With a network based on Cisco Business 250 Series switches, you can meet all your business communications and connectivity needs and reduce the total cost of ownership of your technology infrastructure. Cisco Business 250 Series switches also support 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplinks on some models, so you can create a high-performance and future-ready network to support your thriving business
● Layer 3 Static Routing: This feature allows you to segment your network into separate workgroups and interact over VLANs without compromising application performance. As a result, you can manage internal routing with your switches and allocate your router for external traffic and security, helping your network to work more efficiently.
● Power over Ethernet (PoE): Cisco Business 250 Series switches are available with PoE+ support on Gigabit Ethernet models. This capability allows you to deploy IP telephony, wireless communications, video surveillance and other solutions with just one network cable, thereby eliminating the need for separate power supplies or cabling. PoE+ provides up to 30 watts of power per port, which is ideal for deploying 802.11ac wireless access points with pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) functionality. IP cameras, video phones and devices with thin clients, providing greater flexibility and investment protection.
● Network Security: Cisco Business 250 Series switches provide the security and network management functions necessary to maintain a high level of security for your business, prevent unauthorized users from accessing the network and protect your business data. The switches include integrated network security to reduce the risk of a security breach, IEEE 802.1X port protection to control access to your network, Denial of Service (DoS) attack prevention to increase network uptime during an attack, and extensive access control Lists (ACLs) to protect sensitive parts of the network. network against unauthorized users and protection against network attacks.
● Flexible and Compact Design: The sleek and compact design provides additional flexibility for deployment, including the installation of external wiring cabinets such as retail stores, open-plan offices and classrooms, without disturbing the environment.
● Energy Efficient Solution: Cisco Business 250 Series switches are designed to be energy efficient and environmentally friendly without compromising performance. They help to save energy by optimizing energy consumption, which helps to protect the environment and reduce your energy consumption. Power saving features include:
◦ Support for the energy-efficient Ethernet standard (IEEE 802.3az), which reduces energy consumption by monitoring the volume of traffic over the active communication channel and putting the channel into sleep mode during periods of silence.
◦ Automatic power off of ports when communication is disconnected
◦ Fanless design in most models, which reduces power consumption, increases reliability and ensures quieter operation.
● Peace of Mind and Investment Protection: Cisco Business 250 Series Switches provide the reliable performance, investment protection and peace of mind you expect from a Cisco Switch. Additional annual access to our Small Business Support Center to receive ongoing support. A limited lifetime warranty with return to factory replacement ensures the smooth operation of your business
