The following table lists the supported hardware models.

The Catalyst 1000 Switches support a wide range of optics. Because the list of supported optics is updated on a regular basis, consult the tables at this URL for the latest SFP+ and SFP module compatibility information: https://tmgmatrix.cisco.com

This section lists the ease-of-operation features supported by Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series Switches:

• Cisco Catalyst Smart Operations is a comprehensive set of features that simplify LAN deployment, configuration, and troubleshooting. Catalyst Smart Operations is a set of features that includes Auto Smartports, Smart Configuration, and Smart Troubleshooting to enhance operational excellence:

  • Cisco Auto Smartports provide automatic configuration as devices connect to the switch port, allowing auto detection, and plug and play of the device onto the network.

  • Cisco Smart Troubleshooting is an extensive array of debug diagnostic commands and system health checks within the switch, including Generic Online Diagnostics (GOLD) and Onboard Failure Logging (OBFL).

  • Auto Configuration determines the level of network access provided to an endpoint based on the type of the endpoint device.

  • Interface templates provide a mechanism to configure multiple commands at the same time and associate it with a target (such as an interface). An interface template is a container of configurations or policies that can be applied to specific ports.

The Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series Switches provide a range of security features to limit access to the network and mitigate threats.

• In Cisco IOS Release 15.2(7)E3 and later releases, SSH is enabled by default to connect to networks, and Telnet is disabled by default.

• Port security: secures the access to an access or trunk port based on MAC address. It limits the number of learned MAC addresses to deny MAC address flooding.

• Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) snooping: filters untrusted DHCP messages between untrusted hosts and DHCP servers.

• Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI): prevents malicious attacks on the device by not relaying invalid Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests and responses to other ports in the same VLAN.

• Flexible authentication: supports multiple authentication mechanisms including 802.1X, MAC Authentication Bypass, and web authentication.

• Open mode: creates a user-friendly environment for 802.1X operations.

• RADIUS Change of Authorization (CoA): enables asynchronous policy management.

• Standard and extended access control lists (ACLs): define security policies on routed interfaces for control-plane and data-plane traffic. IPv6 ACLs can be applied to filter IPv6 traffic.

• Port-based ACLs for Layer 2 interfaces: allow security policies to be applied on individual switch ports.

• Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol and Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3): provide network security by encrypting administrator traffic during Telnet and SNMP sessions. SSH Protocol, Kerberos, and the cryptographic version of SNMPv3 require a special cryptographic software image because of U.S. export restrictions.

• Bidirectional data support on the Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) port: allows Cisco intrusion detection.

• TACACS+ and RADIUS authentication: facilitates the centralized control of a device and restricts unauthorized users from altering the configuration.

• MAC address notification: notifies administrators about users added to or removed from the network.

• Multilevel security on console access: prevents unauthorized users from altering the device configuration.

• Bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) Guard: shuts down Spanning Tree Port Fast-enabled interfaces when BPDUs are received to avoid accidental topology loops.

• Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) filtering: provides multicast authentication by filtering out non-subscribers and limits the number of concurrent multicast streams available per port.

• 802.1x monitor mode: enables authentication across the wired infrastructure in an audit mode without affecting wired users or devices. It helps IT administrators to smoothly manage 802.1x transitions by allowing access and logging system messages when a device requires reconfiguration or is missing an 802.1x supplicant.

This section lists the deployment and control features:

• Auto-negotiation on all ports automatically selects half- or full-duplex transmission mode to optimize bandwidth.

• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) auto-configuration of multiple switches through a boot server eases switch deployment.

• Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) facilitates dynamic trunk configuration across all switch ports.

• Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) automates the creation of Cisco Fast EtherChannel groups and Gigabit groups.

• Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows the creation of Ethernet channeling with devices that conform to IEEE 802.3ad.

• Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows the creation of Ethernet channeling with devices that conform to IEEE 802.3ad.

• Unidirectional Link Detection Protocol (UDLD) and Aggressive UDLD allow unidirectional links caused by incorrect wiring. Also, port faults can be detected and disabled on the interfaces.

• Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) v1, v2, v3 Snooping for IPv4. MLD v1 and v2 Snooping provide fast client joins and leaves of multicast streams and limit bandwidth-intensive video traffic to only the requester.

• Voice VLAN simplifies telephony installations by keeping voice traffic on a separate VLAN for easier administration and troubleshooting.

• Layer 2 traceroute eases troubleshooting by identifying the physical path that a packet takes from source to destination.

• Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) reduces the cost of administering software upgrades by downloading from a centralized location.

• Network Timing Protocol (NTP) provides an accurate and consistent timestamp to all intranet switches.

• Storm control for unicast, broadcast and multicast traffic to prevent disruption in the network due to packet flooding on the LAN.

• IEEE 802.1s/w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) provide rapid spanning-tree convergence independent of spanning-tree timers and also offers the benefit of Layer 2 load balancing and distributed processing.

• Switch-port auto-recovery (error-disable) automatically attempts to reactivate a link that is disabled because of a network error

This section lists the quality of service (QoS) features:

• Multilayer Switching (MLS) QoS provides the ability to configure granular policies and classes on every interface. These policies include policers, markers, and classifiers.

• Supports up to 4 egress queues per port, and finer flow segregation using 2 threshold markers for non-strict-priority queues.

• Strict priority queuing to ensure that the highest-priority packets are serviced ahead of all other traffic.

• Shared Round Robin (SRR) scheduling to ensure differential prioritization of packet flows.

The following table lists the system requirements for a PC running Cisco Configuration Professional for Catalyst, including Web browser versions.

The Cisco IOS image is stored as a bin file in a directory that is named with the Cisco IOS release number. The files necessary for web management are contained in a subdirectory. The image is stored on the system board flash device (flash:).

You can use the show version privileged EXEC command to see the software version that is running on your switch.

Note	Although the show version output always shows the software image running on the switch, the model name shown at the end of this display is the factory configuration and does not change if you upgrade the software license.

You can also use the dir filesystem: privileged EXEC command to see the directory names of other software images that you might have stored in flash memory.

If you have a service support contract and order a software license or if you order a switch, you receive the universal software image and a specific software license.

If the Web UI does not load or work properly after the software upgrade, perform the following steps:

1. Specify the authentication method for HTTP server users as local.

   Device(config)# ip http authentication local

2. Configure the username and password with privilege 15.

   Device(config)# username user privilege 15 password password

3. Clear the browser cache and relaunch the Web UI.

4. Login by entering the privilege 15 username and password.

The Cisco Bug Search Tool (BST) allows partners and customers to search for software bugs based on product, release, and keyword, and aggregates key data such as bug details, product, and version. The BST is designed to improve the effectiveness in network risk management and device troubleshooting. The tool has a provision to filter bugs based on credentials to provide external and internal bug views for the search input.
