Page 117: Managing The System Time And Date
You can manage the system time and date on your switch using automatic configuration, such as the Network Time Protocol (NTP), or manual configuration methods. For complete syntax and usage information for the commands used in this section, see the Cisco IOS Note Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference for Cisco IOS, Release 12.1.
Page 118: Understanding Network Time Protocol
Cisco’s implementation of NTP does not support stratum 1 service; it is not possible to connect to a radio or atomic clock. We recommend that the time service for your network be derived from the public NTP servers available on the IP Internet.
Page 119: Configuring Ntp
Switch F Workstations If the network is isolated from the Internet, Cisco’s implementation of NTP allows a device to act as though it is synchronized through NTP, when in fact it has determined the time by using other means. Other devices then synchronize to that device through NTP.
Page 120: Default Ntp Configuration
The switch does not synchronize to a device unless both have one of these authentication keys, and the key number is specified by the ntp trusted-key key-number command. Catalyst 2950 and Catalyst 2955 Switch Software Configuration Guide 78-11380-12...

However, in a LAN environment, NTP can be configured to use IP broadcast messages instead. This alternative reduces configuration complexity because each device can simply be configured to send or receive broadcast messages. However, the information flow is one-way only.

Some of the bits previously used for the switch priority are now used as the VLAN identifier. The result is that fewer MAC addresses are reserved for the switch, and a larger range of VLAN IDs can be supported, all while maintaining the uniqueness of the bridge ID.

Page 379: Chapter 18 Configuring Voice Vlan
The voice VLAN feature enables access ports to carry IP voice traffic from an IP phone. The switch can connect to a Cisco 7960 IP Phone and carry IP voice traffic. Because the sound quality of an IP phone call can deteriorate if the data is unevenly sent, the switch supports quality of service (QoS) based on IEEE 802.1p class of service (CoS).
Page 380: Configuring Voice Vlan
The IP Phone overrides the priority of all incoming traffic (tagged and untagged) and sets the CoS value to 0. Note In software releases earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.1(13)EA1, the CoS value is trusted for all IEEE 802.1p or IEEE 802.1Q tagged traffic, and the IP Phone does not override the priority of the incoming traffic.
Page 381: Voice Vlan Configuration Guidelines
Configuring a Port to Connect to a Cisco 7960 IP Phone Because a Cisco 7960 IP Phone also supports a connection to a PC or other device, a port connecting the switch to a Cisco 7960 IP Phone can carry mixed traffic.
Page 382 Step 3 switchport voice vlan vlan-id Instruct the Cisco IP Phone to forward all voice traffic through the specified VLAN. By default, the Cisco IP Phone forwards the voice traffic with an IEEE 802.1Q priority of 5. Valid VLAN IDs are from 1 to 4094.
Page 383 Overriding the CoS Priority of Incoming Data Frames You can connect a PC or other data device to a Cisco 7960 IP Phone port. The PC can generate packets with an assigned CoS value. You can configure the switch to override the priority of frames arriving on the IP phone port from connected devices.
Page 384: Configuring The Ip Phone To Trust The Cos Priority Of Incoming Data Frames
Configuring the IP Phone to Trust the CoS Priority of Incoming Data Frames You can connect a PC or other data device to a Cisco 7960 IP Phone port. The PC can generate packets with an assigned CoS value. You can configure the switch to trust the priority of frames arriving on the IP phone port from connected devices.

Page 394: Understanding Igmp Snooping
For example, if IGMP snooping is enabled on an IGMPv2 switch and the switch receives an IGMPv3 report from a host, the switch can forward the IGMPv3 report to the multicast router. Catalyst 2950 and Catalyst 2955 Switch Software Configuration Guide 20-2 78-11380-12...

In general, the higher the level, the less effective the protection against broadcast storms. When a non-LRE Catalyst 2950 switch running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(14)EA1 or later uses traffic rates as the threshold values, the rising and falling thresholds are in packets per second. The rising threshold is the rate at which multicast, broadcast, and unicast traffic is received before forwarding is blocked.

How Class of Service Works Before you set up IEEE 802.1p CoS on a Catalyst 2950 or Catalyst 2955 switch that operates with the Catalyst 6000 family of switches, see the Catalyst 6000 documentation. There are differences in the IEEE 802.1p implementation that you should understand to ensure compatibility.

Page 536: Configuring Auto-Qos
The switch uses the resulting classification to choose the appropriate egress queue. You use auto-QoS commands to identify ports connected to Cisco IP Phones and to devices running the Cisco SoftPhone application. You also use the commands to identify ports that receive trusted traffic through an uplink.
Page 537 When you enter the auto qos voip cisco-phone interface configuration command on a port at the • edge of a network that is connected to a Cisco IP Phone, the switch enables the trusted boundary feature. The switch uses the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) to detect the presence or absence of a Cisco IP Phone.

Any user-entered configuration that was overridden can be retrieved by reloading the switch without saving the current configuration to memory. If the generated commands fail to be applied, the previous running configuration is restored. Catalyst 2950 and Catalyst 2955 Switch Software Configuration Guide 29-12 78-11380-12...

The generated auto-QoS configuration was changed and support for the Cisco SoftPhone feature was added. If auto-QoS is configured on the switch, if your switch is running a release earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.2(20)EA2, and if you upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(20)EA2 or later, the configuration file will not contain the new configuration, and auto-QoS will not operate.

The network device to which your switch is connected can impose its own limits on the number of Note interfaces in the EtherChannel. For Catalyst 2950 and Catalyst 2955 switches, the number of EtherChannels is limited to six with eight ports per EtherChannel.

PAgP is a Cisco-proprietary protocol that can be run only on Cisco switches and on those switches licensed by licensed vendors to support PAgP.
