www.dell.com | support.dell.com - Flow Control at the MAC layer: you may configure the switch or a port to temporarily halt traffic when necessary to prevent overload (formerly IEEE 802.3x) • Additional functions you can use to manage the network including IGMP Snooping (see Chapter 15, IGMP Snooping), Port Mirroring (see Chapter 16, Port Mirroring), and Broadcast Storm Recovery. • Layer 3 Routing (see Chapter 17, Layer 3 Routing) • Base routing protocols, including support for the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), IP Mapping, the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) and Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) • Support for protocols used by routers to exchange network topology information: - Routing Information Protocol (RIP) versions 1 and 2, recommended for use in small to medium sized networks - Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) version 2, used in larger, more complex networks • Support for the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) used to improve the reliability of network connections • Support for the MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm defined in RFC 1321 used for digital signature applications • Support for the use of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to assign IP addresses, including the Relay Agent Information option defined in RFC 3046 • VLAN Routing (see VLAN Routing on page 262): Allows traffic received on a VLAN port to be processed by the Layer 3 routing function. Layer 2 Package Feature Details The core Layer 2 Package software provides support for the following features: Basic Routing and Switching Support • BootP (RFC 951, RFC 1542) • BootP/DHCP Relay and Server (RFC 2131) • Host Requirements (RFC 1122) • UDP (RFC 768) • IP (RFC 791) • ICMP (RFC 792) • TCP (RFC 793) • STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) (IEEE 802.1d) • Rapid Spanning Tree (IEEE 802.1w) • MSTP (IEEE 802.1s) • 10 GigE (IEEE 802.3ae) • 1000 Base-T (IEEE 802.3ab) • Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x) • IEEE 802.3ad 20 | SFTOS Features
