New Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(35)SE for Cisco
Catalyst 3750, 3560, 3550, 2960, 2970 Series Switches;
and CBS30x0 Series Blade Switches
PB380237
Cisco®announces Cisco IOS®Software updates for Cisco Catalyst®3750, 3560, 3550,
2960, 2970 Series Switches and CBS30x0 Series Blade Switches. This new release
furthers Cisco leadership in providing secure, reliable, integrated data and voice LAN
switching solutions.
This product bulletin contains content and delivery information for Cisco IOS Software
Release 12.2(35)SE.
The following new features are available with Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(35)SE for
enterprise Ethernet switches:
●Multi Domain Authentication (MDA)—MDA provides enhanced security for IP phone
deployments. This allows an IP phone (Cisco or third-party) and a single host behind the IP
phone to independently authenticate using 802.1x. Using this method, a switch can place
the host in the data VLAN and IP phone in the voice VLAN, though they appear on the
same switch port. Data VLAN can be downloaded from the authentication, authorization,
and accounting (AAA) server. For non-802.1x devices, MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB)
can be used as the fallback to authenticate using the MAC address of the device. For
non-802.1x deployments, MAB can be used to authenticate both IP phones and hosts.
●Local Web Authentication—Allows non-802.1x users to authenticate using a login page.
The switch intercepts an HTTP packet from the host and sends an HTML login page. The
user keys in the credentials (such as username and password) and gets authenticated by
an AAA server.
●MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) for Voice VLAN—This feature allows non-802.1x IP
phones (with no 802.1x supplicant) to authenticate to the network, utilizing the MAC
address of the IP phone. The switch will initiate an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
conversation with an AAA server on behalf of the IP phone to authenticate the MAC
address itself. This process is transparent to the end user and utilizes a prepopulated
database on the AAA server.
●MAB aging timer—Provides a mechanism to detect inactive hosts after they have
authenticated using MAB. The switch flushes the entries for hosts that remain inactive
for this duration, thus allowing new hosts to get authenticated on the same port.
●Fast Stack Image Update—Updates the software images for all the stack members
in parallel, improving the speed and performance of image updates.

●Generic Online Diagnostics Framework (GOLD) for Cisco Catalyst 3560—GOLD is a
fault detection framework that provides troubleshooting tools for customers and the Cisco
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) and can be either run on demand or scheduled.
◦
Supports the same level of GOLD functionality available on the Cisco Catalyst 3750.
●Power over Ethernet (PoE) MIB—A new CISCO-POWER-ETHETNET-EXE-MIB provides
PoE visibility and allows administrators to proactively monitor power usage. Table 1
describes managed objects related to PoE.
Table 1. Overview of New PoE MIB Object Types
MIB Object Type Object Description
SET ●Enable PoE mode (auto/static and so on)
●Max power allowed on this port (optional)
●Threshold for allocated power
TRAP ●When allocated power exceeds specified threshold
GET ●PoE mode (auto/static and so on)
●Operational status (power deny/on/off scenarios)
●Power allocated (through Cisco Discovery Protocol negotiation or power class) on the interface
●Type of the device plugged into the port
●IEEE power classification class
●Enhanced Object Tracking (EoT)—Provides ability for Hot Standby Router Protocol
(HSRP)-like protocols to monitor the link and route state objects and dynamically adjust to
state changes. This provides increased network availability during failover.
●STACK MAC Persistent Timer—Currently, when a stack master is removed and a new
master takes over, by default, the MAC address of the new stack master becomes the new
stack MAC router address. This feature enables users to configure a timer to allow a time
delay before stack MAC address changes to the new master MAC address. A value of “0”
helps ensure the original master MAC address remains the stack MAC router address, thus
making it transparent to the endpoints.
●Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 30x0 Series carry no new features in this release. However,
the common bug fixes to the 12.2(35)SE release are included

You must purchase the EMI/IP Services or Advanced IP Services software upgrade kit when
upgrading a switch from SMI/IP Base to EMI/IP Services or Advanced IP Services software.
Downloads of SMI/IP Base, EMI/IP Services, and Advanced IP Services files are monitored for
adherence to this requirement.
Because of export restrictions on strong cryptography software, a separate image is required for
the cryptographic features (Secure Shell [SSH] Protocol, Simple Network Management Protocol
Version 3 [SNMPv3], and Kerberos Protocol). These software images can be downloaded from the
corresponding Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) area of the links provided in this section.
Note that the Cisco Advanced IP Services license is available only in cryptographic format.
