The Cisco SGE2010P 48-Port Gigabit Switch (Figure 1) allows you to expand your network securely. Web-based configuration of the switch is secured using SSL. The Cisco SGE2010P is optimized for maximum 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.

Highlights

• 48 high-speed ports optimized for the network core or to support bandwidth-intensive applications
• Power over Ethernet easily and cost-effectively powers wireless access points, video cameras, and other network-connected endpoints
• Resilient clustering provides the ability to manage several switches as a single switch to support growing businesses
• Strong security protects network traffic to keep unauthorized users off the network
• Simplified, web-based management for easy installation and configuration

For wireless or voice over IP (VoIP) deployments, the Cisco SGE2010P supports the IEEE 802.3af standard for Power over Ethernet (PoE). Automatic load sensing enables the circuitry to detect PoE on the end device before providing power. For safety, each port has independent overload and short-circuit protection, along with LED indicators to show power status. It provides 15W of available PoE power on up to 24 of the Gigabit Ethernet ports for powering PoE-enabled wireless access points or VoIP handsets. The maximum PoE available per device for all ports is 360W.

The Cisco SGE2010P provides resilient stacking for up to four units, or 192 ports. A stack of units is managed as a single switch with one web management interface. The Cisco SGE2010P can coexist in a stack with the Cisco SGE2000 and SGE2000P 24-Port Gigabit Switches, and the Cisco SGE2010 48-Port Gigabit Switch, for a maximum of 192 ports in a stack. The stacking capability includes master/backup unit behavior, ring and chain architecture, and hot insertion and removal of units.

Software running on the Cisco SGE2010P interacts with provisioning, management, and security software on both the site's services router and the service provider's equipment. This interaction provides a simple, one-step installation and access to web-administered features for the administrator and users. Simple, affordable network operations throughout the network's lifetime are the result.
