    BUSINESS FORCE Cisco Cluster Management Suite

    The Cisco Cluster Management Suite (CMS) is a Web-based software that is embedded in Cisco Switches.

    Through Cisco Switch Clustering technology, users can access Cisco CMS with any standard Web browser to manage up to 16 switches at once, regardless of their geographic proximity. Administrators also have the option of using a single IP address for the entire cluster if desired. By bringing the simplicity of traditional LAN switching to intelligent services such as multilayer switching, QoS, multicast, and security access control lists (ACLs), Cisco CMS allows administrators to take advantage of benefits formerly reserved for only the most complex networks.

    The new Guide Mode in Cisco CMS leads the user step-by-step through the configuration of high-end features and provides enhanced online help for context-sensitive assistance. In addition, a Configuration Wizard provides automated configuration of the switch for video streaming or video conferencing which can save hours of time for network administrators, eliminate human errors, and ensure the configuration of the switch is optimized for these applications.

    BUSINESS FORCE Performance, Reliability & Security

    Performance through Advanced Quality of Service and Rate Limiting allow network administrators to prioritize mission-critical, and/or bandwidth-intensive traffic, such as ERP (Oracle, SAP, and so on, voice (IP telephony traffic and CAD/CAM over less time-sensitive applications such as FTP or e-mail (SMTP).

  • Superior and highly granular QoS-based on Layers 2 through to 4 ensures that network traffic is classified, prioritised, and congestion is avoided in the best possible manner.
  • Weighted Round Robin (WRR) scheduling algorithm ensures that the lower priority packets are not entirely starved for bandwidth and are serviced without compromising the priority settings administered by the network manager.
  • Strict priority scheduling ensures that the highest priority packets will always get serviced first, ahead of all other traffic.
  • The Catalyst 2950 Series Intelligent Ethernet Switches are capable allocating bandwidth based on several criteria including MAC source address, MAC destination address, IP source address, IP destination address, and TCP/UDP port number.
  • The Cisco Catalyst Intelligent Switches support Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping in hardware this provide efficient use of resources for bandwidth-hungry applications like multicasts.
  • Reliability

  • All Cisco Catalyst Intelligent Ethernet Switches are able to contain "Packet Storm" caused by cheap(?) hubs and other faulty hardware(s) to a single port without compromising the stability of the switch.
  • Onsite maintenance provided by Cisco engineers ensure 24x7 operations.
  • Security

  • The Cisco Catalyst Intelligent Ethernet Switches offer enhanced data security through the use of access control parameters (ACPs). By denying packet on source and destination MAC addresses, IP addresses, or TCP/UDP ports users can be restricted from sensitive portions of the network. As all ACP lookups are done in hardware forwarding, performance is not compromised.
  • Private VLAN edge provides security and isolation between ports switch, ensuring that traffic travels directly from its entry point to the aggregation device through a virtual path and cannot be directed to a port. TACACS+ authentication, Multilevel access security on the switch console and the web-based management interface prevents unauthorized users from accessing or altering switch configuration.
