Layer 2

802.1X

Verifies device credentials before sending or receiving packets using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), see 802.1X Commands.

Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)

Exchanges information between two systems and automatically establishes a link aggregation group (LAG) between the systems, see LACP Commands.

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)

Enables a local area network (LAN) device to advertise its configuration and receive configuration information from adjacent LLDP-enabled infrastructure devices, see LLDP Commands.

Media Access Control (MAC)

Configures limits, redundancy, balancing, and failure detection settings for devices on your network using tables, see MAC Commands.

Multiple Spanning-Tree (MST)

Maps MST instances and maps many virtual local area networks (VLANs) to a single spanning-tree instance, reducing the number of required instances, see MST Commands.

Rapid Per-VLAN Spanning-Tree Plus (RPVST+)

Combination of rapid spanning-tree and per-VLAN spanning-tree plus for faster convergence and interoperability, see RPVST+ Commands.

Rapid Spanning-Tree Protocol (RSTP)

Faster convergence and interoperability with devices configured with the Spanning-Tree and Multiple Spanning-Tree Protocols (STPs and MSTPs), see RSTP Commands.

Virtual LANs (VLANs)

Improved security to isolate groups of users into different VLANs and the ability to create a single VLAN across multiple devices, see VLAN Commands.

Port Monitoring (Local/Remote)

Port monitoring of ingress or egress traffic, or both ingress and egress traffic, on specified port(s). Monitoring methods include port-mirroring, remote port monitoring, and encapsulated remote-port monitoring (see Local/Remote Commands).
