The Cisco Catalyst 3550-24 EMI is a highly capable switch designed for medium to large-sized networks. It features 24 Fast Ethernet ports, allowing for a robust network backbone supporting a range of network infrastructures. This switch works efficiently in managed environments, meaning it provides advanced features such as VLAN support, QoS capabilities, and Layer 3 routing for high-performance traffic management.
The EMI, or Enhanced Multilayer Image, extends the switch’s functionality, offering improved routing features compared to the Standard Multilayer Image (SMI). With support for advanced routing protocols such as Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), the switch is well-suited for complex networks where flexibility and scalability are essential.
This 24-port managed switch is compact and ideal for desktop or rack-mount setups, making it versatile enough for small office environments or server rooms. Additionally, it includes multilayer switching technology for intelligent and efficient forwarding of data packets based on Layer 2, 3, or 4 information. This ensures the prioritisation and management of network traffic even in more demanding network setups.
The switch also integrates Gigabit Ethernet uplinks, further facilitating high-speed communication across devices in the network. These high-bandwidth uplinks are particularly useful when connecting this switch to servers or other network components of critical importance. Lastly, the Cisco Catalyst 3550-24 EMI offers full support for SNMP, allowing for easy network management through monitoring and configuration tools.
