without interruption Advanced Layer 3 routing package Static Routes/ECMP Static Routes for IPv4 and IPv6 • Static and default routes are configurable with next IP address hops to any given destination • 512 static routes are configurable for IPv4 when 512 other static routes are configurable for IPv6 • Permitting additional routes creates several options for the network administrator • The admin can configure multiple next hops to a given destination, intending for the router to load share across the next hops • The admin distinguishes static routes by specifying a route preference value: a lower preference value is a more preferred static route • A less preferred static route is used if the more preferred static route is unusable (down link, or next hop cannot be resolved to a MAC address) • Preference option allows admin to control the preference of individual static routes relative to routes learned from other sources (such as OSPF) since a static route will be preferred over a dynamic route when routes from different sources have the same preference Advanced Static Routing functions for administrative traffic control • Static Reject Routes are configurable to control the traffic destined to a particular network so that it is not forwarded through the router • Such traffic is discarded and the ICMP destination unreachable message is sent back to the source • Static reject routes can be typically used to prevent routing loops • Default routes are configurable as a preference option Page 8 of 48
