MAC destination address, IP source address, IP destination address, and TCP or UDP port number. Bandwidth allocation is essential when network
environments require service-level agreements or when it is necessary for the network manager to control the bandwidth given to certain users.
MANAGEMENT
The new Cisco Express Setup feature simplifies the initial configuration of a switch. Users now have the option to set up the switch through a Web
browser, eliminating the need for more complex terminal-emulation programs and knowledge of the command-line interface (CLI). Cisco Express
Setup reduces the cost of deployment by helping less-skilled personnel quickly and simply set up switches.
Cisco Network Assistant is a PC-based network-management application optimized for LANs of small and medium-sized businesses with up to 250
users. Cisco Network Assistant offers centralized management of Cisco switches, routers, and WLAN access points. It supports a wide range of
Cisco Catalyst intelligent switches from Cisco Catalyst 2950 through Cisco Catalyst 4506. Through a user-friendly GUI, users can configure and
manage a wide array of switch functions and start the device manager of Cisco routers and Cisco wireless access points. A few mouse clicks enable
the Cisco recommended security, availability, and QoS features without the need to consult a detailed design guide. The Security wizard
automatically restricts unauthorized access to servers with sensitive data. Smartports and wizards save hours of time for network administrators,
eliminate human errors, and help ensure that the configuration of the switch is optimized for these applications. Available at no cost, Cisco Network
Assistant can be downloaded from Cisco.com.
In addition to the Cisco Network Assistant, the Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series switches provide for extensive management using SNMP network-
management platforms such as CiscoWorks for Switched Internetworks. Managed with CiscoWorks, Cisco Catalyst switches can be configured and
managed to deliver end-to-end device, VLAN, traffic, and policy management. Additionally, the CiscoWorks Resource Manager Essentials, a Web-
based management tool, helps enable automated inventory collection, software deployment, easy tracking of network changes, views into device
availability, and quick isolation of error conditions.
Table 1 gives the features and benefits of the Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series. Table 2 gives the hardware specifications, and Table 3 gives the power
specifications. Table 4 lists the management and standards support, and Table 5 provides the safety and compliance information.

Feature Benefit
Ease of Use and Deployment
• Cisco Express Setup simplifies initial configuration with a Web browser, eliminating the need for more
complex terminal emulation programs and CLI knowledge.
• IEEE 802.3af and Cisco prestandard PoE support comes with automatic discovery to detect a Cisco
prestandard or IEEE 802.3af endpoint and provide the necessary power without any user configuration.
• DHCP autoconfiguration of multiple switches through a boot server eases switch deployment.
• Automatic QoS (Auto QoS) simplifies QoS configuration in voice-over-IP (VoIP) networks by issuing
interface and global switch commands to detect Cisco IP phones, classify traffic, and enable egress queue
configuration.
• Autosensing on each 10/100 port detects the speed of the attached device and automatically configures the
port for 10- or 100-Mbps operation, easing switch deployment in mixed 10- and 100-Mbps environments.
• Autonegotiating on all ports automatically selects half- or full-duplex transmission mode to optimize
bandwidth.
• Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) helps enable dynamic trunk configuration across all switch ports.
• Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) automates the creation of Cisco Fast EtherChannel
®
groups or Gigabit
EtherChannel groups to link to another switch, router, or server.
• Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows the creation of Ethernet channeling with devices that
conform to IEEE 802.3ad. This feature is similar to Cisco EtherChannel technology and PAgP.
