Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for bundling multiple physical links.
STP, RSTP, and MSTP for loop prevention.
Jumbo frames support (up to 9,216 bytes).
Layer 3:
Full routing capabilities including OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, and RIP.
IPv4 and IPv6 unicast and multicast routing.
VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) for network segmentation.
ECMP (Equal-Cost Multi-Path) routing for efficient traffic load balancing.
VXLAN: Supports Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) for network virtualization and large-scale Layer 2 bridging.
5. Quality of Service (QoS)
Traffic Classification: Based on Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4 headers.
Congestion Management: Advanced congestion management features like Data Center TCP (DCTCP).
Priority Queuing: 8 priority queues per port for QoS.
Traffic Shaping and Policing: Supports shaping, policing, and classification.
6. Security Features
Access Control Lists (ACLs): Standard and extended ACLs for packet filtering and security.
Port Security: Limits MAC addresses per port and restricts unauthorized devices.
Storm Control: Protects against broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast traffic storms.
Control Plane Protection (CoPP): Protects the control plane from denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
7. Network Management and Monitoring
Telemetry: Real-time network telemetry for proactive monitoring and diagnostics.
sFlow: Supported for traffic sampling and analysis.
SNMP: Supports SNMPv1, v2, and v3 for remote monitoring.
CLI and API: Provides a command-line interface (CLI) and supports automation with JSON-RPC, and REST APIs.
Network Automation: Supports automation tools like Ansible, Puppet, Chef, and Python scripting.
8. Power and Cooling
