Overview for Cisco Catalyst C1000-8T-2G-L 8-Port Gigabit Managed Network Switch | Refresh
The Cisco Catalyst C1000-8T-2G-L 8-Port Gigabit Managed Network Switch is a small, high-performance Layer 2 switch intended for small businesses, branch offices and essential IoT deployments. With eight high-speed Gigabit Ethernet ports and two combo Gigabit SFP uplink ports, this switch provides flexible and dependable connectivity for expanding networks and applications that require significant bandwidth. Network administrators can easily configure, monitor and secure their network infrastructure using its robust management capabilities—accessible through both an intuitive web UI and Cisco IOS CLI—making it well-suited for environments where performance and security are of utmost importance. The C1000-8T-2G-L, designed for reliable performance, provides a switching bandwidth of 20 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 14.88 Mpps, driven by an ARM processor operating at 800 MHz and equipped with 512 MB of RAM. Advanced Layer 2 features like VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), IGMP snooping and Access Control Lists (ACLs) guarantee effective traffic management and precise network segmentation. Security is bolstered through 802.1x authentication, BPDU Guard and port security measures to safeguard against unauthorized access and network threats. Its design, which does not include a fan and conserves energy, guarantees noiseless functioning and diminished power use. This makes it perfect for deployments that are sensitive to noise and mindful of the environment.
