The next generation in switching technology. The Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 Series Switches are specifically designed to meet
the rigors of the blade server based application infrastructure and provides HP BladeSystem customers with the ability to stack up to
nine switches into a single virtual Switch. By emulating a redundant top-of-rack switch, HP BladeSystem c-Class users now have an
integrated switching solution from Cisco Systems that optimizes uplinks per rack, reduces the number of switches managed and
decreases network complexity. Both switches also provide Cisco resiliency, advanced security and enhanced manageability to the
server edge while dramatically reducing cabling requirements. The Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 comes in two versions. The
3120G is a 1Gb switch with the flexibility to provide both copper and fiber uplinks. The 3120X has sixteen 1Gb downlinks and both
1Gb and 10Gb uplinks that can be used to aggregate bandwidth from multiple enclosures, or be used as a stand-alone switch in
high bandwidth applications. The Cisco CBS3120 offers operational consistency with the rest of the industry leading Cisco Catalyst
series of switches, using the familiar IOS Command Line Interface (CLI), consistent MIBs, and management tools like CiscoWorks.
Furthermore, this consistency with the rest of the Cisco Catalyst series ensures end-to-end network service like QoS are consistently
implemented across the network.
Both switches can be upgraded with additional firmware add-ons available at time of purchase or through web downloads.
