Product Overview
The Cisco

2950SX-48, 2950T-48, 2950SX-24, 2950-24, and 2950-12 switches,
members of the Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series, are standalone, fixed-configuration, managed
10/100-Mbps switches providing basic workgroup connectivity for small to midsize
networks. These wire-speed desktop switches come with Standard Image software features
and offer Cisco IOS
®
Software functions for basic data, voice, and video services at the edge
of the network. Embedded in all Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series switches is the Cisco Cluster
Management Suite (CMS) software, which allows users to simultaneously configure and
troubleshoot multiple Cisco Catalyst desktop switches using a standard Web browser. In
addition, with the newly launched Cisco Express Setup, users now have the option to set up
the switch through a Web browser, eliminating the need for more complex terminal
emulation programs and knowledge of the command-line interface (CLI). Cisco Express
Setup reduces the cost of deployment by enabling less-skilled personnel to set up switches
quickly. This product line offers two distinct sets of software features and a range of
configurations to allow small, midsize, and enterprise branch offices to select the right
combination for the network edge. For networks that require additional security, advanced
quality of service (QoS), and high availability, Enhanced Image software delivers intelligent
services such as rate limiting and security filtering for deployment at the network edge.
The Cisco Catalyst 2950SX-48, 2950T-48, 2950SX-24, 2950-12 and 2950-24 switches
(Figures 1–5) are available only with the Standard Image (SI) software for the Cisco
Catalyst 2950 Series.
