Catalyst 3000 Series

Product Overview

The Catalyst 3000 series provides a stackable switching architecture that delivers Layer 2, stackable software and VLAN switching for growing workgroup applications. The Catalyst 3000 series allows you to deploy switches in a variety of applications and protect your investment. Greater switching capacity or multilayer traffic management functions can be added through a flexible, cost-effective, stackable architecture.

The following key elements make up the Catalyst 3000 series:

• Catalyst 3000 switch---a stackable switch with sixteen 10BaseT Ethernet ports, one AUI port, plus two slots for expansion modules. A console port supports operator input, a monitoring port provides mirroring of port data to an external port, and an I/O stack port enables connection to the stack.
  

• Catalyst 3200 switch---a modular chassis that has seven expansion slots including one FlexSlot. Stackable with other Catalyst 3200 or 3000 switches, the Catalyst 3200 can be configured with a wide variety of the Catalyst 3000 series expansion modules (up to 7) including a router/WAN module in the Catalyst 3200 FlexSlot.
  

  

• The expansion modules can include mixtures of 1-port 100BaseTX, 2-port 100BaseTX with Inter-Switch Link (ISL), 3-port 10BaseFL, 1-port 100BaseFX, 2-port 100BaseFX with ISL, 4-port 10BaseT, 2-port 100VG (fiber and UTP), 1-port ATM fiber modules, and 3-port WAN.
  

• Catalyst Matrix---an 8-port crosspoint matrix switch used to connect from three to eight Catalyst 3000 or Catalyst 3200 switches to create a single-stack entity. The Catalyst Matrix provides 3.84 Gbps of bandwidth for switch to switch connectivity. The Matrix has the option of installing a fully redundant module, which includes both logic and a power supply providing truly fault tolerant switching.
  

The Catalyst 3000 series offers the following features:

• Cisco IOS software for workgroup stack delivers "plug-and-play" manageable stack architecture
  

• Optional RMON support throughout the Catalyst 3000 series
  

• An integrated VLAN architecture that leverages Fast Ethernet, ISL, and ATM technologies to extend switched VLANs throughout the enterprise
  

The Catalyst 3000 series delivers media-rate switching. Its internal switching module interfaces allow you to add optional 100BaseT, 100 VG AnyLan, or ATM interfaces that connect to high speed servers, other switched 100-Mbps LANs or ATM networks.

The Catalyst 3000 workgroup stack software architecture (Cisco IOS software for workgroup stack) delivers easy-to-use and manage stacked switching. Catalyst 3000 and Catalyst 3200 switches can be interconnected via a common switching matrix so that multiple Catalysts can switch a wide variety of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, VG AnyLan, and ATM environments. The stacking software is a distributed architecture that provides network resilience and supports automatic switch reconfiguration in addition to offering additional features to monitor and control switched network traffic.

Standard Features

The Catalyst 3000 series switches support sixteen 10BaseT ports that can be individually configured for full-duplex Ethernet, plus two slots for expansion modules. Two Catalyst 3000 series switches can be connected together by installing the 280-Mbps stack port module at the rear panel. Interconnecting two Catalyst 3000 switches with a cable provides connectivity for thirty-two 10BaseT ports, plus four expansion slots for a variety of additional interfaces. Using the Catalyst Matrix, you can interconnect up to eight Catalyst 3000 and Catalyst 3200 switches.

The Catalyst 3200 has seven media expansion slots including one Catalyst FlexSlot. These expansion slots support all existing and future Catalyst 3000 media expansion modules. The Catalyst 3200 FlexSlot can be used for a seventh expansion module or a WAN/router module used to connect an individual switch or an entire stack to the WAN. The Catalyst 3200 also has built-in dual power supplies to provide fault tolerant connectivity.

The Catalyst 3000 series provides the following features:

• Powerful software features "plug-and-play" expansion of switching capacity. Stacked switch platforms interact and are manageable as if they were a single logical entity. The switches automatically reconfigure themselves as new switches are added or removed.
  

• Adaptive cut-though switching technology that delivers wire-speed, low-latency switching. In addition, the Catalyst 3000 series has the ability to automatically switch between cut-through and store-and-forward technologies depending upon the error rate of a network at any given time.
  

• Optional modules that provide additional interfaces for additional Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, VG, ATM, or WAN connectivity. These user-installable options provide flexibility for changing or growing switching applications.
  

• Extensive packet buffering and address filtering database supporting 192 KB of per-port buffering for Ethernet and up to 10,000 end-user stations connected to the switch; ensures reliable delivery of network traffic in switched desktop and hub applications.
  

• User-definable per-port and secure-mode filtering that provide access control for sensitive information resources.
  

• Support for up to 64 VLANs internally or across switches using Cisco's LAN emulation (LANE)-based ATM, and InterSwitch Link (ISL)-based Fast Ethernet VLANs.
  

• Optional RMON traffic management providing four groups of RMON that can be utilized through Cisco's TrafficDirector application.
  

• IEEE 802.1d spanning-tree bridging per VLAN for loop detection and support of fault-tolerant switching applications.
  

• Optional Stack Port interface module that connects the switch to another Catalyst 3000 or Catalyst 3200 switch, or to the Catalyst Matrix. Delivers 280 Mbps per switch of bandwidth ensuring unrestricted traffic flow.
  

• Redundant option: the standard matrix chassis supports one crosspoint matrix module, with a slot, or bay, to add a second redundant module. Each module is a self-contained unit with complete logic and power supply. In the redundant configuration, if the primary module fails, the secondary module detects the failure and resumes operation immediately.
  

FlexSlot Modules

The Cisco 3200 double-wide FlexSlot can be used in conjunction with the 3011 WAN Access module to provide an individual Catalyst 3200 WAN connectivity or an entire stack can be connected to the WAN. The 3011 is based on the Cisco 2503 router, which provides two serial ports, an ISDN BRI port, and an auxiliary (AUX) port. The same software images available for the Cisco 2500 series (version 11.1(6) and higher) are used for the 3011. Thus, all the features and benefits of Cisco IOS software that are available on the popular 2500 router series are included with the 3011. The 3011 WAN module is compatible with the Catalyst 3200 double-wide FlexSlot.

The two serial ports operate in either DCE or DTE mode at speeds up to 2.048 Mbps. These ports can be configured to operate in either synchronous or asynchronous mode. This provides support for both dedicated leased lines as well as dial-up lines. The serial port connectors have a universal design common to the Cisco 2500 series and Cisco 7000 FSIP card. This feature enables easy transition to any of the common physical interfaces, including V.35, RS-232, RS-449, RS-530, and X.21.

In addition to the two serial interfaces, the AUX port can be configured to provide an additional dial-up line for asynchronous routing. The ISDN Basic Rate S/T Interface (BRI) removes the requirement for an external ISDN terminal adapter (TA). The BRI S/T interface provides one 16-Kbps D channel for ISDN signaling and two 64-Kbps B channels for user data access to the ISDN network.

The 3011 WAN module provides no external Ethernet or AUI ports. Packets are routed to the 3011 WAN module through the Catalyst 3200's AXIS bus. The 3011 provides WAN connectivity to any one VLAN or network segment within a Catalyst 3200 system.

• One-port 100BaseTX
  

• Two-port 100BaseTX with ISL
  

• One-port 100BaseFX
  

• Two-port 100BaseFX with ISL
