• Application

• Stacking over standard Fiber and Copper interfaces – longer distances

• Stack of units function as a single switch – unified management/control

• Details

• Initial support – 3560CX switches

• 10G SFP+, mGig ports (or combination) configured as H-Stack ports (up to 2)

• 8 units in a stack

• One unit functions as Master

• Single IP address, SNMP agent, Config for the Stack, etc

• Holds configuration of the Stack

• New unit can automatically join stack – auto upgrade firmware

Front/Horizontal Stacking

Deliverables: 3560CX – IOS 15.2(4)E (Oct 2015)

• DNS is pervasively used - why not have those servers provide App Metadata?

• Use the TXT record of DNS servers for police metadata and then let router or switches snoop client DNS request and request an Authoritative Answer from the DNS server
