IP addressing: Configures the switch with an IP address and Management and Configuration Guide subnet mask to communicate on the network and support Multicast and Routing Guide remote management access; configures multiple IP addresses on a VLAN; enables IP routing on the switch. IP Address Manager: Programs IP routing information in switch hardware. Multicast and Routing Guide Novell Netware protocol filtering: On the basis of protocol Access Security Guide type, the switch can forward or drop traffic to a specific set of destination ports on the switch. Key Management System: Configures and maintains security Access Security Guide information (keys) for all routing protocols, including a timing mechanism for activating and deactivating an individual protocol. LACP trunks: The switch can either automatically establish an Management and Configuration Guide 802.3ad-compliant trunk group or provide a manually configured, static LACP trunk. Load balancing in LACP port trunks or 802.1s Multiple Management and Configuration Guide Spanning Tree protocol (MSTP) that uses VLANs in a network Advanced Traffic Management Guide to improve network resource utilization and maintain a loop- free environment. Load-balancing messages also include switch meshing events. The Switch Meshing feature provides redundant links, improved bandwidth use, and support for different port types and speeds. Link-Layer Discovery Protocol: Supports transmitting LLDP packets to neighbor devices and reading LLDP packets received from neighbor devices, enabling a switch to advertise itself to adjacent devices and to learn about adjacent LLDP devices. Management and Configuration Guide Loop protection: Detects the formation of loops when an Advanced Traffic Management Guide unmanaged device on the network drops spanning tree packets, and provides protection by transmitting loop protocol packets out ports on which loop protection has been enabled. Web and MAC authentication: Port-based security employed Access Security Guide on the network edge to protect private networks and the switch itself from unauthorized access using one of the following interfaces: • Web page login to authenticate users for access to the network • RADIUS server that uses a device's MAC address for authentication C-27
