DHCP Server
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a means of passing
configuration information (including the IP address of a TFTP server and a
configuration file name) to hosts on a TCP/IP network. The switch can serve
as a DHCP server or client.
For more information on the device serving as a DHCP server, see "DHCP
Server" on page 297.
For more information on the device serving as a DHCP client, see "DHCP
IPv4 Interface" on page 214.
Protected Ports
The Protected Ports feature provides Layer 2 isolation between interfaces
(Ethernet ports and LAGs) that share the same Broadcast domain (VLAN)
with other interfaces.
For more information, see "Protected Ports" on page 395.
iSCSI Optimization
iSCSI optimization provides the iSCSI flows with specific priority over other
network traffic. In addition, the feature provides monitoring of iSCSI
sessions.
For more information, see "iSCSI Optimization" on page 595.

This feature enables user control over the filtering of packets with proprietary
protocols such as CDP, VTP, DTP, UDLD, PaGP, and SSTP. The user can
select any combination of the protocols to be filtered, for example: CDP and
VTP and UDLD.
