Features:  

Exceptional Performance:
• 10 Gbps switching fabric and up to 6.5 million packets-per-second forwarding rate, ensuring full-wire speed operation for each 10BaseT/100BaseTX and Gigabit Ethernet port;
• 4 MB shared memory architecture, ensures the highest-possible throughput with a design that eliminates head-of-line blocking, minimizes packet loss, and delivers better overall performance in environments with extensive multicast and broadcast traffic;
• Full-duplex operation on all ports, delivering up to 200 Mbps on 10/100 ports or 2 Gbps on 1000BaseX ports;
• 8 MB DRAM and 4 MB Flash memory onboard, enabling the addition of a continuous stream of feature upgrades;
• Two priority forwarding queues on each 10/100 port and eight priority forwarding queues on all Gigabit Ethernet ports, enabling network traffic prioritization and seamless data, voice, and video integration (enabled in future software).

Flexible and Scalable Switch Clustering and Stacking:
• GigaStack GBIC delivers a low-cost, independent stack bus with a 1 Gbps forwarding bandwidth in a daisy-chain configuration, with up to nine Catalyst 3500 XL or gigabit-enabled Catalyst 2900 series XL switches or a 2 Gbps forwarding rate in a point-to-point configuration;
• Cisco switch clustering technology allows a user to manage up to 16 interconnected Catalyst 3500 XL, 2900 XL, and Catalyst 1900 switches through a single IP address regardless of location;
• GBIC-based Gigabit Ethernet ports give customers a choice of 1000BaseSX, 1000BaseLX/LH, or Cisco GigaStack stacking GBICs to fit their connection needs;

Integrated Cisco IOS Switching Solution:
• Bandwidth aggregation through Fast EtherChannel and Gigabit EtherChannel technology, enhancing fault tolerance and offering from 400 Mbps up to 4 Gbps of aggregated bandwidth between switches, and to routers and individual servers;
• Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP) Fast Leave support reduces network traffic by allowing a switch to selectively and dynamically forward routed IP multicast traffic to targeted end stations, providing network support for multimedia and minimizing network traffic;
• Built-in Web-based Cisco Visual Switch Manager (CVSM) provides easy-to-use Web-based management interfacethrough a standard browser such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer;
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Telnet interface support deliver comprehensive in-band management, and a CLI-based management console provides detailed out-of-band management;
• Manageable through CiscoWorks 2000 network management software on a per-port and per-switch basis, providing a common management interface for Cisco routers, switches, and hubs;
• Embedded Remote Monitoring (RMON) software agent supports four RMON groups (history, statistics, alarms, and events) for enhanced traffic management, monitoring, and analysis;
• IEEE 802.1p Layer-2 prioritization protocol ready, allowing users to assign data packets to prioritized forwarding queues.
