Detail Description

Cisco Express setup simplifies initial configuration with a web browser, eliminating the need for more complex terminal emulation programs and CLI knowledge.

Auto install
Auto install utilizes Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) based auto-configuration and image upgrade. This feature automatically downloads the configuration file, Cisco IOS Software image, allocates an IP address and hostname for the switch. This feature can be used to implement a “zero touch deployment.”

Enhanced troubleshooting
Enhanced troubleshooting is possible with an extensive array of debug diagnostic commands and system health checks within the switch.

Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR)
Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) to diagnose and resolve cabling problems on copper Ethernet ports.

Autosensing
Autosensing on each 10/100 port detects the speed and duplex 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.

Automatic medium-dependent interface crossover
Automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (Auto-MDIX) automatically adjusts transmit and receive pairs if an incorrect cable type (crossover or straight-through) is installed on a copper port.

Multifunction LEDs
Multifunction LEDs per port for port status; half-duplex and full-duplex mode; and 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T indication as well as switch-level status LEDs for the system and a redundant power supply provide a comprehensive and convenient visual management system.
