Ports

The Power of 48 Ports

The Cisco CBS220-48T-4G Ethernet Switch offers an impressive 48 ports, making it an ideal choice for businesses and organizations that require a high-density network switch. With 48 ports available, users can connect multiple devices to the switch, such as computers, printers, servers, and more.

Having 48 ports allows for efficient network management and eliminates the need for additional switches or hubs. This means that users can easily expand their network without worrying about running out of ports. Whether you are setting up a small office network or a large enterprise network, the CBS220-48T-4G has you covered.

Flexibility and Scalability

With 48 ports at your disposal, you have the flexibility to connect various devices and expand your network as needed. This switch provides the scalability required to support growing businesses, allowing you to easily add new devices without compromising network performance.

Moreover, the CBS220-48T-4G features auto-negotiation capabilities, which means that it can automatically detect the speed and duplex mode of connected devices. This enables seamless communication between different devices, ensuring optimal performance and eliminating potential bottlenecks.

Enhanced Performance

The 48 ports on the Cisco CBS220-48T-4G Ethernet Switch deliver enhanced performance by providing high-speed connectivity for all connected devices. Whether you are transferring large files, streaming videos, or engaging in video conferencing, you can count on this switch to handle the bandwidth requirements without any issues.

In addition to high-speed connectivity, each port on the CBS220-48T-4G supports Quality of Service (QoS) features. This allows you to prioritize certain types of network traffic, ensuring that critical applications or services receive the necessary bandwidth and resources. By prioritizing traffic, you can optimize network performance and guarantee a consistent user experience.

Layer

The Power of Layer 2

The Cisco CBS220-48T-4G Ethernet Switch operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model, which is essential for efficient network communication. Layer 2 switches, also known as data link layer switches, use MAC addresses to forward data between devices within a local area network (LAN).

By operating at Layer 2, the CBS220-48T-4G offers several benefits to users. Firstly, it provides faster data transfer rates compared to Layer 1 switches. This is because Layer 2 switches can process data at the MAC address level, allowing for more efficient forwarding and switching of packets.

Improved Network Security

Layer 2 switches, like the CBS220-48T-4G, offer enhanced network security features. With support for features such as VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), users can segment their network into logical groups, isolating sensitive or critical data from other parts of the network.

In addition to VLANs, the CBS220-48T-4G supports advanced security protocols such as MAC address filtering and port security. MAC address filtering allows you to control which devices can access the network based on their MAC addresses, providing an additional layer of authentication.

Simplified Network Management

Operating at Layer 2 simplifies network management by reducing complexity. With Layer 2 switches, you don't need to worry about routing protocols or complex configurations typically associated with Layer 3 switches.

The Cisco CBS220-48T-4G Ethernet Switch offers a user-friendly web-based interface and command-line interface (CLI) for easy configuration and management. This allows network administrators to quickly set up the switch, monitor network traffic, and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.

Efficient Network Administration

The manageability of the Cisco CBS220-48T-4G Ethernet Switch makes it an excellent choice for businesses and organizations that require efficient network administration. With a manageable switch, network administrators have full control over the network, enabling them to optimize performance, security, and reliability.

The CBS220-48T-4G offers a range of management features, including SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) support, which allows for centralized monitoring and management of the switch. SNMP enables real-time monitoring of network performance metrics, such as bandwidth utilization, packet loss, and error rates.

Enhanced Troubleshooting

In the event of network issues or failures, the manageability of the CBS220-48T-4G simplifies troubleshooting. Network administrators can quickly identify and isolate problems using diagnostic tools and logs provided by the switch.

Furthermore, the switch supports features such as port mirroring, which allows administrators to capture and analyze network traffic for troubleshooting purposes. This enables proactive monitoring and helps identify potential bottlenecks or security threats before they impact network performance.

Configuration Flexibility

The Cisco CBS220-48T-4G Ethernet Switch offers configuration flexibility to meet the specific needs of different networks. Administrators can configure VLANs, QoS settings, link aggregation, and other advanced features based on their requirements.

Additionally, the CBS220-48T-4G supports remote management capabilities, allowing administrators to configure and monitor the switch from any location. This is particularly beneficial for businesses with multiple branches or remote offices, as it eliminates the need for physical access to the switch for management tasks.

SFP Ports

Enhanced Connectivity Options

The Cisco CBS220-48T-4G Ethernet Switch comes equipped with four SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports. These SFP ports provide enhanced connectivity options, allowing users to connect to other network devices using fiber optic cables.

By incorporating SFP ports, the CBS220-48T-4G offers increased flexibility and scalability. Fiber optic connections provide higher bandwidth and longer transmission distances compared to traditional copper-based Ethernet connections. This makes them ideal for connecting devices in different buildings or locations.

Improved Network Reliability

The use of fiber optic connections enhances network reliability by minimizing signal degradation and electromagnetic interference. Fiber optic cables are immune to electromagnetic interference, making them less susceptible to signal loss or disruptions caused by nearby electrical equipment.

In addition, fiber optic connections provide greater resistance to environmental factors such as moisture, temperature fluctuations, and corrosion. This makes them suitable for use in harsh environments where traditional copper-based connections may not perform reliably.

Longer Transmission Distances

SFP ports on the CBS220-48T-4G support long-distance transmission, enabling users to connect devices that are located far apart without sacrificing network performance. Fiber optic cables can transmit data over much greater distances compared to copper-based Ethernet cables.

Whether you need to connect devices in separate buildings or extend your network to remote locations, the SFP ports on the CBS220-48T-4G have you covered. This feature allows for flexible network deployment and eliminates the limitations imposed by physical distance.
