- 24 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports and 2 SFP uplink ports for high-speed connectivity
- Support for advanced security features such as access control lists (ACLs), IPv6 and IPv4 routing, and Quality of Service (QoS)
- Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) to help reduce power consumption
- Stackable design for easy expansion and management of multiple switches
- Cisco IOS Software for easy configuration and management
- Advanced troubleshooting features such as Cisco Embedded Event Manager (EEM) and Smart Call Home for proactive monitoring and maintenance
- Backward compatibility with existing Cisco Catalyst switches for easy integration into existing networks
- Compact form factor, ideal for space-constrained environments
- Support for Cisco EnergyWise technology, which helps reduce energy consumption and costs
- Support for Cisco StackPower, which allows power sharing across multiple switches for increased redundancy and reliability.
Advanced Security and Quality
The WS-C2822-EN Cisco Catalyst Ethernet switch is a high-performance, enterprise-grade switch that offers advanced security and quality features to ensure the integrity and reliability of network operations.
Security features include:
- IEEE 802.1X network login for user authentication
- Access Control Lists (ACLs) to restrict access to specific network resources
- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snooping to prevent unauthorized DHCP servers from assigning IP addresses
- Port security to limit the number of MAC addresses that can be learned on a specific port
- Storm control to prevent network flooding
- Support for Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for secure remote management
Quality of service (QoS) features include:
- Class of Service (CoS) to prioritize different types of traffic
- Quality of Service (QoS) to ensure that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth
- Traffic shaping to control the rate of traffic flow
- Bandwidth management to allocate resources to specific applications or users
Additionally, the WS-C2822-EN has a high availability design, with features such as Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to provide redundancy and failover capabilities. It also has a compact form factor and can be easily mounted in a rack, making it ideal for data center or enterprise environments.
