The Cisco SGE2000 24-Port Gigabit Switch (Figure 1) helps maximize system availability, with fully redundant stacking, redundant power options, and dual images for resilient firmware upgrades. The switch helps secure the network through IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, IEEE 802.1X port authentication, access control lists (ACLs), denial-of-service (DoS) prevention, and MAC-based filtering. The enhanced quality of service (QoS) and traffic-management features help ensure clear and reliable voice and video communications.

The Cisco SGE2000 includes an intuitive, secure management interface, enabling you to take advantage of the comprehensive feature set for a better-optimized, more secure network.

Product Highlights

• 24 high-speed ports optimized for the network core or to support bandwidth-intensive applications
• Resilient clustering provides the ability to manage several switches as a single switch to support growing businesses
• Basic QoS helps ensure a consistent network experience and supports networked applications including voice, video, and data storage
• Strong security protects network traffic to keep unauthorized users off the network
