• Multicast VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP)

Level 3 Routing

• IPv4 routing protocols - static routes, RIP, OSPF and BGP

Quality of Service (QoS)

• Advanced classifier-based QoS (with eight queues) - classifies traffic using multiple match

Resiliency and High

• Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) - Creates virtual resilient switching fabrics, up to four

Switches do not have to

Monitoring and

• OAM (802.3ah) - Detects data link layer problems in the "last mile"; monitors link status

• Jumbo frame support

• Port Aggregation

• Spanning Tree Protocol, MSTP, RSTP, STP Root Guard

• IP Multicast Snooping and data-driven IGMP

• Transparent Interconnect of Lots of Links (TRILL)

• Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP)

• Policy-based routing

• DHCP and DHCPv6 client

• VRRP

criteria

• based on Layer 2, 3 and 4 information and applies QoS policies such as priority level and rate

limit to selected traffic on a per-port or per-VLAN basis

•

• Traffic policing - supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate

• Powerful QoS feature - creates traffic classes based on access control lists (ACL), IEEE 802.1p

• precedence, IP, DSCP or Type of Service (ToS) precedence; supports filter, redirect, mirror or

remark; supports the following congestion actions: strict priority (SP) queuing, weighted round robin (WRR), weighted fair queuing (WFQ), and weighted random early discard (WRED)

• Storm restraint - allows limitation of broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast traffic rate to

cut down on unwanted broadcast traffic on the network

Availability

Moonshot-45XGc switch modules acting as a single Layer 2/3 switch; be co-located and can be part of a disaster recovery system; Servers or switches can be attached using standard LACP for automatic load balancing and high availability; Simplifies network operation by eliminating Spanning Tree, ECMP and VRRP; IRF supports up to four members in a group.

• Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP) - Monitors Link connectivity and shuts down ports at

both ends if unidirectional traffic is detected

• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)

Diagnostics

between two devices

• CFD (802.1ag) - Connectivity Fault Detection (CFD) provides L2 link OAM mechanism used

for link connectivity detection and fault location

• Mirroring - Port mirroring enables traffic on a port to be simultaneously sent to a network

analyzer for monitoring; Flow-based mirroring
