General Information
Manufacturer: Cisco
Product ID: WS-C2912MF-XL
Product Description: 12-port 100BaseFX Switch With Two Module Slots (Enterprise Edition)
Product Type: Ethernet Switch
Marketing Information
The Cisco Catalyst 2912MF XL Fast Ethernet switch combines outstanding performance, ease of use, and integrated Cisco IOS software from the leader in networking. The Catalyst 2912MF XL is a flexible, scalable, and affordable solution, ideal for aggregating Fast Ethernet workgroups over 100Base-FX connections in small and midsized campus environments.

The Catalyst 2912MF XL switch, a member of the Catalyst 2900 Series XL family, contains 12 100Base-FX ports and two versatile module slots to provide unmatched expansion capabilities and high-speed connectivity. The modular design allows users to easily add 10Base-T/100Base-T, 100Base-FX, Gigabit Ethernet, or ATM (OC-3) ports to increase port density and deliver high-speed uplinks. With the Gigabit Ethernet module, Catalyst 2912MF XL switches (as well as the Catalyst 2924M XL switch) can be stacked (up to nine switches) with the low-cost Cisco GigaStack GBIC. The advanced Cisco architecture incorporates a switch fabric of 3.2 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 3.0 million pps to deliver wire-speed performance across all ports.

Management & Protocols
Manageable: Yes
Management:
  • SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) II
  • SNMP MIB extensions, Bridging MIB (RFC 1493)

    Comprehensive Manageability:
  • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Telnet interface support delivers comprehensive in-band management, and the Cisco IOS CLI-based management console provides detailed out-of-band management
  • CMS, a built-in Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server, provides an ease-of-use Web-based management interface through a standard browser such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer
  • The switch is manageable through CiscoWorks Windows and CiscoWorks 2000 network management software on a per-port and per-switch basis, providing a common management interface for Cisco routers, switches, and hubs
  • Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) enables a CiscoWorks network management station to automatically discover the switch in a network topology
  • An embedded Remote Monitoring (RMON) software agent supports four RMON groups (history, statistics, alarms, and events) for enhanced traffic management, monitoring, and analysis
  • Cisco IOS software supports all nine RMON groups through use of a Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) port, which permits high-performance traffic monitoring of a single port, a group of ports, or the entire switch from a single network analyzer or RMON probe
  • Autoconfiguration eases deployment of switches in the network by automatically configuring multiple switches across a network via a boot server
  • Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) reduces the cost of administering software upgrades by enabling downloads from a centralized location
  • Each port includes a multifunction LED for port status, half-duplex/full-duplex, and 10Base-T/100Base-T indications as well as switch-level status LEDs for system, module status, redundant power supply (RPS), and bandwidth utilization, providing a comprehensive and convenient visual management system
  • Domain Name Services (DNS) client support provides IP address resolution with user-defined device names
  • Network Time Protocol (NTP) provides an accurate and consistent timestamp to all switches within the intranet
  • Spanning Tree Root Guard (STRG) prevents devices not in the network administrator's or service provider's control from becoming STP root nodes
  • Cisco Virtual Trunking Protocol (VTP) Pruning limits broadcasts on VTP trunks. When VTP pruning is enabled, broadcast traffic is flooded only on trunk links required to reach the destination devices
    • Protocols: TCP/IP
      HTTP
      TFTP
      FTP
      VTP
    Security Features:
  • Secures a port to an individual MAC address group of up to 132 MAC addresses; addresses can be learned or manually entered; can prevent unauthorized stations from accessing the switch
  • Password-protected in-band and out-of-band management provides protection against unauthorized configuration changes and secures against unwanted intruders. Provides administrators the choice of level of security, notification, and resulting actions
  • TACACS+ authentication enables centralized control of the switch and restricts unauthorized users from altering the configuration
  • Private VLAN Edge provides security and isolation between ports on a switch, ensuring that voice traffic travels directly from its entry point to the aggregation device through a virtual path and cannot be directed to a different port
  • Multilevel security on the console access prevents unauthorized users from altering the switch configuration
    • Processor & Chipset
    Processor: Power PC 403C
    Memory
    Flash Memory: 4 MB
    Software
    Operating System: Integrated Cisco IOS Switching Software:
  • CGMP Fast Leave software allows end stations to quickly exit from a multicast session, reducing superfluous traffic on the network
  • Bandwidth aggregation through Fast EtherChannel and Gigabit EtherChannel technology enhances fault tolerance and offers up to 800 Mbps and 4 Gbps of bandwidth between switches, and to routers and individual servers
  • Per-port broadcast, multicast, and unicast storm control prevents faulty end stations from degrading overall systems performance
  • Command-line interface (CLI) support provides common user interface and a command set with Catalyst 5000, 5500 and 8500 Series switches and all Cisco routers
