General Information about this Cisco WS-C3560C-12PC-S
Manufacturer: Cisco
Model Number or SKU# WS-C3560C-12PC-S
Product Line: Catalyst
Product Series: 3560-C
Product Name: Catalyst WS-C3560C-12PC-S Managed Ethernet Switch
Product Type: Ethernet Switch
The WS-C3560C-12PC-S Cisco Catalyst 12 Ports Managed Switch is designed with high availability and redundancy options in mind to help ensure that the network remains operational even in the event of a failure. Some of the key features that contribute to this include:
Redundant Power Supply: The switch supports the use of a redundant power supply, which can be used to provide a backup power source in case the primary power source fails.
StackWise Plus Technology: The switch supports StackWise Plus technology which allows multiple switches to be connected together and managed as a single logical unit. This provides increased scalability and resiliency, as well as allowing for the use of a Virtual Switching System (VSS) for active/active redundancy.
Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP): The switch supports Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), which is a Cisco proprietary protocol that allows two or more routers to work together to present the appearance of a single virtual router to the hosts on a LAN. This can provide redundancy in the event of a failure of one of the routers.
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): The switch supports Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) which allows multiple physical links to be bundled together to form a single logical link. This can provide increased bandwidth and redundancy in case of a failure of one of the links.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP): The switch supports Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) which allows multiple switches to be connected together and managed as a single logical unit. This can provide redundancy in the event of a failure of one of the switches.
All those features provide a strong layer of high availability and redundancy options to the WS-C3560C-12PC-S Cisco Catalyst 12 Ports Managed Switch and help to ensure that the network remains operational even in the event of a failure, and minimize the risk of network downtime.
