The Cisco Catalyst 3550-48 EMI is a fully managed 48-port switch ideal for desktop deployments. Designed for small to mid-sized enterprises, this switch supports high-performance and scalability, making it suitable for growing networks. All 48 ports are 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, providing fast and stable connectivity for wired devices in an office or operational environment.
This model features the Enhanced Multilayer Image (EMI), which offers advanced Layer 3 capabilities, including IP routing. Routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF, and IGRP are supported, allowing the switch to manage complex network traffic efficiently. Additionally, QoS (Quality of Service) features help provide prioritised traffic management, ensuring important data such as voice or video transmissions are given precedence.
Security is another focus of the Cisco Catalyst 3550-48 EMI, which supports features like Access Control Lists (ACLs) for restricting and managing network access. It also provides VLAN support, allowing network segmentation into smaller, more secure and efficient parts. The switch can handle up to 256 VLANs, maximizing flexibility for network administrators.
With IGMP snooping, this switch can limit unnecessary network bandwidth consumption by managing multicast traffic. For redundancy and uptime, it supports Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), which help prevent network loops and ensure smoother operations in the case of link failure.
The Cisco Catalyst 3550-48 EMI is also equipped with management features accessible through a command-line interface (CLI), console access, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support, making it easy to configure, maintain, and monitor. Its compact desktop design is ideal for office environments.
