GBIC,

New Cisco Scalable Stacking Architecture

Cisco Systems, the leader in internetworking solutions, provides the industry’s most ﬂexible, scalable, and manageable stacking architecture for Catalyst 3500 series

XL and gigabit-enabled Catalyst 2900 series XL switches.

Flexible Stacking

The Catalyst 3500 series XL and gigabit-enabled Catalyst 2900 series XL switches can be stacked using the low-cost Cisco GigaStack GBIC. The two-port GigaStack GBIC offers a range of highly conﬁgurable stacking and performance options by delivering 1-Gbps half-duplex connectivity in a daisy-chained connection or up to 2-Gbps full-duplex connectivity in a dedicated, switch-to-switch connection.

Cisco Switch Clustering

Cisco takes stacking to a new level with its new Switch Clustering technology. This breakthrough technology enablesupto16interconnectedCatalyst3500XL,2900XL, and Catalyst 1900 switches, regardless of geographic proximity, to form a single-IP managed network. These switches can be clustered using a broad range of connectivity options to deliver various levels of performance to meet customer requirements. Clustering connectivity options for the Catalyst 3512 XL and Catalyst 3524 XL include

Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Fast EtherChannel

, low-cost Cisco GigaStack GBIC, Gigabit Ethernet, and Gigabit EtherChannel. Because customers are not limited by proprietary stacking modules and stacking cables, Cisco Switch Clustering technology expands the traditional stacking domain beyond a single wiring closet and lets users “mix and match” interconnections to meet speciﬁc management, performance, and cost requirements.

Catalyst 3500 XL switches can be conﬁgured either as command or member switches in a Cisco switch stack or cluster. The command switch serves as the single IP address management point and disburses all management instructions dictated by the network administrator. Command switches can cluster up to 15 additional interconnected member switches regardless of interconnection media.

Standard Edition Software

Cisco Catalyst 3500 series XL Standard Edition switches include several exceptional features to increase network performance, manageability and security. The command switch feature delivers single-IP managed Cisco Switch Clustering technology to up to 16 interconnected Catalyst 3500 XL, 2900 XL, and Catalyst 1900 switches. Fast EtherChannel and Gigabit EtherChannel technology offer from 400-Mbps to 4-Gbps high-performance bandwidth among Catalyst switches, routers, and servers. Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP) enhances performance of multimedia applications and reduces network trafﬁc by allowing a switch to selectively and dynamically forward IP multicast trafﬁc to targeted end stations. Up to 250 port-based VLANs per switch allow data packets to be forwarded only to stations within a speciﬁc VLAN, creating a virtual ﬁrewall between groups of ports on the network. Network Time Protocol (NTP) provides a uniﬁed clock across the network, ensuring accurate time stamps for troubleshooting all network events. Media Access Control (MAC)-based port level security prevents unauthorized stations from accessing the switch. Multi-layer security on the switch console prevents unauthorized users from gaining access and altering the switch conﬁguration. All Standard Edition switches can be upgraded with the purchase of an optional Enterprise Edition upgrade kit.

Web-Based Switch Management: Cisco Visual Switch Manager

The Catalyst 3512 XL and 3524 XL feature the Cisco Web-based management tool, Cisco Visual Switch Manager (CVSM), which allows network administrators to view and manage the switch from anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. CVSMis launched from the switch itself, and delivers simple network- and device-level management, including port configuration, virtual LAN (VLAN) setup, networkviews,and port monitoring. CVSM is an integralpart of the Cisco scalable stacking architecture, allowing users to easily configure and manage stacks and switch clusters and to administer software upgrades across multiple switches.

Enterprise Edition Software

Enterprise Edition software includes all of the features of the Standard Edition and adds enhanced end-to-end VLAN supporttoyourCatalyst3500seriesXLswitch.VirtualLAN trunks can be created from any port using either 802.1Q trunking or the Cisco Inter-Switch Link (ISL) VLAN architecture. VLANs using standards-based 802.1Q and ISL trunking provide broadcast control and enhanced security, and simplify adds, moves and changes. TACACS+ authentication enables centralized access control of the switch and restricts unauthorized users from altering the conﬁguration. Uplink Fast technology ensures quick failover recovery, enhancing overall network stability and reliability. An Enterprise Edition switch is the best choice in a network that requires higher-level security, superior fail-safe redundancy, and end-to-end VLANs spanning multiple routers, chassis switches, and access servers.
