100/200 Series


• A way to deploy switches en-masse

• Uses DHCP Options 66 and 67

• Switch automatically loads its config from a TFTP Server

• LLDP—standards-based discovery mechanism similar to CDP

• Switch learns devices attached to specific ports

• Switch notifies endpoint which Voice VLAN to use, QoS parameters to set, etc

• Smartports—pre-created macros to speed up deployments

• Auto Smartports—Apply appropriate Smartports role to port based on discovered device

• Dynamic creation and propagation of Voice VLAN and QoS across the network

• Text-based Command Line Interface to ease mass deployment

LLDP-MED + CDP

Network-Wide Auto Voice VLAN

• Enables the inter connection of multiple physical devices (chassis) to form a single logical device

• Devices in stack are managed as one device

One Ip address

Serial console management

network based management (Telnet, SSH EWS)

One configuration – saves time and money during installation

• Stack topology is based on a single “master”, one “backup”, and multiple “slaves”

• Chain or ring topology


• Advantages

• Add ports to switch with no interruption

• Add resiliency – LAGs on different chassis

• Resilient core switch – two interfaces to router

• Easy config and software update

• Single IP management

• Troubleshoot, configure, and manage entire stack as single entity

Spanning Tree, Port/VLAN mirror, LAGs, ACLs, QoS

• Stack-plane Dual Ring Architecture

High throughput

Stacking Resiliency—switch can be removed with minimal affect to rest of the stack

• Most of the above features are not possible in a “clustered” stacking setup

• Stacking ports are not treated as regular user ports. Running a stacking protocol to effieciently switch traffic between members of stack

• These ports cannot be used by the user in any way, including:

They cannot be members of trunks.

The user cannot define them to be a member of a VLAN.

No statistics are collected/visible to the user.

Port settings cannot be defined on them.
