Cisco C3550 WS-C3550-24-FX-SMI 24-Port Switch | 3mth Wty

The Cisco Catalyst 3550 Series Switches are a line of enterprise-class, stackable, multilayer switches that provide high availability, security, and quality of service (QoS) to enhance the operation of the network. With a range of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet configurations, the Cisco Catalyst 3550 Series can serve as both a powerful access-layer switch for medium-sized enterprise wiring closets and as a backbone switch for midsized networks. For the first time, customers can deploy networkwide intelligent services, such as advanced QoS, rate-limiting, Cisco security access control lists (ACLs), multicast management, and high-performance IP routing-while maintaining the simplicity of traditional LAN switching. Cisco Network Assistant offers centralized management and configuration of the Catalyst 3550 Series to simplify deployment and ongoing maintenance by using Cisco Smartports technology. Cisco Network Assistant is a PC-based network management application optimized for networks of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with up to 250 users. Through a user-friendly GUI, users can easily apply common services such as configuration management, inventory reports, password synchronization, and Cisco IOS ® Drag-and-Drop Upgrade across Cisco SMB-class switches, routers, and access points. Cisco Network Assistant is available at no cost and can be downloaded from Cisco.com.

The Cisco Catalyst 3550-24 PWR Switch can provide a lower total cost of ownership for deployments that incorporate Cisco IP phones and/or Cisco Aironet ® wireless LAN access points. With up to 15 watts (W) of integrated inline power on every 10/100 port, the switch provides maximum device support and eases new technology deployments by eliminating the need for wall power to each IP phone or wireless LAN access point. Additionally, delivering power through the Cisco Catalyst 3550-24 PWR Switch eliminates the cost for additional electrical cabling that would otherwise be necessary in wireless LAN and IP phone deployments. Maximum power availability for a converged voice and data network is attainable when a Cisco Catalyst 3550 Series Switch is combined with the Cisco RPS 675 (RPS 675) for easy protection against internal power supply failures and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system to safeguard against power outages.
