Enterprise Edition Software

Product Overview

Enterprise Edition software offers unmatched network flexibility and scalability for Catalyst 1900 and 2820 series switches through Cisco IOS technologies, delivering comprehensive management and security, bandwidth optimization, networked multimedia and virtual LAN (VLAN) support.

Enterprise Edition software includes features such as bandwidth aggregation on Fast Ethernet ports to provide up to 400 Mbps of bandwidth between switches, to routers, and individual servers. End-to-end dynamic VLANs provide simplified network-wide adds, moves, and changes, firewall protection, and broadcast control. Finally, comprehensive management and simplified troubleshooting are available on a per-port and per-switch basis through Remote Monitoring (RMON), Telnet, and out-of-band management console support.

Enterprise Edition software is pre-installed in Enterprise Edition switches, and available as an optional Upgrade Kit for Standard Edition switches.

Key Features and Benefits

• Available pre-installed on all Enterprise Edition models. Standard edition models can be flash upgraded with the purchase of the Catalyst 1900/2800 Enterprise Edition Upgrade Kit

• Bandwidth aggregation through Fast EtherChannel(r) enhances fault tolerance and offers up to 400 Mbps of bandwidth between switches, and to routers and individual servers (Feature will be available in a future software release).

• Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP) enables a switch to selectively and dynamically forward routed IP multicast traffic to targeted multimedia end stations, reducing overall network traffic

• Embedded RMON software agent supports four RMON groups (History, Statistics, Alarms, and Events) for enhanced traffic management, monitoring, and analysis

• ATM DirectorTM support allows management of Catalyst 2820 in an ATM network
