Switch gestionado L2 Gigabit Ethernet Cisco CBS220-24T-4G — 24x 10/100/1000 RJ-45, 4x SFP, 1U, 56 Gbit/s

The Cisco CBS220-24T-4G is a managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch that provides 24 RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps ports and 4 SFP uplink slots in a 1U rack form factor. With a switching capacity of 56 Gbit/s and an 8192-entry MAC address table, the device supports IEEE 802.1D/s/w/x and IEEE 802.3 standards, VLAN segmentation and access control features suitable for small and medium business access-layer deployments and rack-mounted networks. It is part of the Cisco Business 220 Series designed for simplified management via the Cisco Business Dashboard and mobile app, enabling automated deployment, monitoring and lifecycle tasks for on-premises and hybrid environments.

Advantages

The switch combines managed Layer 2 functionality with a compact 1U rack design, offering reliable Gigabit connectivity across 24 copper ports and four fiber-capable SFP uplinks. Standard protocol support (VLANs, Spanning Tree, Link Aggregation, QoS) and an 8192 MAC table provide stable traffic handling for converged data, voice and video services. Centralized management through Cisco Business Dashboard reduces administrative overhead and simplifies firmware updates, configuration and monitoring. The device’s 56 Gbit/s switching capacity ensures non-blocking performance for typical access-layer deployments.

Suitable for

• Small and medium office access-layer switching
• Rack-mounted network aggregation in wiring closets
• Networks requiring VLAN segmentation and QoS for voice/video
• Environments that need centralized management via a dashboard or mobile app

Key specifications

• Ports: 24 × 10/100/1000 RJ-45
• Uplinks: 4 × SFP slots for fiber modules
• Switching capacity: 56 Gbit/s
• MAC address table: 8192 entries
• Layer: Managed Layer 2
• Standards: IEEE 802.1D/s/w/x and IEEE 802.3 support
• Form factor: 1U rack-mountable

How to use

Install the switch in a standard 19-inch rack using the included mounting hardware or place it on a stable shelf in a network closet. Connect powered devices to the RJ-45 ports using Cat5e or Cat6 cables and use SFP modules in the SFP slots for fiber uplinks to distribution or core equipment. Access the management interface through the Cisco Business Dashboard or the local web GUI to configure VLANs, QoS, Spanning Tree, link aggregation and access control lists. Apply an IP address, set administrator credentials and update firmware before placing the switch into production.

Recommendations

Use Category 6 or better cabling for optimal Gigabit performance and EMI resilience. Plan VLAN and QoS settings in advance if deploying voice or video, and group uplink links using link aggregation for higher throughput and redundancy. Keep firmware up to date via the Cisco Business Dashboard and secure management access with strong credentials and role-based access controls.
