Uninterrupted Software Upgrades • The Catalyst 8540 can be deployed with two route

processor modules where the secondary module can

be loaded with a new software image and become the

primary without any need to reboot or without any

loss of trafﬁc or connectivity

• Catalyst 8510 supports seamless software upgrades

on its SRP

• Eases maintenance and reduces mean time to repair

(MTTR)

Telnet, TFTP, and BOOTP • Standard mechanisms for software downloads and

conﬁguration input/output

• Facilitates easy and ﬂexible conﬁguration

Flash Memory for Software Download • Allows storage of multiple images and conﬁguration

ﬁles

• Remotely downloads new software revisions without

hardware changes

• Reduces cost of administering software upgrades by

providing centralized network management and local

storage capability.

Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) • Autodiscovers Cisco devices in a network • Reliable topology discovery for network

management system.

IP Ping, Trace Route • Standard IP management mechanisms • Allows network administrator to verify path integrity

at any intermediate point

• Facilitates network troubleshooting

RMON MIB • Four groups (many of the traditional RMON data sets

such as alarms, events, statistics, and history)

• Ease of management and proactive troubleshooting

RMON Traps • Can be applied to any MIB variable • Allows customized monitoring of switch operation

Text-Based CLI • Uses Cisco router CLI parser, accessible through

local terminal or Telnet

• Uses familiar Cisco CLI for online help, scripts and

extensive debugging capabilities

• Facilitates smooth integration into Cisco router

network

Local Management Ports on SRP/MSRP in Catalyst

8510 and on the RP/SRP Module in Catalyst 8540

• Ethernet port

• Dual EIA/TIA-232 serial ports

• Out-of-band management using parallel 10 MB

Ethernet network

• Allows support for local terminal and modem for

remote management

Access Protection Mechanisms • Multiple password levels and TACACS+, RADIUS,

or AAA for device management access

• Precludes unauthorized access to the Catalyst 8500,

preventing “hacking” of conﬁguration

Chassis

Modular, 5- and 13-Slot Chassis • Supports required switch and route module(s) and up

to four or eight line cards

• Allows users to ﬂexibly add or mix and match

number and type of line modules, as needed

Catalyst 8510 Uses the Same Chassis Footprint as

Catalyst 5000 and LightStream 1010

• Common power supplies and fan tray • Allows for leveraging investments in spares

Fits Standard 19-Inch Rack • Works with existing wiring closet racks

• Mounts at front or rear of chassis

• Rack-mounting hardware and cable guides included

• Ensures ease of installation in wiring closet and

network center

Dual, Fault-Tolerant Power Supplies • Can conﬁgure one or two power supplies, where the

second provides redundancy

• Both AC and DC (–48V) options available

• Offers option of increased reliability for

fault-tolerant conﬁgurations

Dual Power Cords • One to each power supply • Can be powered by independent power sources or

distribution systems for greater reliability

Field-Replaceable Fan Tray • Supports multiple redundant fans • Eases maintenance and reduces MTTR

Field-Replaceable SRP/MSRP Module in the Catalyst

8510 and Field-Replaceable SP/MSP and RP/MRP

Modules in the Catalyst 8540

• The Catalyst 5500 does not need to be powered down

to replace the SRP/MSRP

• Eases maintenance and reduces MTTR
