Feature Benefits
Multiple user authentication
methods
Client-based access control using IEEE 802.1X, Web-based, MAC-based authentication, RADIUS, and TACACS+.
At initial release, the combinations of authentication methods allowed simultaneously on a port are IEEE 802.1X/
Web and 802.1X/MAC.
Secure management access SSH, SSL, TACACS+, and Secure FTP encryption of switch management and configuration traffic—secures the
network infrastructure from unauthorized access.
Redundancy and high availability
Redundancy protocols Protocols providing high availability include IEEE 802.1Q Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol, Switch Meshing, and
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (Premium License).
Operational intelligence
Policy Enforcement Engine Policy Enforcement Engine is user-configured to select packets that are then forwarded or dropped (based on
ACLs, QoS, and rate limiting). The engine is fast and can look for multiple variables, such as an IP address and
port number, in a single pass through a packet. Provides a common user experience regardless of which switch
the user is connected to.
Operational flexibility
L3 services at L2 Enforce ACLs, QoS, and other features using Layer 2/3/4 source, destination, and port addresses without
needing an expensive software license.
Premium License Flexible approach to licensing. The 6600 switches can run the base feature group initially and then be upgraded
later to run the Premium License feature group, if advanced Layer 3 features are needed. The Layer 3 features
include VRRP, PIM-SM, PIM-DM, OSPFv2, and OSPFv3. A Premium License can be transferred to another switch,
as long as the license remains in the same hardware family.
QoS enforcement
Bandwidth shaping/control Guaranteed minimums can be applied to traffic that must always get through the switch. Enforced maximums can
be used to limit problem clients’ bandwidth to no more than a set amount.
Multiple QoS parameters QoS based on TCP/UDP ports and other variables allows precise control of packet priority—providing timely
delivery of mission-critical data. Eight priority levels mapped to eight hardware queues can be used to set
outgoing IP priority.
Supports standard protocols
IP Routing Supports RIPv1, RIPv2, OSPFv2, OSPFv3, and static routes.
OSPF requires the Premium License for the 6600, 5400zl, and 3500yl switches.
Is standard on the 8200zl and 6200yl series switches.
VLANs Supports IEEE 802.1Q with 2,048 concurrent VLANs, Group VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP).
IP Multicast Supports PIM-SM, PIM-DM, and IGMP data-driven snooping.
Low cost of ownership
Future-proofing Programmable ASICs allow some future requirements to be implemented without replacing the switch.
Intelligent Edge features can be upgraded to Premium License features on the 6600, 5400zl, and 3500yl
switches, allowing an edge switch to be redeployed as a distribution switch.
