●   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.

◦     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 all for WS-C3650-48TS-S

◦     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.
