Cisco Catalyst 2950 WS-C2950T-24 24-Port Fast Ethernet Switch Managed Rack-Mount

Product Information

The Catalyst WS-C2950T-24 is one of a series of intelligent devices by Cisco and is a fixed-configuration standalone switch. This model was launched in 2001 and provides fast Gigabit Ethernet speeds of connectivity for consistent, reliable performance and high availability to the Internet’s edge. It is a great solution to manage work between different existing computers and platforms (especially if you are just looking at improving your present systems rather than updating the entire environment) and is relatively easy for a non-tech head to set up and manage. This is a mountable unit that provides 24 10/100 ports and two fixed 10/100/1000BASE-T uplink ports, and it has pre-installed enhanced image applications. The series has wire-speed desktop switches that come with Standard Image features and offer Cisco IOS Software functions for basic data, voice, and video services at the edge of the network. This series also has Cisco Device Manager Software embedded in it, which allows users to easily configure and monitor it using a standard Web browser, eliminating the need for more complex terminal emulation programs and knowledge of the command-line interface (CLI). You can easily initialize it with web-based Cisco Express Setup without using the CLI. This series of Catalyst devices gives security, reliability, and versatility in a relatively easy-to-follow unit. With the Network Assistant, you can probably configure and troubleshoot multiple Cisco Catalyst desktop switches, such as Cisco Device Manager, Cisco Express Setup, and Cisco Network Assistant, with a good working knowledge (but without needing a degree or years of training in IT). These switches from the Cisco Catalyst series have data Link Protocol and Fast Ethernet (100-Mbit/s), and they are compatible with PCs. Other features include monitoring, full duplex capability, uplink and VLAN support, and special manageable functions. The remote management protocols in this Catalyst series include various varieties of HTTP, RMON, SNMP, SSH, TFTP, Telnet, and more. Their power consumption is 30 watts when in operation, and the power source used is AC 120/230 V (50/60 Hz). They have a flash memory of 8MB and a RAM memory of 16 MB SDRAM, so they are fast too. Of course, all the units of this series are designed to be stackable. These measure 17. 5 inches by 1.7 inches high by 9.5 inches deep, weighing 7 lbs. The series can operate in altitudes up to 9.84 ft., and their maximum operating temperature is 114 degrees Fahrenheit, and the minimum is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. They are a great solution if you have a number of computers and other devices still working in a way that you are comfortable with 10 or more years, and rather than update the technology and software that you rely on and understand (and retrain staff), you just want to continue with your practices and smooth out and speed up the system. This series of units is a simple solution for ensuring your network continues to be robust, and it features top-of-the-line security, high availability, and traditional LAN switching.
