Front/Horizontal Stacking
•
•
Application
•
Stacking over standard Fiber and Copper interfaces – longer distances
•
Stack of units function as a single switch – unified management/control
Details
•
Initial support – 3560CX switches
•
10G SFP+, mGig ports (or combination) configured as H-Stack ports (up to 2)
•
8 units in a stack
•
One unit functions as Master
•
•
Single IP address, SNMP agent, Config for the Stack, etc
•
Holds configuration of the Stack
Stack up to 96 GigE ports (3560CX)
40 Gbps throughput
Aggregation
Switch/
mGig Switch
New unit can automatically join stack – auto upgrade firmware
Deliverables: 3560CX – IOS 15.2(4)E (Oct 2015)

Using DNS as an Authoritative Source (DNSAS)
•
DNS is pervasively used - why not have those servers provide App Metadata?
• Use the TXT record of DNS servers for police metadata and then let router or switches
snoop client DNS request and request an Authoritative Answer from the DNS server
