Description
Introduction to the Managed Switch
The SX550X-16FT-K9-NA Cisco 550X Series 16-port managed switch is a cost-effective, high-performance solution for small and medium-sized businesses. It supports 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports with full duplex capability and wire-speed performance. It also includes advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS), Access Control Lists (ACLs), and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for increased network efficiency and security.
The switch also has a fanless design, making it a quiet and energy-efficient option for small businesses. It also supports Cisco EnergyWise technology, which helps to reduce energy consumption and costs.
The SX550X-16FT-K9-NA also comes with a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that allows for easy configuration and management of the switch. Additionally, it supports Cisco’s Smartports, which allows for the configuration of ports based on the type of device connected, making it easy to set up and configure devices such as IP phones, cameras, and wireless access points.
The switch also supports Cisco’s StackWise technology, which allows multiple switches to be connected together and managed as a single entity, providing increased scalability and flexibility for growing networks.
Network Management and Security Features
The SX550X-16FT-K9-NA Cisco 550X Series 16-port managed switch offers a variety of network management and security features to help keep your network secure and running smoothly:
- Quality of Service (QoS): Allows for the prioritization of different types of network traffic to ensure optimal performance of critical applications.
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): Allows for the configuration of security policies to control access to the network based on IP addresses, ports, and protocols.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): Allows for the configuration of link aggregation to increase bandwidth and provide redundancy.
- Cisco EnergyWise: A technology that helps to reduce energy consumption and costs by monitoring and controlling energy usage of network devices.
- Cisco Smartports: Allows for the configuration of ports based on the type of device connected, making it easy to set up and configure devices such as IP phones, cameras, and wireless access points.
- Cisco StackWise Technology: Allows multiple switches to be connected together and managed as a single entity, providing increased scalability and flexibility for growing networks
- Secure Shell (SSH) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support: Allows for secure remote management and monitoring of the switch.
- IEEE 802.1X network login: provides network login and access control based on the identity of the user or device.
- Web-based graphical user interface (GUI): allows for easy configuration and management of the switch.
- DHCP Server/Client: Allows DHCP server functionality to assign IP addresses to devices on the network and DHCP client functionality to obtain IP addresses from a DHCP server
These features help to ensure that your network is secure, efficient, and easy to manage, allowing you to focus on running your business.
Power Options and Redundancy
The SX550X-16FT-K9-NA Cisco 550X Series 16-port managed switch offers a variety of power options and redundancy features to ensure that your network stays up and running even in the event of a power failure:
- External Power Supply: The switch is powered by an external power supply, which can be connected to an AC power outlet.
- Redundant Power Supply (RPS) Support: The switch supports the use of an RPS, which can provide redundant power in the event of a power failure. This helps to ensure that the switch continues to operate even if the primary power supply fails.
- Power Over Ethernet (PoE): The switch supports PoE, which allows it to power devices such as IP phones, cameras, and wireless access points over the Ethernet cable.
- Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE): The switch supports EEE, which reduces power consumption during periods of low network activity, helping to reduce energy costs.
- Cisco EnergyWise: A technology that helps to reduce energy consumption and costs by monitoring and controlling energy usage of network devices.
- Fanless Design: The switch has a fanless design, making it a quiet and energy-efficient option.
By providing a variety of power options and redundancy features, the SX550X-16FT-K9-NA Cisco 550X Series 16-port managed switch helps to ensure that your network stays up and running, even in the event of a power failure. This helps to minimize downtime and keep your business running smoothly.
