Monitoring Features

These are the monitoring features:

Switch LEDs that provide port- and switch-level status on nonstacking-capable switches

Switch LEDs that provide port-, switch-, and stack-level status on stacking-capable switches

MAC address notification traps and RADIUS accounting for tracking users on a network by storing
the MAC addresses that the switch has learned or removed

Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) and Remote SPAN (RSPAN) for traffic monitoring on any port or
VLAN

SPAN and RSPAN support of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) to monitor, repel, and report
network security violations

Four groups (history, statistics, alarms, and events) of embedded RMON agents for network
monitoring and traffic analysis

Syslog facility for logging system messages about authentication or authorization errors, resource
issues, and time-out events

Layer 2 traceroute to identify the physical path that a packet takes from a source device to a
destination device

Time Domain Reflector (TDR) to diagnose and resolve cabling problems on 10/100 and
10/100/1000 copper Ethernet ports

SFP module diagnostic management interface to monitor physical or operational status of an SFP
module

Online diagnostics to test the hardware functionality of the supervisor engine, modules, and switch
while the switch is connected to a live network

On-board failure logging (OBFL) to collect information about the switch and the power supplies
connected to it

Digital optical monitoring (DOM) to check status of X2 small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules

Enhanced object tracking (EOT) for HSRP to determine the proportion of hosts in a LAN by
tracking the routing table state or to trigger the standby router failover

IP Service Level Agreements (IP SLAs) support to measure network performance by using active
traffic monitoring

IP SLAs EOT to use the output from IP SLAs tracking operations triggered by an action such as
latency, jitter, or packet loss for a standby router failover takeover

Default Settings After Initial Switch Configuration

The switch is designed for plug-and-play operation, requiring only that you assign basic IP information
to the switch and connect it to the other devices in your network. If you have specific network needs,
you can change the interface-specific and system- and stack-wide settings.

Note

For information about assigning an IP address by using the browser-based Express Setup program, see
the getting started guide. For information about assigning an IP address by using the CLI-based setup
program, see the hardware installation guide.
