Cisco 27.25W 24 Port PoE 2x1G Smart Network Switch, CBS250-24T-4X

The Cisco Business CBS250-24T-4X is designed for organizations that require reliable Gigabit access switching with high-speed 10G uplinks for aggregation. It provides 24 × Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing connectivity for end devices such as PCs, printers, and IP phones (via separate PoE switches if needed), while relying on uplinks for high-performance backbone traffic.

For uplink and aggregation, it includes 4 × 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports, enabling fiber-based connections to core switches, servers, or distribution layers. This ensures low-latency, high-bandwidth communication across the network.

The switch supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 Lite functionality, including VLAN segmentation, inter-VLAN routing (static routing), Link Aggregation (LACP), IGMP snooping, and Quality of Service (QoS). These features help improve traffic prioritization for voice, video, and data-heavy applications.

On the security side, it provides 802.1X authentication, Access Control Lists (ACLs), DHCP snooping, and secure management protocols (SSH/HTTPS), helping protect the network from unauthorized access and attacks.
