ProSAFE® Intelligent Edge Managed Switches Data Sheet M4300 series 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 ) 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 SDM (System Data Management, or switch database) • ARP Entries (the maximum number of entries in the IPv4 Address Resolution Protocol ARP cache for templates allow for granular system resources routing interfaces) distribution depending on IPv4 or IPv6 applications • IPv4 Unicast Routes (the maximum number of IPv4 unicast forwarding table entries) • IPv6 NDP Entries (the maximum number of IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol NDP cache entries) • IPv6 Unicast Routes (the maximum number of IPv6 unicast forwarding table entries) • ECMP Next Hops (the maximum number of next hops that can be installed in the IPv4 and IPv6 unicast forwarding tables) • IPv4 Multicast Routes (the maximum number of IPv4 multicast forwarding table entries) • IPv6 Multicast Routes (the maximum number of IPv6 multicast forwarding table entries) Loopback interfaces management for routing protocols administration Private VLANs and local Proxy ARP help reduce broadcast with added security Management VLAN ID is user selectable for best convenience Industry-standard VLAN management in the command line interface (CLI) for all common operations such as VLAN creation; VLAN names; VLAN "make static" for dynamically created VLAN by GVRP registration; VLAN trunking; VLAN participation as well as VLAN ID (PVID) and VLAN tagging for one interface, a group of interfaces or all interfaces at once Simplified VLAN configuration with industry-standard Access Ports for 802.1Q unaware endpoints and Trunk Ports for switch-to-switch links with Native VLAN System defaults automatically set per-port broadcast, multicast, and unicast storm control for typical, robust protection against DoS attacks and faulty clients which can, with BYOD, often create network and performance issues IP Telephony administration is simplified with consistent Voice VLAN capabilities per the industry standards and automatic functions associated Comprehensive set of "system utilities" and "Clear" commands help troubleshoot connectivity issues and restore various configurations to their factory defaults for maximum admin efficiency: traceroute (to discover the routes that packets actually take when traveling on a hop-by-hop basis and with a synchronous response when initiated from the CLI), clear dynamically learned MAC addresses, counters, IGMP snooping table entries from the Multicast forwarding database etc... Syslog and Packet Captures can be sent to USB storage for rapid network troubleshooting Replaceable factory-default configuration file for predictable network reset in distributed branch offices without IT personnel All major centralized software distribution platforms are supported for central software upgrades and configuration files management (HTTP, TFTP), including in highly secured versions (HTTPS, SFTP, SCP) 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, including source-specific (SSM) and any-source (ASM) multicast Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) uses a dedicated Multicast VLAN to forward multicast streams and avoid duplication for clients in different VLANs Page 8 of 49
