Switch Features

sFlow

sFlow is the standard for monitoring high-speed switched and routed

networks. sFlow technology is built into network equipment and gives

complete visibility into network activity, enabling effective management and

control of network resources. The PowerConnect M6220, M6348, M8024,

and M8024-k switches support sFlow version 5.
For information about configuring managing sFlow settings, see "Monitoring

Switch Traffic" on page 399.

SNMP Alarms and Trap Logs

The system logs events with severity codes and timestamps. The events are

sent as SNMP traps to a trap recipient list.
For information about configuring SNMP traps and alarms, see "Configuring

SNMP" on page 327.

CDP Interoperability through ISDP

Industry Standard Discovery Protocol (ISDP) allows the PowerConnect

switch to interoperate with Cisco devices running the Cisco Discovery

Protocol (CDP). ISDP is a proprietary Layer 2 network protocol which inter-

operates with Cisco network equipment and is used to share information

between neighboring devices (routers, bridges, access servers, and switches).
For information about configuring ISDP settings, see "Discovering Network

Devices" on page 663.

Remote Monitoring (RMON)

RMON is a standard Management Information Base (MIB) that defines

current and historical MAC-layer statistics and control objects, allowing real-

time information to be captured across the entire network.
For information about configuring managing RMON settings, see

"Monitoring Switch Traffic" on page 399.
