Product Description
The Cisco Catalyst 3560 switch is a fixed configuration, enterprise-class, IEEE
802.3af and Cisco prestandard Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch in Fast Ethernet
configuration that provides availability, security, and quality of service to
enhance network operations. The Catalyst 3560 is an ideal access layer switch
for small enterprise wiring closets or branch office environments that are using
their LAN infrastructure for the deployment of products and applications such as
IP telephones, wireless access points, video surveillance, building management
systems, and remote video kiosks. Customers can deploy network-wide intelligent
services, such as advanced QoS, rate limiting, access control lists, multicast
management, and high-performance IP routing - while maintaining the simplicity
of traditional LAN switching. Embedded in the Catalyst 3560 is the Cisco Cluster
Management Suite Software, which allows users to simultaneously configure and
troubleshoot multiple Cisco Catalyst desktop switches using a standard Web
browser. Cisco CMS Software provides configuration wizards that greatly simplify
the implementation of converged networks and intelligent network services.
The Catalyst 3560 can provide a lower total cost of ownership for deployments
that incorporate IP phones and Aironet wireless LAN access points, as well as
any IEEE 802.3af-compliant end device. Power over Ethernet removes the need for
wall power to each PoE-enabled device and eliminates the cost for additional
electrical cabling that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and wireless
LAN deployments.
Maximum power availability for a converged voice and data network is attainable
when a Catalyst 3560 Switch is combined with the Cisco Redundant Power System
675 (RPS 675) for seamless protection against internal power supply failures and
an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system to safeguard against power outages.
The Cisco Catalyst 3560 comes with the standard multilayer software image. The
SMI feature set includes advanced QoS, rate limiting, access control lists, and
basic static and Routing Information Protocol routing functionality.
