Description

The Cisco CBS350-24P-4G is a managed, enterprise-grade switch from Cisco’s Business 350 line, designed for small to medium businesses. It offers full Layer 2 and basic Layer 3 features, with PoE+ support on its access ports. The “24P” refers to 24 PoE (Power over Ethernet) ports, and “4G” refers to 4 Gigabit SFP uplink ports. The “-IN” suffix typically designates the model for the India / regional variant (voltage, compliance etc).

It sits between simple unmanaged switches and full-blown Cisco enterprise switches, providing advanced features (VLANs, QoS, routing, security) while remaining more affordable and easier to manage for smaller deployments.

Key Features & Benefits

Below are the main feature highlights:

• PoE+ support on 24 ports
  The switch provides 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps ports with PoE+ capability (to power devices like IP phones, access points, cameras). 

  4 SFP uplink ports

• For fiber or long-distance uplinks, there are 4 Gigabit SFP ports for flexible network design. 

• Managed switch with Layer 2 + limited Layer 3 features
  Supports VLANs (802.1Q, port-based, protocol-based, private VLANs, etc.), link aggregation (LACP, up to 8 groups), static routing, RIP v2, and policy-based routing. 
  IPv6 routing is also supported. Stacking (hardware stacking)

• You can stack up to 4 units so that multiple switches appear and behave as a single logical unit with failover. 

• Multicast / IGMP support
  Supports IGMP snooping (v1, v2, v3), IGMP proxy, and multicast VLAN registration (MVR) to manage multicast traffic efficiently. 

• VLAN, Q-in-Q, and VLAN translation
  Offers advanced VLAN features like VLAN translation, selective Q-in-Q, Private VLANs, and guest VLAN support. 

• Security and management features
  Features such as UDLD (Unidirectional Link Detection), loopback detection, DHCP snooping & relay, access control lists (ACLs), 802.1X authentication, and RADIUS integration. Power & energy efficiency

• Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), PoE power budgeting, and other optimization features help reduce power consumption. 

• Resiliency and reliability
  Loop protection, Spanning Tree (various versions), failover, and high availability stacking. 

• Cisco Business Dashboard / management tools
  Integration with Cisco’s management plane for easier monitoring, configuration, lifecycle management, and remote troubleshooting.
