This guide provides procedures for using the commands that have been created or changed for use with
the Catalyst
for this release. For information about the standard Cisco IOS Release 12.2 commands, see the
Cisco.com home page at Products & Services > Technical Support & Documentation > See Documentation > Cisco IOS Software.
This guide does not provide detailed information on the GUIs for the embedded device manager that you
can use to manage the switch. However, the concepts in this guide are applicable to the GUI user. For
information about the device manager, see the switch online help.
This guide does not describe system messages you might encounter or how to install your switch. For
more information, see the Catalyst 2360 System Message Guide and the CatalystInstallation Guide.
For documentation updates, see the release notes for this release.

Overview
In this document, IP refers to IP Version 4 (IPv4).
•Features, page 1-1
•Default Settings After Initial Switch Configuration, page 1-6
•Where to Go Next, page 1-8
The switch supports the IP base feature set, which provides Layer 2+ features (enterprise-class
intelligent services). These features include access control lists (ACLs), quality of service (QoS), and
basic IPv6 management.

Deployment Features
•Express Setup for quickly configuring a switch for the first time with basic IP information, contact
information, switch and Telnet passwords, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
information through a browser-based program. For information about Express Setup, see the getting
started guide.
•An embedded device manager GUI for configuring and monitoring a single switch through a web
browser. For information about starting the device manager, see the getting started guide. For
information about the device manager, see the switch online help.

Features
•Switch clustering technology for
–
Unified configuration, monitoring, authentication, and software upgrade of multiple,
cluster-capable switches, regardless of their geographic proximity and interconnection media,
including Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Fast EtherChannel, Gigabit Ethernet, Gigabit EtherChannel,
10-Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit EtherChannel connections. For a list of cluster-capable
switches, see the release notes.
–
Automatic discovery of candidate switches and creation of clusters of up to 16 switches that can
be managed through a single IP address.
–
Extended discovery of cluster candidates that are not directly connected to the command switch.
Performance Features
•Autosensing of port speed and autonegotiation of duplex mode on all switch ports to optimize
bandwidth
•Automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) capability on 10/100/1000-Mb/s
interfaces and on 10/100/1000 BASE-TX small form-format pluggable (SFP) module interfaces that
enables the interface to automatically detect the required cable connection type (straight-through or
crossover) and to configure the connection appropriately
Chapter 1 Overview
•SFP+ support for 10 Gigabit speeds
•Support for up to 9216 bytes [the maximum packet size or maximum transmission unit (MTU) size]
for frames that are bridged in hardware and software through Gigabit Ethernet ports and 10-Gigabit
Ethernet ports
•802.3x flow control on all ports (The switch does not send pause frames.)
•EtherChannel for enhanced fault tolerance and to provide up to 4 Gb/s (Gigabit EtherChannel) or
40

IP destination address
•IGMP throttling for configuring the action when the maximum number of entries is in the IGMP
forwarding table
•IGMP leave timer for configuring the network leave latency
