Description: The key to succeeding in today's competitive business environment is investing resources wisely - knowing how to separate the essential from the extraneous and get the most value for your dollars. As the backbone of your business and productivity applications, the small business network clearly falls into the "essential" category. But that doesn't mean you need the most advanced feature set on the market. With Cisco 200 Series Switches, you can achieve business-class network security and performance without paying for advanced network management features that you will not need. When you need a reliable solution to share network resources and connect computers, printers, and servers, but low cost is a top priority, Cisco 200 Series Switches provide the ideal solution.

The key to succeeding in today's competitive business environment is investing
resources wisely - knowing how to separate the essential from the extraneous
and get the most value for your dollars. As the backbone of your business and
productivity applications, the small business network clearly falls into the
"essential" category. But that doesn't mean you need the most advanced
feature set on the market.
With Cisco? 200 Series Switches, you can achieve business-class network
security and performance without paying for advanced network management features
that you will not need. When you need a reliable solution to share network resources
and connect computers, printers, and servers, but low cost is a top priority,
Cisco 200 Series Switches provide the ideal solution.
Easy configuration and management: Cisco 200 Series switches are
designed to be easy to deploy and use by small businesses or the partners
that serve them. Simple-to-use web-based interfaces reduce the time it takes
to deploy, manage, and troubleshoot your network. Key features include:
Cisco Discovery Protocol simplifies setup by discovering all connected
Cisco devices and allowing them to share informationCisco Smartports technology automatically configures switch ports for
different connected devices (PCs, IP phones, wireless access points) based
on pre-tested Cisco best practicesCisco FindIT Network Discovery Utility works through a simple toolbar
on the user's web browser to discover Cisco devices on the network and
display basic information, such as serial numbers and IP addresses, to
aid in the configuration and speed the deployment of Cisco Small Business
products. For more information, and to download the utility, visit www.cisco.com/go/findit.Performance and reliability: Cisco 200 Series switches have been
tested to deliver the high availability and performance you would expect from
a Cisco switch and help you prevent costly downtime. The switches speed file
transfer times, improve slow and sluggish networks, keep your vital business
applications available, and help your employees respond more quickly to customers
and each other. With a network based on Cisco 200 Series switches, you can
address all of your business communication and connectivity needs and reduce
the total cost of ownership of your technology infrastructure.PoE: Cisco 200 Series switches are available with PoE on both Fast
Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet models. This capability simplifies the deployment
of IP telephony, wireless, video surveillance, and other solutions by allowing
you to send data and power to network endpoints over the same network cable.
With no need for separate power supplies or outlets for IP phones, IP cameras,
or wireless access points, you can speed up deployment and installation and
take advantage of advanced communications technologies quickly, and at a lower
cost.Network security: Cisco 200 Series switches provide basic security
and network management features you need to maintain a level of security for
