The Cisco Catalyst 3550-12G (WS-C3550G-12G) is a reliable, managed switch that offers advanced Layer 3 switching, suitable for businesses looking to optimise network traffic. This specific model includes 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports, designed for high-speed connections, enhancing the overall performance of your local area network. Additionally, it features 2 additional Gigabit SFP expansion ports, providing flexibility for network growth and integration with fibre-based networks.
Its desktop form factor makes it suitable for smaller network environments or desktop deployment, where space efficiency is a priority. The managed capabilities of this switch make it an excellent choice for more complex network configurations, allowing for the precise management of data traffic, security policies, and quality of service (QoS) settings. These features ensure that all types of traffic, such as voice, video, and data, are handled appropriately and without affecting each other’s performance.
The Cisco Catalyst 3550-12G also includes hardware-based IP routing protocols like RIP and OSPF, making it ideal for networks that need robust routing capabilities at the switch level. Its support for Layer 3 features allows for efficient routing between VLANs, providing a more efficient and scalable network structure. Furthermore, built-in security features such as access control lists (ACLs) and enhanced traffic management ensure that network traffic is not only efficient but also secure.
In addition to its technical specifications, the switch is also equipped with quality of service (QoS) functionalities, ensuring that higher-priority data packets like voice and video are handled promptly. The Cisco Catalyst 3550-12G is an ideal option for businesses requiring a flexible, managed switching solution with added security for critical operations.
