Quality of Service (QoS) and Security Features
The C1-C2960X-24PS-L Cisco ONE Catalyst 2960x 24 Ports Network Switch offers a number of Quality of Service (QoS) and security features to ensure that network traffic is managed effectively and securely.
QoS Features:
- Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ) to ensure that high-priority traffic is given priority over lower-priority traffic.
- Low Latency Queuing (LLQ) to minimize delay for time-sensitive traffic such as voice and video.
- Access Control Lists (ACLs) to control and filter network traffic based on various criteria.
- Quality of Service (QoS) Pre-classify to provide consistent QoS for VPN traffic.
- Traffic shaping to control the rate at which traffic is sent on a particular interface.
- Congestion Avoidance to manage network congestion and prevent network failures.
Security Features:
- Advanced Security Imaging (ASI) to protect against malware and other malicious software.
- Cisco TrustSec Security Group Access Control Lists (SGACLs) to provide granular security for traffic flowing between security groups.
- Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Copy (SCP) for secure remote management.
- IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication to control access to the network.
- Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) to prevent ARP spoofing attacks.
- DHCP snooping to prevent DHCP spoofing attacks.
- IP Source Guard to prevent IP spoofing attacks.
Additionally, the switch supports Cisco EnergyWise, which allows you to monitor and manage energy consumption on the network.
