Secure wireless connectivity.
Cisco 200 Series switches work with Cisco and third-party wireless solutions
to extend the reach of your network. Employees can work productively from conference rooms and common
areas, collaborate in any office, and access business applications from wherever they are. Power over
Ethernet (PoE) enables the switch to send power over the network cable to power wireless access points and
simplifies the wireless deployment. Gigabit Ethernet speed helps ensure that your employees have the
bandwidth and performance they need to make the most of mobile productivity. And with embedded security,
your employees can work with confidence, knowing that only authorized users can access the network and
network applications.
●
Unified communications.
The Cisco 200 Series provides QoS features to enable you to prioritize delay-
sensitive traffic in your network and let you converge all of your communications solutions – such as IP
telephony and video surveillance – over a single Ethernet network. Cisco offers a complete portfolio of IP
telephony and other unified communications products designed for small businesses, and Cisco 200 Series
switches have been rigorously tested to help ensure easy integration and full compatibility with these and
other vendor products.
Features and Benefits
Cisco 200 Series Switches provide all of the features you need to create a basic business-class network at an
affordable price. These features include:
●
Easy configuration and management:
Cisco 200 Series switches are designed to be easy to deploy and
use by small businesses or the partners that serve them. Simple-to-use web-based interfaces reduce the time
it takes to deploy, manage, and troubleshoot your network. Key features include:
◦
Cisco Discovery Protocol
simplifies setup by discovering all connected Cisco devices and allowing them
to share information
◦
Cisco FindIT Network Discovery Utility
works through a simple toolbar on the user’s web browser to
discover Cisco devices on the network and display basic information, such as serial numbers and IP
addresses, to aid in the configuration and speed the deployment of Cisco Small Business products. For
more information, and to download the utility, visit

●
Performance and reliability:
Cisco 200 Series switches have been tested to deliver the high availability and
performance you would expect from a Cisco switch and help you prevent costly downtime. The switches
speed file transfer times, improve slow and sluggish networks, keep your vital business applications available,
and help your employees respond more quickly to customers and each other. With a network based on Cisco
200 Series switches, you can address all of your business communication and connectivity needs and reduce
the total cost of ownership of your technology infrastructure.
●
PoE:
Cisco 200 Series switches are available with PoE on both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet models.
This capability simplifies the deployment of IP telephony, wireless, video surveillance, and other solutions by
allowing you to send data and power to network endpoints over the same network cable. With no need for
separate power supplies or outlets for IP phones, IP cameras, or wireless access points, you can speed up
deployment and installation and take advantage of advanced communications technologies quickly, and at a
lower cost.
●
Network security:
Cisco 200 Series switches provide basic security and network management features you
need to maintain a level of security for your business, keep unauthorized users off the network, and protect
your business data. The switches provide integrated network security to reduce the risk of a security breach,
with IEEE 802.1X port security to control access to your network.
