traffic that enters
a switch port.

Tracker (Option 82)
feature augments a
host IP address
request with the
switch port ID.
• Port security
secures the access
to an access or
trunk port based on

timeframe, the aging
feature removes the
MAC address from the
switch to allow
another device to
connect to the same
port.
• Trusted Boundary
provides the ability
to trust the QoS
priority settings if
an IP phone is
present and to
disable the trust
setting if the IP
phone is removed,
thereby preventing a
malicious user from
overriding
prioritization
policies in the
network.

security on console
access prevents
unauthorized users
from altering the
switch
configuration.

down Spanning Tree
Protocol PortFast-enabled
interfaces when
BPDUs are received
to avoid accidental
topology loops.
• Spanning-Tree Root
Guard (STRG)
prevents edge
devices not in the
network
administrator's
control from
becoming Spanning
Tree Protocol root
nodes.
• Voice VLAN aware
port security and
BPDU Guard allow
Voice VLAN traffic
to not be disrupted
when security
violations occur.
• IGMP filtering
provides multicast
authentication by
filtering out no
subscribers and
limits the number of
concurrent multicast
streams available
per port.
• Dynamic VLAN
assignment is

Policy Server (VMPS) client
functions to provide
flexibility in
assigning ports to
VLANs. Dynamic VLAN
helps enable
the fast assignment
of IP addresses.
• Cisco Network
Assistant software
security wizards
ease the deployment
of security features
for restricting user
access to a server
as well as to a
portion of or the
entire network.
• Up to 512 (Aces)

provides power
to two failed
devices at a time.
• The connector
automatically senses
when the internal
power supply of a
connected device
fails and provides
power to the failed
device, preventing
loss of network
traffic.
• Only the Cisco RPS
2300 (model
PWR-RPS2300) should
be attached to the
redundant-power-system
receptacle.
