Quality of Service (QoS)

• Traffic policing — supports Committed Access Rate (CAR) and line rate
• Congestion management — supports FIFO, PQ, CQ, WFQ, CBQ, and RTPQ
• Congestion avoidance — weighted Random Early Detection (WRED)/RED
• Other QoS technologies — support traffic shaping, FR QoS, MPLS QoS, and MP QoS/LFI

Management

• Industry-standard CLI with a hierarchical structure — reduces training time and expenses, and increases productivity in multivendor installations
• Management security — multiple privilege levels, with password protection, restrict access to critical configuration commands; ACLs provide telnet and SNMP access; local and remote syslog capability allow logging of all access
• SNMPv1, v2, and v3 — provide complete support of SNMP; SNMPv3 supports increased security using encryption; provide full support of industry-standard MIBs plus private MIB extensions
• Remote monitoring (RMON) — uses standard SNMP to monitor essential network functions; supports events, alarm, history, and statistics group plus a private alarm extension group
• FTP, TFTP, and SFTP support — File Transfer Protocol allows bi-directional transfers over a TCP/IP network and is used for configuration updates; Trivial FTP is a simpler method using UDP
• Debug and sampler utility — supports ping and traceroute for both IPv4 and IPv6
• Network Time Protocol (NTP) — synchronizes timekeeping among distributed time servers and clients; keeps consistent timekeeping among all clock-dependent devices within the network so that the devices can provide diverse applications based on the consistent time
• Info center — provides a central information center for system and network information; aggregates all logs, traps, and debugging information generated by the system and maintains them in order of severity; outputs the network information to multiple channels based on user-defined rules
• Network Quality Analyzer (NQA) — analyzes network performance and service quality by sending test packets, and provides network performance and service quality parameters such as jitter, TCP, or FTP connection delays; allows network manager to determine overall network performance and diagnose and locate network congestion points or failures

Connectivity

• Packet storm protection — protects against broadcast, multicast, or unicast storms with user-defined thresholds
• Loopback — supports internal loopback testing for maintenance purposes and an increase in availability; loopback detection protects against incorrect cabling or network configurations and can be enabled on a per-port or per-VLAN basis for added flexibility
• 3G access support — allows use of SIC 3G module for high reliability; supports popular USB 3G modem

Performance

• Excellent forwarding performance — provides forwarding performance up to 100 Kpps; meets today's and future bandwidth-intensive application demands for enterprise businesses
• Embedded encryption — supports up to 100 VPN tunnels and 8 Mbps encryption throughput

Resiliency and high availability

• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) — allows groups of two routers to dynamically back each other up to create highly available routed environments
• Backup Centre — functions as a part of the management and backup function to provide backup for interfaces on your device; delivers reliability by switching traffic over to a backup interface when the primary one fails

Layer 2 switching

• Spanning Tree — fully supports standard IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol, IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol for faster convergence, and IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
• IGMP and MLD snooping — effectively control and manage the flooding of multicast packets in a Layer 2 network
• Port mirroring — duplicates port traffic (ingress and egress) to a local or remote monitoring port
• Port isolation — increases security by isolating ports within a VLAN while still allowing them to communicate with other VLANs
• VLANs — support up to 4094 ports or IEEE 802.1Q-based VLANs

Layer 3 services

• Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) — determines the MAC address of another IP host in the same subnet; supports static ARPs; gratuitous ARP allows detection of duplicate IP addresses; proxy ARP allows normal ARP operation between subnets or when subnets are separated by a Layer 2 network
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) — simplifies the management of large IP networks and supports client and server; DHCP Relay enables DHCP operation across subnets

Layer 3 routing

• Static IPv4 routing — provides simple, manually configured IPv4 routing
• Routing Information Protocol (RIP) — uses a distance vector algorithm with UDP packets for route determination; supports RIPv1 and RIPv2 routing; includes loop protection
• OSPF — Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) using link-state protocol for faster convergence; supports ECMP, NSSA, and MD5 authentication for increased security and graceful restart for faster failure recovery
• Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4) — Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) with path vector protocol uses TCP for enhanced reliability for the route discovery process, reduces bandwidth consumption by advertising only incremental updates, and supports extensive policies for increased flexibility, as well as scales to very large networks
• Intermediate system to intermediate system (IS-IS) — Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) using path-vector protocol, which is defined by the ISO organization for IS-IS routing and extended by IETF RFC 1195 to operate in both TCP/IP and the OSI reference model (Integrated IS-IS)
• Static IPv6 routing — provides simple, manually configured IPv6 routing
• Dual stack — maintains separate stacks for IPv4 and IPv6 to ease transition from an IPv4-only network to an IPv6-only network design
• Routing Information Protocol next generation (RIPng) — extends RIPv2 to support IPv6 addressing
• OSPFv3 — extends OSPFv2 to support IPv6 addressing
• BGP+ — extends BGP-4 to support Multiprotocol BGP (MBGP), including support for IPv6 addressing
• IS-IS for IPv6 — extends IS-IS to support IPv6 addressing
• IPv6 tunneling — is an important element for the transition from IPv4 to IPv6; allows IPv6 packets to traverse IPv4-only networks by encapsulating the IPv6 packet into a standard IPv4 packet; supports manually configured, 6to4, and Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) tunnels
• Policy routing — allows custom filters for increased performance and security; supports ACLs, IP prefix, AS paths, community lists, and aggregate policies

• Access control list (ACL) — supports powerful ACLs for both IPv4 and IPv6; ACLs are used for filtering traffic to prevent illegal users from accessing the network, or for controlling network traffic to save resources; rules can either deny or permit traffic to be forwarded; rules can be based on a Layer 2 header or a Layer 3 protocol header; rules can be set to operate on specific dates or times
• TACACS+ — is an authentication tool using TCP with encryption of the full authentication request that provides added security
• MAC authentication — provides simple authentication based on a user's MAC address; supports local or RADIUS-based authentication
• Network login — standard IEEE 802.1x allows authentication of multiple users per port
• RADIUS — eases security access administration by using a password authentication server
• Network address translation (NAT) — supports one-to-one NAT, many-to-many NAT, and NAT control, enabling NAPT to support multiple connections; supports backlist in NAT/NAPT, a limit on the number of connections, session log, and multi-instance
• Secure Shell (SSHv2) — uses external servers to securely login into a remote device or securely login into MSR from a remote location; with authentication and encryption, it protects against IP spoofing and plain text password interception; increases the security of SFTP transfers
• Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (URPF) — allows normal packets to be forwarded correctly, but discards the attaching packet due to lack of reverse path route or incorrect inbound interface; prevents source spoofing and distributed attacks

Convergence

• Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) — is used by IP hosts to establish and maintain multicast groups; supports v1, v2, and v3; utilizes Any-Source Multicast (ASM) or Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) to manage IPv4 multicast networks
• Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) — is used for IPv4 and IPv6 multicast applications; supports PIM dense mode (PIM-DM), sparse mode (PIM-SM), and source-specific mode (PIM-SSM)
• Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) — is used for inter-domain multicast applications, allowing multiple PIM-SM domains to interoperate
• Multicast Border Gateway Protocol (MBGP) — allows multicast traffic to be forwarded across BGP networks, separate from unicast traffic

Integration

• Embedded NetStream — local and global server load balancing module improves traffic distribution using powerful scheduling algorithms, including Layer 4 to 7 services; monitors the health status of servers and firewalls
• Embedded VPN firewall — Provides enhanced stateful packet inspection and filtering; provides advanced VPN services with Triple DES (3DES) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption at high performance and low latency, Web content filtering, and application prioritization and enhancement

Additional information

• Green initiative support — provides support for RoHS and WEEE regulations
• OPEX savings — a common operating system simplifies and streamlines deployment, management, and training, thereby cutting costs, as well as reducing the chance for human error associated with having to manage multiple operating systems across different platforms and network layers
