Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Software

The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series is available with either the IP Base or the IP Services feature set. The IP Base feature set includes advanced quality of service (QoS), rate-limiting, ACLs, and basic static and Routing Information Protocol (RIP) routing capability. The IP Services feature set provides a richer set of enterprise-class features, including advanced hardware-based IP unicast and multicast routing -- Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol [EIGRP], Open Shortest Path First [OSPF], Border Gateway Protocol [BGP], Protocol Independent Multicast [PIM] and IPv6 routing such as OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6

Customers can transparently upgrade the software feature set in the Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series Switches through Cisco IOS^® Software Activation. Software activation authorizes and enables the Cisco IOS Software feature sets. A special file contained in the switch, called a license file, is examined by Cisco IOS Software when the switch is powered on. Based on the license's type, Cisco IOS Software activates the appropriate feature set. License types can be changed or upgraded to activate a different feature set. For detailed information about Software Activation, visit http://www.cisco.com/go/sa.

Cisco EnergyWise Technology

Cisco EnergyWise is an innovative architecture, added to the Cisco Catalyst 3560-E switches, promoting companywide sustainability by reducing energy consumption across an entire corporate infrastructure and affecting more than 50 percent of global GhG 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 EnergyWise manageable 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 SSL to integrate Cisco and third-party management systems.

Cisco EnergyWise extends the network as a platform for power control plane for gathering, managing, and reducing power consumption of all devices, resulting in companywide optimized power delivery and reduced energy costs.

10 Gigabit Ethernet Uplinks and the Cisco TwinGig Small Form-Factor Pluggable Converter

The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E features wire-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports for high-bandwidth applications relieving congestion and helping ensure smooth delivery of data. The TwinGig converter (see Figure 3) converts a 10 Gigabit Ethernet X2 interface into two Gigabit Ethernet Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) ports. This way, customers can initially use the switch with Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and later implement 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks as business demands change, without having to upgrade the access layer.

Figure 3. Cisco TwinGig Adapter Converting 10 Gigabit Ethernet X2 Interface into Two Gigabit Ethernet SFP Interfaces

Modular Power Supplies

The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series access switches have one power supply slot and support the following power supplies. PoE switches require a PoE power supply. Data-only switches can operate with any of the power supplies:

• C3K-PWR-1150WAC: 1150WAC power supply with 800W PoE

• C3K-PWR-750WAC: 750WAC power supply for 24-port switch with 420W PoE

• C3K-PWR-265WAC: 265WAC power supply for 48- or 24-port switch without PoE

• C3K-PWR-265WDC: 265WDC power supply for 48- or 24-port switch without PoE

Maximum power availability for converged voice and data networks is attainable when a Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series Switch is combined with the Cisco Redundant Power System 2300 (Cisco RPS 2300) for transparent protection against internal power supply failures and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system to safeguard against power outages. Using the Cisco RPS 2300 to provide backup power, the Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series Switch power supplies become hot swappable. Table 4 shows the power supply compatibility matrix.

The Cisco Catalyst 3560E-12D and the Cisco Catalyst 3560E-12SD aggregation switches have dual redundant power supplies that can be replaced, one at a time, without service interruption. Customers can choose from AC, DC, and mixed power supply options:

• C3K-PWR-300WAC: Cisco Catalyst 3560E-12D and 3560E-12SD 300WAC power supply

• C3K-PWR-300WDC: Cisco Catalyst 3560E-12D and 3560E-12SD 300WDC power supply

Power over Ethernet

The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series can provide a lower total cost of ownership for deployments that incorporate Cisco IP phones, Cisco Aironet^® wireless LAN (WLAN) access points, or any IEEE 802.3af-compliant end device. PoE removes the need for wall power to each PoE-enabled device and eliminates the cost for additional electrical cabling and circuits that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and WLAN deployments. The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E 24-port PoE configurations can support 24 simultaneous full-powered PoE ports at 15.4W for full powered-device support. The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E 48-port PoE configurations can support 48 simultaneous full-powered PoE ports at 15.4W when using the optional 1150W power supply. Alternatively, for deployments that do not need full PoE on all ports, a smaller power supply can be used in conjunction with Cisco Catalyst Intelligent Power Management to support 24-port and 48-port PoE configurations.

The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series also features Enhanced Power over Ethernet support, the capability to power a growing number of devices from a single switch port, enabling greater operational simplicity and flexibility for secure converged networks. Industry first portfolio to scale beyond 15.4W per port delivering maximum solution simplicity for 802.11n access point deployments, as well as other PoE-powered devices such as phones, monitors, digital signs, medical devices, card readers and more.

Redundant Power System

The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series access switches support the new generation of Cisco RPS 2300, which increases availability in a converged data, voice, and video network by providing transparent power backup to two of six attached Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series Switches at the same time. The failed power supply can be swapped out while the switch is being powered up by the Cisco RPS 2300. The Cisco Catalyst 3560E-12D and 3560E-12SD aggregation switches don't support the RPS, they provide redundancy and switch uptime with dual redundant modular power supplies.

Primary Features and Benefits

Ease of Use: Deployment

The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E offers ease of use features such as Cisco Smartports, which enable fast and easy configuration of advanced Cisco Catalyst intelligent capabilities, encapsulating years of Cisco networking expertise. Cisco Smartports macros offer a set of verified feature templates per connection type that are easy to apply, enabling users to consistently and reliably configure essential security, IP telephony, availability, QoS, and manageability features with minimal effort and expertise.

Other ease of use features include:

• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) autoconfiguration of multiple switches through a boot server eases switch deployment.

• Automatic QoS (AutoQoS) simplifies QoS configuration in voice-over-IP (VoIP) networks by issuing interface and global switch commands to detect Cisco IP phones, classify traffic, and help enable egress queue configuration.

• 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 Cisco Fast EtherChannel^® groups or 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.

Availability and Scalability

The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series is equipped with a robust set of features that allow for network scalability and higher availability.

• The Cisco committed information rate (CIR) function provides bandwidth in increments as low as 8 Kbps.

• 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.

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

Advanced Security

The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series supports a comprehensive set of security features for connectivity and access control, including ACLs, authentication, port-level security, and identity-based network services with 802.1x and extensions. This set of comprehensive features not only helps prevent external attacks, but defends the network against "man-in-the-middle" attacks, a primary concern in today's business environment. The switch also supports the Network Admission Control (NAC) security framework.

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

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

• 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.

• Private VLANs restrict traffic between hosts in a common segment by segregating traffic at Layer 2, turning a broadcast segment into a nonbroadcast multi-access-like segment.

• Private VLAN Edge provides security and isolation between switch ports, which helps ensure that users cannot snoop on other users' traffic.
