Centralizes and reduces the cost of IPv4 address management
Layer 3 routing
• Static IP routing
Provides manually configured routing for both IPv4 and IPv6 networks
• Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

and/or SNMPv3
• Secure FTP/SCP
Allows secure file transfer to and from the switch; protects against unwanted file downloads or
unauthorized copying of a switch configuration file
• Guest VLAN
Provides a browser-based environment to authenticated clients that is similar to IEEE 8021X
