From the Manufacturer
---------------------
The Cisco ESW-540-8P is a cost-effective 8-port switch that’s
designed to serve as the back of a small business network.
Part of the Cisco Small Business Pro Series, this managed
Ethernet switch provides wire-speed Fast Ethernet connectivity
along with embedded security, quality of service, and Power over
Ethernet features to meet all of a small business’s
communications needs.
Lit-up signals on the front of the switch allow you to easily
check the status of connected devices.
The eight 10/100/100 Gigabit Ethernet ports located on the rear
of the ESW-540-8P help you create or extend your network and
deploy advanced Power over Ethernet capabilities.
Powerful Expansion
The eight 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports on the ESW-540-8P
give you the flexibility you need to interconnect a range of
high-speed network devices across your network, from IP phones to
IP-based surveillance cameras to additional network endpoints.
Use the managed switch as your primary network hub or as an
expansion gateway to a new location in your business. Included
Power over Ethernet functionality gives you the ability to deploy
supported devices to remote locations throughout your workplace,
as these devices won’t need an additional power cord to
work—that’s all handled through a single Ethernet cable.
Quality Data Access
An integrated Quality of Service feature allows you to manage
the network traffic flowing across the ESW-540-8P to ensure
maximum performance and consistency for your critical
applications. By letting high-priority applications for data,
video, and voice access the bandwidth they need to function
correctly, the ESW-540-8P prevents disruptions to your business
while allowing connected users to access the network as they
normally would.
Integrated security and data quality measures help ensure the
privacy and consistency of your critical network
traffic.Peace-of-Mind Security
In addition to preserving data quality, the ESW-540-8P protects
the integrity of the data on your network using a number of
comprehensive security features. Support for IEEE 802.1X port
security and access control lists allow you to authenticate and
regulate new connections to your network to keep unwanted users
away from your business-critical data. You can separate your
network into sections using integrated VLAN technology, which
allows you to increase internal security by keeping certain forms
of traffic isolated to members of a particular segment.
Comprehensive MAC address notification alerts you when a specific
machine has joined or terminated its connection to your network.
Simple Configuration
The ESW-540-8P can be configured and managed via an embedded
switch configuration utility for standalone deployments, or it
can be set up with Cisco Configuration Assistant when deploying a
Cisco Small Business Communications System and Small Business Pro
solution. Both options include support for Cisco Smartports,
Cisco Discovery Protocol, and common default configurations for
smooth system deployments. A five-year warranty that includes
next-business-day replacement (where available), software fixes
for the life of the warranty, 90 days of end-user phone support,
and one year of click-to-chat support gives you peace-of-mind
assurance and helps prevent costly downtime for your business’s
key operations.
