●   User experience:

◦     IP service-level agreements (SLAs) enable customers to assure new business-critical IP applications, as well as IP services that utilize data, voice, and video, in an IP network. This feature requires the IP Services feature set for all models of WS-C3650-48PD-L

◦     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 help enable egress queue configuration.

◦     Auto-negotiation on all ports automatically selects half- or full-duplex transmission mode to optimize bandwidth.

◦     Automatic media-dependent interface crossover (MDIX) automatically adjusts transmit and receive pairs if an incorrect cable type (crossover or straight through) is installed.

●   Simplified configuration and connectivity:

◦     Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) facilitates dynamic trunk configuration across all switch ports.

◦     Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) automates the creation of Cisco Fast Ether Channel groups or Gigabit Ether Channel 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 Ether Channel technology and PAgP.

◦     Unidirectional Link Detection Protocol (UDLD) and aggressive UDLD allow unidirectional links caused by incorrect fiber-optic wiring or port faults to be detected and disabled on fiber-optic interfaces.

◦     Cisco VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) Version 3 supports dynamic VLANs and dynamic trunk configuration across all switches specially for Cisco WS-C3650-48PD-L.
