The Cisco Catalyst 3200 is a high-performance, managed desktop switch with 16 ports, designed for medium to large networking environments. This model comes from Cisco's well-regarded Catalyst line of switches, known for reliability and extensive feature sets. The WS-C3200B is equipped with a full suite of features aimed at providing network administrators with a flexible, reliable, and scalable solution for managing their network traffic.
One of the notable features of the WS-C3200B is its managed capability, allowing it to be fully configured by network administrators to meet specific security, VLAN, and traffic prioritisation requirements. With its 16 ports, it supports robust connectivity for multiple users or devices, and because it is purposely designed for desktop deployment, it is optimal for space-conscious environments such as small server rooms or office setups.
Security is bolstered by various advanced measures, including options for access control lists (ACLs) and network segmentation via VLANs. These features ensure that only authenticated devices or users can access the network, whilst network administrators can control the flow of data and isolate distinct traffic types across the same physical infrastructure.
The switch supports a range of industry-standard protocols like STP, RSTP, and multiple VLANs, ensuring seamless communication across different devices and subnets within the network. The desktop form factor means it can be easily deployed in tight spaces, offering flexibility for IT environments with limited real estate. Its centralised management support means users can monitor and control the switch remotely for reduced downtime and more effective network administration.
EOL Technology Services specialises in supporting the WS-C3200B with professional services, including technical assistance and replacement parts. Downtime due to obsolete components is minimised, as EOL offers continued access to replacement parts, helping your network stay operational even after official support has ended.
