Technical Datasheet

ENERGY CONSUMPTION

The CBS220-24FP-4G-EU supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) and has built-in energy detection to minimize power use when network traffic is low. The switch consumes approximately 30.8W power when idle, with PoE power consumption up to 459W (total PoE budget), making it energy-optimized for operational cost efficiency.

PERFORMANCE

The switch provides a switching capacity of 56 Gbps and a forwarding rate of approximately 41.66 million packets per second (mpps) using 64-byte packets. It delivers high throughput suitable for small business converged networks, supporting simultaneous data, voice, and video applications without compromise. It accommodates up to 8192 MAC addresses and supports link aggregation, multiple spanning-tree protocols, and jumbo frames up to 9,216 bytes, enhancing network efficiency and reliability.

SECURITY FEATURES

The Cisco CBS220-24FP-4G-EU switch features advanced security measures including Access Control Lists (ACLs) for controlling traffic and restricting unauthorized access. It supports DHCP Snooping to prevent rogue DHCP servers, and Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) to guard against ARP spoofing attacks. The switch also implements IEEE 802.1X for port-based network access control to authenticate devices before allowing network access. Additional protections include storm control to prevent traffic floods, BPDU Guard to protect against spanning-tree attacks, and Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack prevention to maintain network stability. These security features together ensure a secure, reliable, and protected business network environment.
