Cisco FlexStack Stacking

Cisco FlexStack and IOS software provide true stacking, with all switches in a stack acting as a single switch unit.
FlexStack provides a unified data plane, unified configuration, and single IP address for switch management. The
advantages of true stacking include lower total cost of ownership through simplified management, and higher
availability. FlexStack supports cross-stack features including EtherChannel, SPAN, and FlexLink.

The FlexStack stack module is hot-swappable and can be added to any Cisco Catalyst 2960-SF switch with LAN
Base software, even while the switch is operating. Switches connected to a stack will upgrade to the correct Cisco

®

IOS

Software version and transparently become a stack member. The FlexStack module also enables mixed

stacking: 2960-SF series switches and 2960-S series switches can be combined in a single stack.

Cisco EnergyWise

Cisco EnergyWise is an innovative architecture, added to fixed configuration switches, promoting companywide
sustainability by reducing energy consumption across an entire corporate infrastructure and affecting more than
50 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions created by worldwide building infrastructure, a much greater effect
than the 2 percent generated by the IT industry. Cisco EnergyWise enables companies to measure the power
consumption of network infrastructure and network-attached devices and manage power consumption with
specific policies, reducing power consumption to realize increased cost savings, potentially affecting any powered
device.

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 EnergyWise­manageable devices, monitors their power consumption, and takes action based on business rules to reduce
power consumption. EnergyWise uses a unique domain-naming system to query and summarize information from
large sets of devices, making it simpler than traditional network management capabilities. Cisco EnergyWise’s
management interfaces allow facilities and network management applications to communicate with endpoints and
each other using the network as a unifying fabric. The management interface uses standard SNMP or TCP to
integrate Cisco and third-party management systems.

Ɣ

Cisco TrustSec

Ɣ

Other advanced security features

Threat Defense

Cisco Integrated Security Features is an industry-leading solution available on Cisco Catalyst Switches that
proactively protects your critical network infrastructure. Delivering powerful, easy-to-use tools to effectively prevent
the most common and potentially damaging Layer 2 security threats, Cisco Integrated Security Features provides
robust security throughout the network. Cisco Integrated Security Features include Port Security, DHCP Snooping,
Dynamic ARP Inspection, and IP Source guard.

Ɣ

Port Security secures the access to an access or trunk port based on MAC address. It limits the number of
learned MAC addresses to deny MAC address flooding.

Ɣ

DHCP Snooping prevents malicious users from spoofing a DHCP server and sending out bogus
addresses. This feature is used by other primary security features to prevent a number of other attacks
such as ARP poisoning.

Ɣ

Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) helps ensure user integrity by preventing malicious users from exploiting
the insecure nature of the ARP protocol.

Ɣ

IP source guard prevents a malicious user from spoofing or taking over another user’s IP address by
creating a binding table between the client’s IP and MAC address, port, and VLAN.

Cisco TrustSec

placing them on appropriate voice and data VLAN.

Ɣ

Port-based ACLs for Layer 2 interfaces allow security policies to be applied on individual switch ports.

Ɣ

Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol, Kerberos, and Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3
(SNMPv3) provide network security by encrypting administrator traffic during Telnet and SNMP sessions.

SSH Protocol, Kerberos, and the cryptographic version of SNMPv3 require a special cryptographic
software image because of U.S. export restrictions.

Ɣ

Bidirectional data support on the Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) port allows Cisco Intrusion Detection
System (IDS) to take action when an intruder is detected.

Ɣ

TACACS+ and RADIUS authentication facilitates centralized control of the switch and restricts
unauthorized users from altering the configuration.

Ɣ

MAC Address Notification allows administrators to be notified of users added to or removed from the
network.

Ɣ

Multilevel security on console access prevents unauthorized users from altering the switch
configuration.

Ɣ

Bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) Guard shuts down Spanning Tree PortFast-enabled interfaces when
BPDUs are received to avoid accidental topology loops.

Ɣ

Spanning Tree Root Guard (STRG) prevents edge devices not in the network administrator’s control from
becoming Spanning Tree Protocol root nodes.

Ɣ

IGMP filtering provides multicast authentication by filtering out nonsubscribers and limits the number of
concurrent multicast streams available per port.

Ɣ

Dynamic VLAN assignment is supported through implementation of VLAN Membership Policy Server
client capability to provide flexibility in assigning ports to VLANs. Dynamic VLAN facilitates the fast
assignment of IP addresses.

High Availability

Cisco Catalyst 2960-SF Series Switches provide Cisco FlexStack stacking to support increased resiliency and
availability. Other high-availability features include:

Ɣ

Cross-Stack EtherChannel provides the ability to configure Cisco EtherChannel technology across
different members of the Cisco FlexStack for high resiliency.

Ɣ

© 2012-2013 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public Information. Page 7 of 17

Ɣ

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 offer the benefit of
Layer 2 load balancing and distributed processing. Stacked units behave as a single spanning-tree node.

Ɣ

Per-VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree (PVRST+) allows rapid spanning-tree reconvergence on a per-VLAN
spanning-tree basis, without requiring the implementation of spanning-tree instances.

Ɣ

Switch-port autorecovery (Errdisable) automatically attempts to reactivate a link that is disabled because
of a network error.

Enhanced Quality of Service

The Cisco 2960-SF Series Switches offers intelligent services that keep everything flowing smoothly. Industry­leading mechanisms for marking, classification, and scheduling deliver superior performance for data, voice, and
video traffic, all at wire speed.

QoS features supported in the Cisco 2960-SF Series Switches include:

Ɣ

Cross-stack QoS allows QoS to be configured across the entire FlexStack stack.

Ɣ

802.1p class of service (CoS) and differentiated services code point (DSCP) field classification are
provided, using marking and reclassification on a per-packet basis by source and destination IP address,
MAC address, or Layer 4 TCP/UDP port number.

Ɣ

Cisco control-plane and data-plane QoS ACLs on all ports help ensure proper marking on a per-packet
basis.

Ɣ

Four egress queues per port help enable differentiated management of different traffic types across the
stack.

Ɣ

Shaped Round Robin (SRR) scheduling helps ensure differential prioritization of packet flows by
intelligently servicing the ingress queues and egress queues.

Ɣ

Weighted Tail Drop (WTD) provides congestion avoidance at the ingress and egress queues before a
disruption occurs.

Ɣ

Strict priority queuing helps ensure that the highest-priority packets are serviced ahead of all other traffic.

Ɣ

Trusted Boundary provides the ability to trust the QoS priority settings if an IP phone is present and to
disable the trust setting if the IP phone is removed, thereby preventing a malicious user.

Ɣ

Rate limiting is provided based on source and destination IP address, source and destination MAC
address, Layer 4 TCP/UDP information, or any combination of these fields, using QoS ACLs (IP ACLs or
MAC ACLs), class maps, and policy maps.

Ɣ

Up to 64 aggregate or individual policers are available per Fast Ethernet or GbE port.

Location Awareness and Mobility

In order to provide delivery of a best-in-class network experience to end users, it’s critical for network access to be
location aware. A wide variety of devices can appear on the network, both wired (switches, routers, IP phones,
PCs, access points, controllers, video digital media players, and so on) and wireless (mobile devices, wireless
tags, rogues, and so on). In many industries, locating assets is primarily a manual process and is time consuming
and error prone. The inability to locate assets in real time and to help ensure their availability when and where they
are needed limits reaction time and efficiency.

© 2012-2013 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public Information. Page 8 of 17

Location services answer business-critical questions about both mobile assets and the users of those assets
regardless of whether those assets are connecting using wired or wireless, and hence directly improve their
organization’s profitability. Network Location Services also improve security and accelerate client troubleshooting
by locating an asset, user, or device on the network.

Ɣ

Network visibility and control provide centralized visibility into wired and wireless devices on the network
and their location.

Ɣ

Location-assisted client troubleshooting enables tracking of wired or wireless clients for quick problem
resolution.

Ɣ

Asset tracking and improved security provide centralized inventory of wired and wireless devices and
asset management for improved business processes.

Ɣ

Location based policy allows greater control and visibility. With EnergyWise, power policies can be set up
(to reduce the power or shut down the power from a port) based on the location.

Ɣ

Cisco Emergency Responder (CER) enhances emergency calling from Cisco Unified CallManager. It
helps assure that Cisco Unified CallManager sends emergency calls to the appropriate Public Safety
Answering Point (PSAP) for the caller’s location.
