General Information about this Cisco WS-C3750X-24P-S
Manufacturer: Cisco
Model Number or SKU# WS-C3750X-24P-S
Product Line Catalyst
Product Series 3750-X
Product Type: Ethernet Switch
The WS-C3750X-24P-S is a fixed-configuration, stackable enterprise-level switch that belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 3750-X series. It has 24 Ethernet 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports, as well as a USB port for external storage or console access. The switch supports Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), which allows you to power devices such as phones, cameras, and access points over the Ethernet cables.
As a managed switch, the Model allows you to configure and manage various aspects of its operation using a command-line interface (CLI) or a web-based graphical user interface (GUI). You can set up VLANs, configure Quality of Service (QoS) for voice and video traffic, and use features such as Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to improve network resiliency.
This Item is a Layer 3 switch, which means it can perform advanced routing functions in addition to basic switching. This can be useful if you need to segment your network into different subnets, or if you want to use features such as Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) or Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).
High Performance and Reliability
This Model is a high-performance and reliable switch that is designed for use in enterprise networks. It is capable of delivering wire-speed switching performance, which means that it can forward packets at the maximum rate supported by the port's networking interface. The switch also has a number of features that help to improve its reliability, such as redundant power supplies and fans, as well as support for Cisco's StackWise Plus technology, which allows the switch to be used in a stack configuration to provide increased availability and scalability.
In terms of power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, the WS-C3750X-24P-S is equipped with 24 PoE+ ports, which can deliver up to 30 watts of power per port. This makes it ideal for powering devices such as IP phones and wireless access points, which can be connected directly to the switch and receive power over the Ethernet cable.
Security and Access Control of Layer 2 Switch
The WS-C3750X-24P-S Cisco Catalyst switch has several security and access control features to help protect the network. These include:
Access control lists (ACLs) to control network access and traffic flow
Port security to limit the number of MAC addresses allowed on a port
IEEE 802.1X network login for authenticated network access
SSH and SSL for secure management access
TACACS+ and RADIUS for centralized authentication and authorization of network devices
DHCP snooping to prevent malicious DHCP servers from providing false IP addresses
IP source guard to prevent IP spoofing attacks
Private VLANs to segment the network and limit communication between hosts
It also has advanced security feature such as :
Cisco TrustSec for integrated security at the edge
Flexible NetFlow for network visibility and security analysis
Cisco Identity Services Engine for network access control
It is important to note that the switch must be configured and maintained properly to ensure that these security features are effective.
