PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Cisco® Catalyst® 2950SX48, 2950T-48, 2950SX-24, 2950-24, and
2950-12 switches, members of the Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series, are
standalone, fixed-configuration, managed 10/100 Mbps switches
providing basic workgroup connectivity for small to midsize
networks. These wire-speed desktop switches come with Standard Image
software features and offer Cisco IOS® Software functions for basic
data, voice, and video services at the edge of the network.
Embedded in all Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series switches is the Cisco
Device Manager software, which allows users to easily configure and
monitor the switch using a standard Web browser, eliminating the
need for more complex terminal emulation programs and knowledge of
the command-line interface (CLI). Customers can easily initialize
the switch with web-based Cisco Express Setup, without using the
CLI. In addition, with Cisco Network Assistant, a standalone network
management software, customers can simultaneously configure and
troubleshoot multiple Cisco Catalyst desktop switches. Cisco Device
Manager, Cisco Express Setup, and Cisco Network Assistant reduce the
cost of deployment by enabling less-skilled personnel to set up
switches quickly. Furthermore, Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series switches
provide extensive management tools using Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) network management platforms such as CiscoWorks.
This product line offers two distinct sets of software features and
a range of configurations to allow small, midsize, and enterprise
branch offices to select the right combination for the network edge.
For networks that require additional security, advanced quality of
service (QoS), and high availability, Enhanced Image software
delivers intelligent services such as rate limiting and security
filtering for deployment at the network edge.
The Cisco Catalyst 2950SX-48, 2950T-48, 2950SX-24, 2950-24 and
2950-12 switches (Figures 1-5) are available only with the Standard
Image (SI) software for the Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series. They cannot
be upgraded to the Enhanced Image (EI) software.

These switches provide customers with many connectivity and
port-density options. The Cisco Catalyst 2950-12 and Cisco Catalyst
2950-24 switches provide 12 and 24 10/100 Mbps ports, respectively,
for edge connectivity. Depending on port-density requirements,
customers with gigabit fiber uplink connectivity needs can choose
between the Cisco Catalyst 2950SX-24 Switch, which provides 24
10/100 Mbps ports and 2 integrated 1000BASE-SX ports, and the Cisco
Catalyst 2950SX-48 Switch, which provides 48 10/100 Mbps ports and 2
integrated 1000BASE-SX ports.
With these integrated ports, customers get an extremely
cost-effective solution for delivering gigabit speeds using fiber.
These switches are ideal for education and government segments where
fiber uplinks are required. For customers that do not need fiber
connectivity, the Cisco Catalyst 2950T-48 Switch with 48 10/100 Mbps
ports and two integrated 10/100/1000 BASE-T ports is a
cost-effective alternative. The 10/100/1000 BASE-T ports can be used
for server connectivity or for uplink connectivity to distribution
or other switches. Dual ports also provide redundancy and increased
availability, as well as provide a cost-effective means for
cascading switches and managing them as a cluster. The Cisco
Catalyst 2950 Series Intelligent Ethernet switches with Enhanced
Image software are fixed-configuration models that bring intelligent
services, such as advanced QoS, enhanced security, and high
availability to the network edge while maintaining the simplicity of
traditional LAN switching. Combining a Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series
Intelligent Ethernet Switch with a Cisco Catalyst 3550 Series Switch
enables IP routing from the edge to the core of the network.
NETWORK AVAILABILITY WITH WIRE-SPEED PERFORMANCE IN CONNECTING END
STATIONS TO THE LAN
With a switching fabric of 13.6 Gbps and a maximum forwarding
bandwidth of 13.6 Gbps, Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series switches deliver
wire-speed performance on all ports in connecting end stations and
users to the company LAN. Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series switches with
basic services support performance-boosting features such as Cisco
Fast EtherChannel® to provide high-performance bandwidth between
Cisco Catalyst switches, routers, and servers.
NETWORK SECURITY
Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series switches offer enhanced data security
through a wide range of security features. These features allow
customers to provide network security based on users or MAC
addresses. The security enhancements are available free by
downloading the latest software for the Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series
switches.
Secure Shell version 2 (SSHv2) protects information from being
eavesdropped or being tampered with by encrypting information being
passed on the network, thereby guarding administrative information.
Private VLAN Edge isolates ports on a switch, ensuring that traffic
travels directly from the entry point to the aggregation device
through a virtual path and cannot be directed to another port. In
addition, for authentication of users with a TACACS+ or a RADIUS
server, 802.1x provides port-level security. Simple Network
Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) (non-cryptographic) monitors
and controls network devices as well as manages configurations,
performance, collection of statistics, and security.
For authentication of users with a Terminal Access Controller Access
Control System (TACACS+) or RADIUS server, 802.1x provides
port-level security. 802.1x, in conjunction with a RADIUS server,
allows for dynamic port-based user authentication. 802.1x-based user
authentication can be extended to dynamically assign a VLAN based on
a specific user, regardless of where they connect on the network.
With 802.1x with Guest VLAN, guests are allowed access to the
Internet via the Guest VLAN but cannot access the customer's
internal network. This intelligent adaptability allows IT
departments to offer greater flexibility and mobility to their
stratified user populations. By combining access control and user
profiles with secure network connectivity, services, and
applications, enterprises can more effectively manage user mobility
and drastically reduce the overhead associated with granting and
managing access to network resources.
With the Cisco Catalyst 2950SX-48, 2950T-48, 2950SX-24, 2950-24, and
2950-12 switches, network managers can make ports and consoles
highly secure. MAC-address-based port-level security prevents
unauthorized stations from accessing the switch. Multilevel access
security on the switch console and the Web management interface
prevents unauthorized users from accessing or altering switch
configurations and can be implemented using an internal user
database on each switch or a centrally administered TACACS+ or
RADIUS server. Using 802.1x in conjunction with a RADIUS server
allows dynamic port-based user authentication. In addition, 802.1x
can coexist with port security on a per-port basis. Security
features can be deployed using Cisco Network Assistant software
security wizards, which ease the deployment of security features
that restrict user access to a server or portion of the network or
restrict the applications used in certain areas of the network.
NETWORK CONTROL
Cisco Catalyst 2950SX-48, 2950T-48, 2950SX-24, 2950-24, and 2950-12
switches deliver LAN-edge QoS, supporting two modes of
reclassification. One mode-based on the IEEE 802.1p standard-honors
the class-of-service (CoS) value at the ingress point and assigns
the packet to the appropriate queue. In the second mode, packets can
be reclassified based on a default CoS value assigned to the ingress
port by the network administrator. In the case of frames that arrive
without a CoS value (such as untagged frames), these Cisco Catalyst
2950 Series switches support classification based on a default CoS
value per port assigned by the network administrator. After the
frames have been classified or reclassified using one of the above
modes, they are assigned to the appropriate queue at the egress.
Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series switches support four egress queues,
which allow the network administrator to be more discriminating and
granular in assigning priorities for the various applications on the
LAN. Strict Priority Scheduling configuration ensures that
time-sensitive applications, such as voice, always follow an
expedited path through the switch fabric. Weighted Round Robin (WRR)
scheduling, another significant enhancement, ensures that
lower-priority traffic receives attention without comprising the
priority settings administered by a network manager. These features
allow network administrators to prioritize mission-critical,
time-sensitive traffic, such as voice (IP telephony traffic),
enterprise resource planning (Oracle, SAP, etc.), and
computer-assisted design and manufacturing, over less time-sensitive
applications such as FTP or e-mail (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).
NETWORK AVAILABILITY
To provide efficient use of resources for bandwidth-hungry
applications like multicasts, Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series switches
support Internet Group Management Protocol Version 3 (IGMPv3)
snooping in hardware. Through the support and configuration of IGMP
snooping through the Cisco Network Assistant software, these Cisco
Catalyst 2950 Series switches deliver outstanding performance and
ease of use in administering and managing multicast applications on
the LAN.
The IGMPv3 snooping feature allows the switch to "listen in" on the
IGMP conversation between hosts and routers. When a switch hears an
IGMP join request from a host for a given multicast group, the
switch adds the host's port number to the group destination address
list for that group. And when the switch hears an IGMP leave
request, it removes the host's port from the content-addressable
memory (CAM) table entry.
Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) is designed for applications using
wide-scale deployment of multicast traffic across an Ethernet
ring-based service provider network (for example, the broadcast of
multiple television channels over a service-provider network). MVR
allows a subscriber on a port to subscribe and unsubscribe to a
multicast stream on the networkwide multicast VLAN.
Per VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+) allows users to implement
redundant uplinks while also distributing traffic loads across
multiple links. This is not possible with standard Spanning Tree
Protocol implementations. Cisco UplinkFast technology ensures
immediate transfer to the secondary uplink, much better than the
traditional 30- to 60-second convergence time. This is yet another
enhancement of the Spanning Tree Protocol implementation. An
additional feature that enhances performance is voice VLAN. This
feature allows network administrators to assign voice traffic to a
VLAN dedicated to IP telephony, thereby simplifying phone
installations and providing easier network traffic administration
and troubleshooting.
NETWORK MANAGEMENT
Customers can configure one switch at a time with the embedded Cisco
Device Manager, or configure and troubleshoot multiple switches with
Cisco Network Assistant, a free standalone network management
software application optimized for LANs of small and medium-sized
businesses with up to 250 users. Cisco Device Manager offers a
simple and intuitive GUI interface for configuring and monitoring
the switch. The software is Web-based and embedded in Cisco Catalyst
3750, 3650, 3550, 2970, 2950, and 2940 Switches. Cisco Express Setup
simplifies the switch initialization. Users now have the option to
set up the switch through a Web browser, eliminating the need for
more complex terminal emulation programs and knowledge of the CLI.
Cisco Device Manager and Cisco Express Setup reduce the cost of
deployment by enabling less-skilled personnel to quickly and simply
set up switches.
With Cisco Network Assistant, customers can configure multiple ports
and switches simultaneously, perform software updates across
multiple switches at once, and copy configurations to other switches
for rapid network deployments. Bandwidth graphs and link reports
provide useful diagnostic information, and the topology map gives
network administrators a quick view of the network status. Cisco
Network Assistant supports a wide range of Cisco Catalyst
intelligent switches from Cisco Catalyst 2950 through Cisco Catalyst
4506. Through a user-friendly GUI, users can configure and manage a
wide array of switch functions and start the device manager of Cisco
routers and Cisco wireless access points
The Cisco Network Assistant Software Guide Mode leads the user
step-by-step through the configuration of advanced features and
provides enhanced online help for context-sensitive assistance.
Cisco AVVID (Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data)
Wizards provide automated configuration of the switch to optimally
support video streaming or video conferencing, voice over IP (VoIP),
and mission-critical applications. In addition, Smartports offers a
set of verified feature macros per connection type in an
easy-to-apply manner. With these macros, users can consistently and
reliably configure essential security, availability, quality of
service, and manageability features recommended for Cisco Business
Ready Campus solutions with minimal effort and expertise. These
Wizards and Smartports can save hours of time for network
administrators, eliminate human errors, and ensure that the
configuration of the switch is optimized for these applications.
In addition to Cisco Network Assistant, Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series
switches provide extensive management tools using SNMP network
management platforms such as CiscoWorks. Managed with CiscoWorks,
Cisco Catalyst family switches can be configured and managed to
deliver end-to-end device, VLAN, traffic, and policy management.
Coupled with CiscoWorks, Cisco Resource Manager Essentials, a
Web-based management tool, offers automated inventory collection,
software deployment, easy tracking of network changes, views into
device availability, and quick isolation of error conditions.

internal power supply, the Cisco RPS 675 Redundant Power
System. The connectors are located at the back of the
switch.
- Internal power supply connector
- –The internal power supply is an auto-ranging unit.
- –The internal power supply supports input voltages
between 100 and 240 VAC.
- –Use the supplied AC power cord to connect the AC power
connector to an AC power outlet.
- Cisco RPS 675 connector
- –The connector offers connection for an optional Cisco
RPS 675 that uses AC input and supplies DC output to the
switch.
- –The connector offers a 675W redundant power system that
supports one of up to six external network devices and
provides power to one failed device at a time.
- –The connector automatically senses when the internal
power supply of a connected device fails and provides power
to the failed device, preventing loss of network traffic.
- –Attach only the Cisco RPS 675 (Model PWR675-AC-RPS-NI=)
to the redundant power supply receptacle with this
connector.
