Cisco 550 Series SF550X-24P Stackable L3 Managed Switch, PoE+, 24 Ports 10/100 (24 Ports PoE+, Max 195W), 2 Ports 10G RJ-45, 2 Ports Combo 10G RJ-45 or SFP+, Limited Lifetime Warranty

Eliminate downtime and improve network redundancy with the SF550X-24-K9 24 Port Fast Ethernet Managed Switch from Cisco.

This network switch comes equipped with 24 Fast Ethernet ports, 2 10GBase-T/SFP+ ports, and 2 SFP+ ports giving network administrators a wealth of connectivity options. Backing up the plethora network ports, this Cisco switch comes supports an 84.4 Gbps switching capacity and a 63.09 Mpps forwarding rate to ensure data flows smoothly about the switch. Inside the SF550X series switch is an 800 MHz dual-core ARM processor along with 512 MB RAM and 256 MB flash memory. This Cisco SF550X series switch is designed around redundancy and network uptime as it can easily be stacked with other compatible network switches. In this setup switches are designed to work in conjunction with one another so if one switch fails another carries the load thus mitigating network downtime or avoiding it altogether. The SF550X is also energy efficient as it comes compatible with the IEEE 802.3az network standard allowing it to monitor network usage and adjust the power output accordingly. The Cisco SF550X is easy to deploy and use as it supports a variety of advanced management features including a graphical user interface, configuration wizards, command-line interface capabilities, Cisco Discovery Protocol, SNMP support, and more.

High-Performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet

Cisco 550X Series switches break the barrier of 10 Gigabit Ethernet adoption by providing affordable and flexible configurations customized for the demanding network requirements of small and medium businesses.


High Reliability and Resiliency

In a growing business in which availability 24 hours a day, 7 days a week is critical, you need to assure that employees and customers can always access the data and resources whenever they need. In these environments, stackable switches can play an important role in eliminating downtime and improving network resiliency. For example, if a switch within a Cisco 550X Series stack fails, another switch immediately takes over, keeping your network up and running. You can also replace individual devices in the stack without taking your network offline or affecting employee productivity. The Cisco 550X Series is designed to deliver hardware redundancy at the lowest incremental cost. Power redundancy is delivered with the Cisco RPS2300 external RPS system. If power to the switch is lost (through loss of AC power or power supply failure), the switch will automatically, and instantaneously, obtain its power from the RPS. This switchover occurs so quickly that there is no loss in traffic or reboot of the device. A Cisco RPS2300 system can be connected to up to six 550X Series switches to provide redundancy. Cooling fan redundancy is delivered through preinstalled N+1 configuration. A switch can fully support all its capabilities for the life of the product with only N fans. If one of the fans fails, the spare fan automatically takes over, without causing any downtime.

The Cisco 550X Series provides an additional layer of resiliency with support for the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). VRRP lets you extend the same resiliency that stacking provides for individual switches to complete network domains. By running VRRP between two stacks, you can instantly cut over from one stack to another in the event of a problem and continue operating even after a failure. The Cisco 550X Series also supports dual images, allowing you to perform software upgrades without having to take the network offline or worry about the network going down during the upgrade.
