Cisco SG350X-24-K9-NA 24 Ports Managed Layer 3 Rack Mountable Switch

Ports: 24

The Cisco SG350X-24-K9-NA Managed Switch is equipped with 24 ports, making it an ideal choice for small to medium-sized businesses that require a reliable and high-performance networking solution. These ports provide the necessary connectivity for connecting various devices, such as computers, servers, printers, and IP phones, to the network.

Increased Flexibility

With 24 ports, this managed switch offers increased flexibility in terms of network expansion. It allows businesses to easily add new devices to the network without the need for additional equipment or infrastructure. This flexibility is especially beneficial for growing businesses that need to adapt to changing requirements and accommodate future expansion.

Furthermore, the multiple ports enable businesses to segregate and organize their network into different VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks). VLANs help in improving network performance and security by isolating traffic and allowing better control over network access.

Improved Network Performance

The 24 ports of the Cisco SG350X-24-K9-NA ensure optimal network performance by providing sufficient bandwidth for data transmission. This is particularly important in today's data-driven business environment where large amounts of data need to be transferred quickly and efficiently.

The switch supports Gigabit Ethernet, which offers data transfer speeds of up to 1000 Mbps. This high-speed connectivity allows for seamless data transfer and ensures that network-intensive tasks, such as file sharing, video conferencing, and multimedia streaming, can be carried out without any latency or interruptions.

Enhanced Productivity

The availability of 24 ports on this managed switch promotes enhanced productivity within the organization. With more ports, employees can easily connect their devices to the network without worrying about limited connectivity options. This enables them to work efficiently and collaborate seamlessly, leading to improved overall productivity.

Additionally, the switch supports advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic prioritization. These features allow businesses to prioritize critical network traffic, such as voice and video data, over less time-sensitive traffic, ensuring uninterrupted communication and smooth operation of real-time applications.

Scalability

The 24 ports of this managed switch provide scalability for businesses. As the organization grows and the network requirements increase, the switch can accommodate additional devices and support the expanding network infrastructure. This eliminates the need for frequent equipment upgrades or replacements, saving both time and money.

Moreover, the switch offers support for Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) which allows multiple ports to be combined into a single logical link. This Link Aggregation provides increased bandwidth and redundancy, enhancing network reliability and performance.

Layer: 3

The Cisco SG350X-24-K9-NA Managed Switch operates at Layer 3 of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model, making it a valuable asset for businesses that require advanced routing capabilities and efficient management of their network resources.

Advanced Routing Capabilities

As a Layer 3 switch, the Cisco SG350X-24-K9-NA offers advanced routing capabilities that allow businesses to create and manage multiple subnets within their network. This enables efficient traffic routing and segmentation, ensuring optimal performance and security.

The switch supports static routing, dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and RIP (Routing Information Protocol), and inter-VLAN routing. These routing capabilities enable businesses to create a scalable and efficient network infrastructure that can adapt to their specific requirements.

Improved Network Efficiency

The Layer 3 functionality of this switch improves network efficiency by reducing network congestion and optimizing data flow. It allows for intelligent traffic routing based on factors such as source and destination IP addresses, resulting in faster and more efficient data transmission.

Furthermore, the switch supports features like Access Control Lists (ACLs) which provide granular control over network traffic by allowing or denying specific types of traffic based on predefined rules. This helps in preventing unauthorized access and securing the network from potential threats.

Enhanced Network Segmentation

Layer 3 switches enable businesses to create multiple VLANs and subnets, facilitating network segmentation. Network segmentation improves security by isolating sensitive data or resources from the rest of the network. It also enhances network performance by reducing broadcast traffic and optimizing resource allocation.

The Cisco SG350X-24-K9-NA Managed Switch supports up to 4096 VLANs, allowing businesses to create separate virtual networks for different departments, projects, or user groups. This segregation enhances data security, simplifies network management, and improves overall network performance.

Mounting: Rack Mountable

The Cisco SG350X-24-K9-NA Managed Switch comes with a rack-mountable design, making it easy to install and integrate into existing network infrastructure. This feature offers several benefits and advantages for businesses that require efficient space utilization and centralized management of their networking equipment.

Space Optimization

Rack-mountable switches are designed to be installed in standard equipment racks, allowing businesses to maximize their available space. By mounting the switch in a rack, it can be neatly organized alongside other networking equipment like servers, patch panels, and power distribution units.

This organized setup not only saves valuable floor space but also simplifies cable management. It eliminates clutter and reduces the risk of cable damage or accidental disconnections, resulting in a cleaner and more efficient network environment.

Centralized Management

Rack-mounted switches are typically connected to a central patch panel, which serves as a distribution point for network connections. This centralized management simplifies the administration and maintenance of the network infrastructure.

With the Cisco SG350X-24-K9-NA being rack-mountable, businesses can easily access and manage the switch from a central location. This makes it convenient for IT administrators to monitor and troubleshoot network issues, perform configuration changes, or carry out routine maintenance tasks.

Scalability and Expandability

The rack-mountable design of this switch ensures scalability and expandability for businesses. As the network grows and additional switches or equipment are required, they can be easily added to the existing rack setup without the need for additional space or infrastructure.

This scalability allows businesses to adapt to changing requirements and future expansion without disrupting the existing network infrastructure. It also simplifies future upgrades or replacements, as new equipment can be seamlessly integrated into the existing rack setup.

Improved Airflow and Cooling

Rack-mountable switches are designed to facilitate proper airflow and cooling within the rack enclosure. This is achieved through strategically placed vents and fans that ensure adequate ventilation and prevent overheating of networking equipment.

The Cisco SG350X-24-K9-NA Managed Switch features a fanless design, ensuring silent operation while maintaining optimal temperature conditions. It also includes energy-efficient components that help in reducing power consumption, contributing to a greener and more sustainable networking environment.
