Key Features and Benefits
-
Enterprise-Grade Performance - Take advantage of 20 Gbps of switching and wire-speed forwarding up to 14.88 Mpps of data transfer, which is needed to perform as reliably and with low latency as the enterprise needs.
-
Simplified Management - Control your network by using a simple web interface, CLI, SNMP, or Cisco Business Dashboard. The integration of mobile apps allows IT teams that are otherwise constrained by resources to make the deployment and monitoring processes simple.
-
Secure Networking: Built-in Layer 3 capabilities such as VLAN segmentation, IPv6 first-hop security, and ACL ensure that critical business traffic is secure and enforces access policy.
-
Quality operation - Fanless design and low-power consumption (about 10.6 W) minimizes operational costs and noise, which makes the design best suited to offices and branch locations.
-
Small size, Rugged Design - Small size, rack-mount capability and external power: Our compact size makes performance in our different deployment environments consistent and predictable.
