Product Description

WS-C2950G-24-EI    Cisco 24 port 10/100 with Enhanced Image

The Cisco Catalyst^® 2950 Series Intelligent Ethernet switches is an affordable line of fixed-configuration Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet switches that extend intelligence to the metro access edge, enabling service breadth, availability, security, and manageability. Key components of the Cisco Metro Ethernet Switching portfolio, these switches are ideal for service providers looking to deliver profitable Ethernet services to the residential and small-office, home-office (SOHO) market. Featuring advanced rate limiting, voice virtual LAN (VLAN) support, and multicast management, these switches enable a variety of residential metro services such as Internet access, voice over IP (VoIP), and broadcast video.

The two built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports on the Cisco Catalyst 2950G-24 accommodate a range of GBIC transceivers, including the Cisco Course Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM) GBIC  Solution, Cisco GigaStack^® GBIC, 1000BaseSX, 1000BaseLX/LH, 1000BaseZX and 1000BaseT GBICs. The dual GBIC-based Gigabit Ethernet implementation provides customers with tremendous deployment flexibility— allowing them increased availability with the redundant uplinks. High levels of resiliency can also be implemented by deploying dual redundant Gigabit Ethernet uplinks, UplinkFast and Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+) for uplink load balancing. This Gigabit Ethernet flexibility makes the Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series switches an ideal metro access edge complement to the Cisco 7600 Series Internet Router and Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series of metro Ethernet switches.
