Cisco CBS350 Switches Key Features

The licensed Cisco 350 Business Series (CBS350) switches provide the advanced feature sets that growing businesses need, and that high-bandwidth applications and technologies require. These licensed switches offer the following benefits.

Ease of management and deployment

The Cisco 350 Business Series switches are designed to be easy to use and manage by business customers or service partners, including the following features:

• Cisco Business Dashboard is designed to manage Cisco Business switches, routers, and wireless access points. Cisco Business Dashboard simplifies the traditional challenges of deploying and managing business networks while automating the deployment, monitoring, and management of the network lifecycle. The Cisco Business 350 Series switches support an embedded probe for the Cisco Business Dashboard, eliminating the need to run a separate on-premises hardware or virtual machine.
• The Cisco Network Plug and Play solution provides a simple, secure, integrated and integrated offering to easily provision new devices or provide updates to an existing network. This solution provides a unified approach to delivering Cisco routers, switches, and wireless devices with a near-zero-touch deployment experience.
• Intuitive user interfaces reduce the time required to deploy, troubleshoot and manage the network, allowing you to support complex capabilities without increasing IT headcount.
• The switches also support text view, a full command-line interface (CLI) option for partners who prefer it.
• Support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) lets you remotely set up and manage your switches and other Cisco devices from a network management station, improving IT workflows and mass configurations.

Power over Ethernet

Cisco Business 350 Series switches are available with up to 48 Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports. This capability simplifies the deployment of advanced technology such as IP telephony, wireless and IP surveillance by enabling connection and powering of network endpoints via a single Ethernet cable. Without the need to install a separate power supply for IP phones or wireless access points, you can take advantage of advanced communication technologies faster and at a lower cost. The models support 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE+. 60W PoE is also supported on select switches to power high-performance wireless access points and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

IPv6 support

As the IP address scheme evolves to accommodate an ever-increasing number of network devices, Cisco’s Business 350 Series switches can support the transition to the next generation of networking. These switches still support the previous generation of IPv4, allowing you to progress to the new IPv6 standard at your own pace. It also helps you ensure that your current network will continue to support your business plans in the future. Cisco 350 Series Business Switches have successfully completed rigorous IPv6 testing and received USGv6 and IPv6 Gold certification.

High reliability and flexibility

In a growing business where 24/7 availability is critical, you need to ensure business continuity and that employees can always access the data and resources they need. Cisco’s Business 350 Series switches support dual images, allowing you to perform software upgrades without having to take the network offline or worry about the network going down during the upgrade.

Strong security

The licensed Cisco Business 350 Series (CBS350) switches provide the advanced security features you need to protect your business data and keep unauthorized users out of your network:

• Support for advanced network security programs such as IEEE 802.1X and port security severely restricts access to certain parts of your network. Web-based authentication provides a consistent interface for authenticating a variety of host devices and operating systems, without the complexity of deploying IEEE 802.1X clients on each endpoint.
• Advanced defense mechanisms, including dynamic Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) inspection, IP Source Guard, and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), detect and block deliberate network attacks. The combination of these protocols is also called IP-MAC port binding (IPMB).
• IPv6 First Hop Security extends advanced threat protection to IPv6. This comprehensive security suite includes ND inspection, RA guard, DHCPv6 guard, and binding neighbor integrity checking, providing unparalleled protection against a wide range of address spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks on IPv6 networks.
