- Up to two simultaneous encrypted SSH (Secure Shell) connections for multiple

CLI-based sessions over the network. Refer to

Establishing an SSH Connection

on

page 66 for further information.

- SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) "get" and "set" requests (support for

SNMPv1, SNMPv2 and SNMPv3). Refer to

SNMP Support

on page 73 for further

information.

●

Out-of-band management access through the switch console port to a directly attached
terminal or remote terminal via a serial connection or modem. Refer to

Establishing a

Console Connection

on page 62 and

Establishing a Modem (PPP) Connection

on page 71

for further information.

●

Allowed managers to restrict access to a pre-defined list of IP addresses. Refer to

Allowed

Managers

on page 84 for further information.

●

Software upgrades by TFTP. Refer to

Firmware Download

on page 211 for further

information.

●

Configuration upload/download by TFTP and SCP. Refer to

Uploading and Downloading

Device Configurations and Images

on page 99 for further information.

●

"Allowed protocols" allows you to selectively enable and disable the IP protocols. Refer to

Allowed Protocols

on page 86 for further information.

Redundancy

●

IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for rapid convergence of the spanning
tree by immediately transitioning root and designated ports to the forwarding state.

- RSTP automatically detects switches that are configured as 802.1w Rapid Spanning

Tree or 802.1D Spanning Tree and operates accordingly. Refer to

Spanning Tree

Protocol

on page 127 for further information.

- Edge port for eliminating the forwarding delay by enabling a port to immediately transition

from the blocking state to the forwarding state.

●

Port redundancy provides a backup for important links. If one link fails, the backup link
takes over, preventing disruption to network traffic. Refer to

Port Redundancy

on page 135

for further information.

●

Inter-module redundancy is hardware-based and intended for important links that need to
be maintained even if there are changes in the stack. Refer to

Intermodule Port

Redundancy

on page 137 for further information.

●

Port redundancy combined with 802.1w provides configuration flexibility in complex
network configurations.

●

LAG redundancy adds the reliability of port redundancy to LAGs, thus providing inter-port
as well as intra-port redundancy.
