Data Sheet | M4300 series Intelligent Edge Managed Switches IP address conflict detection performed by embedded DHCP servers prevents accidental IP address duplicates from perturbing the overall network stability IP Event Dampening reduces the effect of interface flaps on routing protocols: the routing protocols temporarily disable their processing (on the unstable interface) until the interface becomes stable, thereby greatly increasing the overall stability of the network Ease of deployment Automatic configuration with DHCP and BootP Auto Install eases large deployments with a scalable configuration files management capability, mapping IP addresses and host names and providing individual configuration files to multiple switches as soon as they are initialized on the network Both the Switch Serial Number and Switch primary MAC address are reported by a simple "show" command in the CLI - facilitating discovery and remote configuration operations M4300 DHCP L2 Relay agents eliminate the need to have a DHCP server on each physical network or subnet • DHCP Relay agents process DHCP messages and generate new DHCP messages • Supports DHCP Relay Option 82 circuit-id and remote-id for VLANs • DHCP Relay agents are typically IP routing-aware devices and can be referred to as Layer 3 relay agents Automatic Voice over IP prioritization with Auto-VoIP simplifies most complex multi-vendor IP telephones deployments either based on protocols (SIP, H323 and SCCP) or on OUI bytes (default database and user-based OUIs) in the phone source MAC address; providing the best class of service to VoIP streams (both data and signaling) over other ordinary traffic by classifying traffic, and enabling correct egress queue configuration An associated Voice VLAN can be easily configured with Auto-VoIP for further traffic isolation When deployed IP phones are LLDP-MED compliant, the Voice VLAN will use LLDP-MED to pass on the VLAN ID, 802.1P priority and DSCP values to the IP phones, accelerating convergent deployments Versatile connectivity 24- and 48-port 1G models with 10G uplinks, including 2-port 10GBASE-T and 2-port 10GBASE-X SFP+ IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) provides up to 30W power per port using 2 pairs while offering backward compatilibity with 802.3af • IEEE 802.3at Layer 2 LLDP method and 802.3at PoE+ 2-event classification method fully supported for compatibility with most PoE+ PD devices 16-, 24-, 48- and 96-port 10G models with a variety of 10GBASE-T and 10GBASE-X SFP+ interfaces M4300-96X offers 12 slots for 8x10G or 2x40G port expansion cards and hundreds of combinations Large 10 Gigabit choice with SFP+ ports for fiber or short, low-latency copper DAC cables; 10GBASE-T ports for legacy Cat6 RJ45 short connexions (up to 55m) and Cat6A / Cat7 connections up to 100m Automatic MDIX and Auto-negotiation on all ports select the right transmission modes (half or full duplex) as well as data transmission for crossover or straight-through cables dynamically for the admin 1G models (M4300-28G and M4300-52G, PoE+ versions included): the 10 Mbps / Half Duplex mode isn't supported on ports 17-24 and 41-48 Link Dependency feature enables or disables one or more ports based on the link state of one or more different ports IPv6 full support with IPv6 host, dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6), multicasting (MLD for IPv6 filtering and PIM-SM / PIM-DM for IPv6 routing), ACLs and QoS, static routing and dynamic routing (OSPFv3) as well as Configured 6to4 and Automatic 6to4 tunneling for IPv6 traffic encapsulation into IPv4 packets Ease of management and granular control Dual firmware image and dual configuration file for transparent firmware updates / configuration changes with minimum service interruption Flexible Port-Channel/LAG (802.3ad - 802.1AX) implementation for maximum compatibility, fault tolerance and load sharing with any type of Ethernet channeling from other vendors switch, server or storage devices conforming to IEEE 802.3ad - including static (selectable hashing algorithms) - or to IEEE 802.1AX with dynamic LAGs or port-channel (highly tunable LACP Link Aggregation Control Protocol ) LACP mode automatically reverts to and from Static LAG, useful when the host isn't LACP anymore, for instance during a factory reset or re-configuration Unidirectional Link Detection Protocol (UDLD) and Aggressive UDLD detect and avoid unidirectional links automatically, in order to prevent forwarding anomalies in a Layer 2 communication channel in which a bi-directional link stops passing traffic in one direction Port names feature allows for descriptive names on all interfaces and better clarity in real word admin daily tasks PAGE 9 of 60
