24-Port 10/100 PoE+ Managed Switch
Model: SF300-24PP
The Cisco SF300-24PP is a managed switch designed for small businesses. It has 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and two small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports for fiber connectivity. It also has a web-based user interface for configuration and management.
One of the standout features of the SF300-24PP is its ability to support Power over Ethernet (PoE). This allows the switch to power devices such as IP phones and wireless access points, eliminating the need for separate power supplies. The switch can provide a total of 370 watts of PoE power, which is enough to power all 24 ports at the maximum 15.4 watts per port.
In terms of performance, the SF300-24PP has a switching capacity of 52 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 35.7 million packets per second. It supports both wired and wireless networking, and includes features such as Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritizing network traffic and VLAN support for creating virtual networks.
The web-based user interface of the SF300-24PP is easy to use and includes a range of features for configuration and management. It allows administrators to set up VLANs, configure port settings, and monitor network activity. The interface also includes security features such as access control lists (ACLs) and secure shell (SSH) access.
One of the downsides of the SF300-24PP is that it lacks some of the advanced features found on more expensive managed switches. For example, it does not support stackable configurations or 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. It also lacks some of the advanced security features found on more expensive switches, such as advanced firewall capabilities.
Overall, the Cisco SF300-24PP is a solid choice for small businesses looking for a managed switch with good performance and a range of features. Its support for PoE and easy-to-use web-based interface make it a convenient and cost-effective solution for powering and managing network devices. While it may not have all of the advanced features found on more expensive managed switches, it provides a good balance of performance and value for small businesses.
