The Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 represents the next generation networking solution for blade server environments. Built upon Cisco's proven hardware and IOS software, the Cisco Catalyst 3120 is engineered with unique technologies specifically designed to meet the rigors of the blade server infrastructure. Both switches are designed to deliver scaleable, high performance, highly resilient connectivity while supporting ongoing data center initiatives to reduce server infrastructure complexity, management and TCO. With the Cisco CBS 3120 series switches, HP and Cisco introduce a technology unique to blade server enclosures that allows multiple switches to act as a single entity. This switch stacking technology takes the individual physical switches within a rack and treats them as one logical switch. This innovation is the foundation of the switches' ability to simplify operations and management. Multiple IOS upgrade options make the CBS 3120 extremely versatile.

HP Cisco Catalyst 1/10GbE 3120X 4 Port Blade Switch Features
The Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 family eliminates the need to manage multiple switches per rack.
Up to nine switches can be combined into a single logical switch
Fully configured, each stack can provide up to 160Gb bandwidth to the upstream network
Provides up to 64Gb of intra-switch stacking bandwidth
Logical switch appears as single STP node on the network and is accessed via single IP address
Supports multiple stacking topologies that provide tailored bandwidth and redundancy solutions to each rack
Catalyst 3120 switches have multiple IP based IOS options that give network managers a cost effective way to precisely control each node in the network.
Base IOS contains the most popular feature set including PVLANs, IPv6 host support and most Layer 3 routing protocols
The IP services upgrade package provides additional Layer 3 enhancements including OSPF and policy based routing
The Advanced IP services upgrade delivers full IPv6 routing, including RIP and OSPF v3
Upgrade packages may be purchased and installed at any time, based on the requirements of each stack
Catalyst blade switches now have operational consistency with other members of the Catalyst switch family
Enjoy ease of manageability of the Catalyst 3120 switches as they support the entire Cisco suite of management, provisioning and diagnostic tools.
The entire stack is managed as a single switch and looks as one single switch to provisioning software
Managed with CiscoWorks, the Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 series can be configured and managed to deliver end-to-end device, VLAN, traffic, and policy management
The Catalyst 3120 series supports automated tools such as EEM, GOLD and VFrame DC support to simplify overall management
Use Cisco Network Assistant, a PC-based network management application, to centralize network management and configuration
SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 and Telnet interface support deliver comprehensive in-band management, and a CLI-based management console provides detailed out-of-band management
The Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 series provides a rich set of tools for securing application data across the network assuring privacy to users and data, while restricting unauthorized network access and attacks.
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a logical network topology configured on top of a physical network topology which conserves bandwidth and improves security by limiting traffic to specific groups of devices
Supports Cisco's Identity-Based Networking Services (IBNS) which prevents unauthorized network access and insures that users get only their designated privileges
Compatible with Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) so that user security profiles and authentication follow the user regardless of where they connect on the network
Access Control Lists (ACL's) are maintained in hardware for maximum performance and can be used to guard against denial-of-service and other attacks
802.1x Port Security recognizes the MAC address of the device connecting to it and will set rights or limitations based on predefined security thresholds
