SCT

The Cisco Small Business switch is an advanced switch that handles the following types of traffic, in addition to end-user traffic:

Unwanted traffic burdens the CPU, and might prevent normal switch operation.

The switch uses the Secure Core Technology (SCT) feature, which ensures that the switch will receive and process management and protocol traffic, no matter how much total traffic is received.

SCT is enabled by default on the device and cannot be disabled.

There are no interactions with other features.

SCT can be monitored in the Denial of Service > Security Suite Settings page (Details button).
