Features and Benefits
Power Supply Redundancy
The Cisco Catalyst 2360 Series can operate on a single hot-swappable power supply but can also accommodate a second power supply (Figure 2). The second power supply provides power redundancy, and if either power supply fails, the other power supply transparently takes over switch operation. Both power supplies are hot swappable.
Figure 2. Cisco Catalyst 2360 Series: Dual Hot-Swappable Power Supplies
Reversible Airflow and Cooling Redundancy
The Cisco Catalyst 2360 Series is cooled by a hot-swappable fan module that is designed with two fans, providing cooling redundancy. The fan module provides optional front-to-back or back-to-front airflow through the switch. Airflow direction can be reversed by removing the fan module, rotating it 180 degrees, and reinserting it in the slot.
Figure 3. Cisco Catalyst 2360 Series: Hot-Swappable Dual-Fan Unit
Dynamic Buffer Allocation
The switch can dynamically allocate additional buffering on ports that experience microburst traffic. All ports are allocated reserved buffer space and when ports experience bursts of traffic, additional buffering is allocated from a shared buffer pool.
Sustainability
Cisco Catalyst switching solutions enable greener practices through measurable power efficiency, integrated services, and innovations such as Cisco® EnergyWise, an enterprisewide solution that monitors and conserves energy with customized policies. Together, Cisco EnergyWise technology and Cisco Catalyst switches reduce greenhouse gas (GhG) emissions and increase energy cost savings and sustainable business behavior. Sustainability features in the Cisco Catalyst 2360 Series includes the following:
• Cisco EnergyWise technology: Cisco EnergyWise is an innovative architecture added to fixed-configuration switches, including the Cisco Catalyst 2360 Series, that promotes companywide sustainability by reducing energy consumption across an entire corporate infrastructure. Cisco EnergyWise enables companies to measure the power consumption of the network infrastructure and network-attached devices and manage power consumption with specific policies, reducing power consumption to lower costs.
Cisco EnergyWise encompasses a highly intelligent network-based approach to communicate messages that measure and control energy between network devices and endpoints. The network discovers Cisco EnergyWise manageable devices, monitors their power consumption, and takes action based on business rules to reduce power consumption. The management interface uses standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) or TCP to integrate Cisco and third-party management systems.
• Efficient switch operation: Cisco Catalyst 2360 Series switches, designed and engineered by Cisco, provides significant power savings through low-power operation for industry best-in-class and power consumption capabilities. The Cisco Catalyst 2360 Series ports offer reduced-power modes so that a port not in use can move into a lower power utilization state.
Easy-to-Use Deployment and Control Features
The Cisco Catalyst 2360 Series helps reduce operating costs through the following features:
• Autonegotiation on all ports automatically selects half- or full-duplex transmission mode to optimize bandwidth.
• Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) facilitates dynamic trunk configuration across all switch ports.
• Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) automates the creation of Gigabit EtherChannel groups to link to another switch, router, or server.
• Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows the creation of Ethernet channeling with devices that conform to IEEE 802.3ad. This feature is similar to Cisco EtherChannel technology and PAgP.
• Automatic media-dependent interface crossover (MDIX) automatically adjusts transmit and receive pairs if an incorrect cable type (crossover or straight-through) is installed.
• Unidirectional Link Detection Protocol (UDLD) and Aggressive UDLD allow unidirectional links caused by incorrect fiber-optic wiring or port faults to be detected and disabled on fiber-optic interfaces.
• Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping for IPv4 and IPv6 Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) v1 and v2 snooping provide fast client joins and leaves of multicast streams and limit bandwidth-intensive video traffic to only the requestors.
• Per-port broadcast, multicast, and unicast storm control prevent faulty end stations from degrading overall system performance.
• Cisco VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) supports dynamic VLANs and dynamic trunk configuration across all switches.
• Switch Port Analyzer (SPAN) allows administrators to monitor ports in a Layer 2 switch network from any other switch in the same network.
• For enhanced traffic management, monitoring, and analysis, the Embedded Remote Monitoring (RMON) software agent supports four RMON groups (history, statistics, alarms, and events).
• Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) reduces the cost of administering software upgrades by downloading from a centralized location.
• Network Timing Protocol (NTP) provides an accurate and consistent timestamp to all intranet switches.
• Cisco Emergency Responder (CER) enhances emergency calling from Cisco Unified Call Manager, helping ensure that Cisco Unified Call Manager sends emergency calls to the appropriate public safety answering point (PSAP) for the caller's location.
Advanced Intelligent Network Management Tools
The Cisco Catalyst 2360 Series offers both a superior command-line interface (CLI) for detailed configuration tasks and Cisco Network Assistant software, a PC-based tool for quick configuration based on preset templates. In addition, the CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS) supports the Cisco Catalyst 2360 Series for networkwide management.
• Cisco Network Assistant: This PC-based network management application designed for small and medium-sized business (SMB) networks with up to 250 users offers centralized network management and configuration capabilities. This application also provides an intuitive GUI through which users can easily apply common services across Cisco switches, routers, and access points, such as:
• CiscoWorks LMS: This comprehensive network lifecycle management solution provides an extensive library of easy-to-use features to automate the initial and day-to-day management of your Cisco network infrastructure. CiscoWorks LMS uniquely uses Cisco hardware and software platform knowledge and operating experience to provide a powerful set of work-flow focused configuration, monitoring, troubleshooting, reporting, and administrative tools, including:
– Support for new Cisco hardware platforms the day they ship
– Support for new technologies and services, such as Cisco EnergyWise technology, from initial deployment to day-to-day administration and management
– Configuration management tools built on the basis of Cisco experience and Cisco Validated Design recommendations
– Monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities that incorporate Cisco hardware best practices and diagnostic features
– Automated management of hardware inventories, security vulnerabilities (through product security incident response teams [PSIRTs]), and platform end-of-life and support cycles
The Cisco Catalyst 2360 Series LAN Lite switch provides basic security:
• Static Access Ports
• Multilevel Console Security to prevent unauthorized users from altering the switch configuration
• Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) to enable network administrators to copy configurations and Cisco IOS Software images through encrypted channels
• Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol v2 and SNMPv3, which provide network security by encrypting administrator traffic during telnet and SNMP sessions; SSHv2 and the cryptographic version of SNMPv3 require a special cryptographic software image because of U.S. export restrictions
Layer 2 Networking
The Cisco 2360 Series provides Layer 2 networking to enable availability. Features include the following:
• IEEE 802.1s/w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) provide rapid spanning-tree convergence independent of spanning-tree timers and also offers the benefit of Layer 2 load balancing and distributed processing
• Per-VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree Plus (PVRST+) allows rapid spanning-tree reconvergence on a per-VLAN spanning-tree basis, without requiring the implementation of spanning-tree instances
• Switch-port autorecovery (Errdisable) automatically attempts to reactivate a link that is disabled because of a network error
• Up to 128 VLANs and up to 128 spanning-tree instances per switch are supported
Quality of Service
The Cisco Catalyst 2360 Series offers intelligent services that keep everything flowing smoothly. Industry-leading mechanisms for marking, classification, and scheduling deliver superior performance for data traffic, all at wire speed. Following are some of the quality-of-service (QoS) features supported in the Cisco Catalyst 2360 Series:
• IEEE 802.1p class of service (CoS)
• Four egress queues per port to enable differentiated management of different traffic types across the stack
• Shaped Round Robin (SRR) scheduling to help ensure differential prioritization of packet flows by intelligently servicing the ingress and egress queues
