Network Management and Security Features
The Cisco CBS350-24XS Business 350 Series 24 Ports Managed Switch is designed to provide advanced network management and security features for small to medium-sized businesses. Some of the key features include:
- Network Management: The switch provides a web-based interface and a command-line interface (CLI) for easy configuration and management of the network. The switch also supports SNMP for monitoring and management of the network using network management software.
- VLAN Support: The switch supports VLANs to segment the network and improve security. It also supports VLAN tagging (IEEE 802.1Q) to allow multiple VLANs to be carried over a single physical link.
- Quality of Service (QoS): The switch supports QoS to prioritize different types of traffic, such as voice and video, to ensure that critical applications have sufficient bandwidth.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP): The switch supports LACP to bundle multiple physical links together to form a single logical link, providing increased bandwidth and redundancy.
- Advanced Security: The switch supports advanced security features such as access control lists (ACLs) to control network access, and port security to limit the number of MAC addresses that can be learned on a port.
- Advanced features: The switch supports advanced features such as DHCP snooping and IP Source Guard to prevent DHCP and ARP spoofing, and Loop Guard to prevent loops in the network.
- Monitoring and Troubleshooting: The switch provides extensive monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities, including event logging and error reporting, to help identify and resolve network issues quickly.
- Firmware updates and maintenance: The switch supports firmware updates through the web interface and can also be scheduled for maintenance.
Firmware updates and troubleshooting
Firmware updates for the Cisco CBS350-24XS Business 350 Series switch are important to ensure that the device is running the latest version of software, which can fix bugs and improve performance.
To update the firmware, you can use either the web interface or the CLI. To use the web interface, navigate to the Maintenance menu and select Firmware Upgrade. You will be prompted to upload the firmware file from your computer. Once the file is uploaded, the switch will automatically reboot and install the new firmware.
To use the CLI, connect to the switch using a console cable and a terminal emulation program. Use the command "copy" to upload the firmware file to the switch, and then use the command "upgrade" to install the new firmware.
When troubleshooting the switch, it's important to first check the device's logs for any error messages or warning. The switch's web interface and CLI provides different level of logs that can be used to troubleshoot the device.
Additionally, you can use the monitoring and troubleshooting features in the web interface, such as the System Health and Port Statistics pages, to gather information about the device's status and performance. The CLI also provides various commands to check on the device's status and performance.
It's also important to consult the device's manual and also check the Cisco website for any known bugs and solutions. If the issue persists, it's best to open a support ticket with Cisco to get further assistance.
Monitoring and Troubleshooting
Monitoring and troubleshooting the Cisco CBS350-24XS switch involves using various tools and techniques to ensure that the switch is operating correctly and to quickly identify and resolve any issues that may arise.
One key tool for monitoring the switch is the web interface or CLI. The web interface provides an easy-to-use interface for monitoring the switch's status, viewing statistics, and configuring alarms. The CLI provides a more advanced level of monitoring and troubleshooting options.
The switch also includes a variety of monitoring and troubleshooting features such as:
- Port mirroring: which allows network traffic to be mirrored to another port for analysis.
- SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol, it allows the switch to send traps to a network management system, allowing administrators to monitor the switch's status and performance.
- Logging: The switch can be configured to log various events, such as port status changes, to a syslog server.
- Syslog: A protocol that allows the switch to send log messages to a syslog server for centralized logging and analysis.
In addition, the switch can be configured to send SNMP traps to an SNMP management system, allowing administrators to monitor the switch's status and performance. The switch also supports RMON (Remote Monitoring) which allows network administrators to monitor network traffic, performance and statistics.
If an issue is detected, the first step in troubleshooting should be to check the switch's logs and statistics to identify the problem. The switch's web interface or CLI can be used to view the logs and statistics.
If the issue cannot be resolved using the logs and statistics, more advanced troubleshooting techniques such as packet capturing and protocol analysis may be required. These techniques involve capturing network packets and analyzing them to identify the source of the problem.
It's recommended to have a backup configuration and also keep the device firmware updated to avoid any known bugs and security vulnerabilities. Regular monitoring of the device and having a troubleshooting plan in place can prevent and minimize any down time.

Different Types of Switches
Networking switches vary widely depending on the number of devices they can support, network bandwidth/speed, and form factor. Switches for small offices will have anything between 4 and 8 ports and can fit on a desk. For larger office network implementation, switches may have 24 ports, 48 ports, 96 ports, and 128 ports and are rack-mountable between 1U and 4U. Switches come in different types depending on the network speed and tasks they support. These include 40/100 Gbps, 10 Gigabit (up to 10000 Mbps), Gigabit Ethernet (up to 1000 Mbps), Power over Ethernet, and Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps).
Unmanaged Switches
The unmanaged switches offer fixed configurations on a plug-and-play basis. It is the most basic switch and there are a few choices in the market. These switches are affordable, but the basic features make them inappropriate for enterprise applications.
Managed Switches
The number of features and level of functionality improves with managed switches, making them ideal for enterprise and business applications. These switches are built with the command-line interface for ease of configuration. Equally, they support SNMP agents that come in handy when troubleshooting network issues.
The security on managed switches is better and will protect different types of traffic. Other features include support for virtual LANs, IP routing, and quality of service settings. Managed switches are more expensive compared to all other types of switches.
Smart Switches
Smart switches refer to switches that possess more features than those unmanaged switches but do not have the full features of managed switches. Smart switches are more cost-effective than managed switches.
Some of the limitations of the smart switches are a lack of telnet access support, Web GUIs, and a lack of many features for VLANs. They are affordable compared to a fully managed switch and are suitable for a smaller computer network.
Modular Switches
Modular switches allow the addition of expansion modules as the network expands. The expansion modules allow for more networked devices but are application-specific. They may include wireless access points, firewalls, or network analysis tools. The flexibility of a modular networking switch comes at a higher cost.
