Cisco SX550X-12F Dubai

The Cisco SX550X-12F Dubai Switch represents the latest in managed switch technology, offering exceptional performance, feature-rich capabilities, and user-friendly operation. Supporting both Layer 2 and 3 features, advanced security, routing, and energy-saving technology, it establishes a robust foundation for current and future business applications. As a stackable managed Ethernet switch in Dubai, the Cisco SX550X-12F provides the advanced capabilities and superior performance necessary to support demanding network environments, all at a cost-effective price.

This switch incorporates fan and power hardware redundancy, enhancing overall network availability. Additionally, the Cisco SX550X-12F Dubai switch is designed for effortless deployment and management, eliminating the need for an extensive IT staff. It ensures the safeguarding of your technology investment as your business expands. In contrast to switches that claim to be stackable but manage elements separately, the Cisco SX550X-12F Dubai offers authentic stacking capability. This allows you to seamlessly configure, manage, and troubleshoot multiple physical switches as a unified device, simplifying network expansion.

The true stack functionality delivers a unified data and control plane, along with a management plane, ensuring flexibility, scalability, and user-friendliness. This is achieved by treating the stack of units as a cohesive entity, encompassing all the ports of the stack members.

Features

Unmatched reliability and resiliency

Keep your network running so your business never slows down. The Cisco SX550X-12F Dubai offers true stacking, built-in fan redundancy, a redundant power supply connector, and high-availability protocols.

Advanced features

The Cisco SX550X-12F Dubai includes capabilities and management options you need to support applications today and in the future, such as strong security, advanced QoS, comprehensive IPv6 support, and Layer 3 dynamic routing.

Power over Ethernet

The Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) standard provides up to 30 watts of power per port. Cisco SX550X-12F Dubai also support 60W PoE on selected ports to power compact switches and high-power wireless access points.

Energy efficiency

Cisco SX550X-12F Dubai packs a variety of energy-saving features, including energy-detect mode, cable-length detection, and Energy-Efficient Ethernet, provide an eco-friendly and cost-effective network solution without compromising performance.

  • Support for the Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) standard, which reduces energy consumption by monitoring the amount of traffic on an active link and putting the link into a sleep state during quiet periods
  • The latest application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), which use low-power 28- or 40-nanometer technology and low-power, high-performance ARM CPUs
  • Automatic power shutoff on ports when a link is down
  • LEDs that can be turned off to save power
  • Embedded intelligence to adjust signal strength based on the length of the connecting cable
  • Smart fans in which fan speed is automatically adjusted according to switch temperature to decrease acoustic noise and save power

Advanced Stacking

A true stack delivers a unified data and control plane, in addition to management plane, providing flexibility, scalability, and ease of use because the stack of units operates as a single entity constituting all the ports of the stack members. This capability can radically reduce complexity in a growing network environment while improving the resiliency and availability of network applications. True stacking also provides other cost savings and administrative benefits through features such as cross-stack QoS, VLANs, LAGs, and port mirroring, which clustered switches cannot support. Using standard 10G fiber or copper connections, Cisco SX550X-12F Dubai supports both local and horizontal stacking deployments and the flexibility of ring or chain topology

Easy Deployment and Use

Cisco SX550X-12F Dubai is designed to be easy to use and manage by small and medium businesses, commercial customers, or the partners that serve them. Features include:

  • Simple and advanced mode graphic user interfaces reduce the time required to deploy, troubleshoot, and manage the network and allow you to support sophisticated capabilities without increasing IT head count.
  • Configuration wizards simplify the most common configuration tasks and provide the ultimate tool for anyone to easily set up and manage the network.
  • The Cisco SX550X-12F Dubai switches also support Textview, a full command-line interface (CLI) option for customers or partners that prefer it.
  • The USB port on the switch enables easy image and configuration transfer for faster deployment or upgrade.
  • Using Auto Smart ports intelligence, the switch can detect a network device connected to any port and automatically configure the optimal security, quality of service (QoS), and availability on that port.
  • Cisco Discovery Protocol discovers Cisco devices and allows devices to share critical configuration information, simplifying network setup and integration.
  • Support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows you to set up and manage your switches and other Cisco devices remotely from a network management station, improving IT workflow and mass configurations.
  • The Cisco FindIT utility, which works through a simple toolbar on the user’s web browser, discovers Cisco devices in the network and displays basic information, such as serial numbers and IP addresses, to aid in configuration and deployment.

Simplified IT Operation

Cisco SX550X-12F Dubai helps optimize your IT operations with built-in features that simplify day-to-day network operation:

  • True stacking allows you to configure, manage, and troubleshoot multiple physical switches as a single entity.
  • Cisco switches use common chipsets/software across all switching portfolios, so all Cisco switches within a series support the same feature set, making it easier to manage and support all switches across the network.

STP BPDU Guard A security mechanism to protect the networks from invalid configurations. A port enabled for Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) Guard is shut down if a BPDU message is received on that port. This avoids accidental topology loops.
STP Root Guard This prevents edge devices not in the network administrator’s control from becoming Spanning Tree Protocol root nodes.
DHCP snooping Filters out DHCP messages with unregistered IP addresses and/or from unexpected or untrusted interfaces. This prevents rogue devices from behaving as a DHCP server.
IP Source Guard (IPSG) When IP Source Guard is enabled at a port, the switch filters out IP packets received from the port if the source IP addresses of the packets have not been statically configured or dynamically learned from DHCP snooping. This prevents IP address spoofing.
Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) The switch discards ARP packets from a port if there are no static or dynamic IP/MAC bindings or if there is a discrepancy between the source or destination address in the ARP packet. This prevents man-in-the-middle attacks.
IP/MAC/Port Binding (IPMB) The preceding features (DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, and Dynamic ARP Inspection) work together to prevent DoS attacks in the network, thereby increasing network availability.
Secure Core Technology (SCT) Makes sure that the switch will receive and process management and protocol traffic no matter how much traffic is received.
Secure Sensitive Data (SSD) A mechanism to manage sensitive data (such as passwords, keys, and so on) securely on the switch, populating this data to other devices, and secure autoconfig. Access to view the sensitive data as plaintext or encrypted is provided according to the user-configured access level and the access method of the user.
Private VLAN Private VLAN provides security and isolation between switch ports, which helps ensure that users cannot snoop on other users’ traffic; supports multiple uplinks.
Port security Ability to lock MAC addresses to ports, and limit the number of learned MAC addresses.
