Reliability and performance: Cisco Business 250 Series switches have been tested to deliver the high performance and reliability you would expect from a Cisco switch and help you prevent costly downtime. The switches speed file transfer times, improve slow and sluggish networks, keep your vital business applications available, and help your employees respond more quickly to customers and each other. With a network based on Cisco Business 250 Series switches, you can address all of your business communications and connectivity needs and reduce the total cost of ownership of your technology infrastructure. Cisco Business 250 Series switches also support 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks on select models, so you can build a high-performance and future-ready network to support your thriving business.

Layer 3 static routing: This capability allows you to segment your network into separate workgroups and communicate across VLANs without degrading application performance. As a result, you can manage internal routing with your switches and dedicate your router to external traffic and security, helping your network run more efficiently.

Power over Ethernet (PoE): Cisco Business 250 Series switches are available with PoE+ on Gigabit Ethernet models. This capability enables the deployment of IP telephony, wireless, video surveillance, and other solutions with just a single network cable, thereby eliminating the need for separate power supplies or cabling.

The switches include integrated network security to reduce the risk of a security breach, with IEEE 802.1X port security to control access to your network, Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack prevention to increase network uptime during an attack, and extensive Access Control Lists (ACLs) to protect sensitive portions of the network from unauthorized users and guard against network attacks.

Flexible and compact design: The sleek and compact design provide additional deployment flexibility, including outside wiring closet installation such as retail stores, open plan offices, and classrooms without disturbing the environment.

An energy-efficient solution: Cisco Business 250 Series switches are designed to be energy efficient and eco-friendly without compromising performance. They help conserve energy by optimizing power use, which helps protect the environment and lowers your energy costs. Power-saving features include:

- 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
- Automatic power shutoff on ports when a link is down
- Fan-less design in most models, which reduces power consumption, increases reliability, and provides quieter operation

Peace of mind and investment protection: Cisco Business 250 Series switches offer the reliable performance, investment protection, and peace of mind you expect from a Cisco switch. Complementary one-year access to our Small Business Support Center for ongoing support. Limited lifetime warranty with return to factory replacement keeps your business running smoothly.

Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) versions 1, 2, and 3 snooping

Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) limits bandwidth-intensive multicast traffic to only the requesters; supports 255 multicast groups (source-specific multicasting is also supported)

IGMP querier

Used to support a Layer 2 multicast domain of snooping switches in the absence of a multicast router

Head-of-Line (HOL) blocking

HOL blocking prevention

Loopback detection

Loopback detection provides protection against loops by transmitting loop protocol packets out of ports on which loop protection has been enabled. It operates independently of STP

Layer 3

IPv4 routing

Wire-speed routing of IPv4 packets
Up to 32 static routes and up to 16 IP interfaces

IPv6 routing

Wire-speed routing of IPv6 packets

Layer 3 interface

Configuration of Layer 3 interface on physical port, LAG, VLAN interface, or loopback interface

Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR)

Support for CIDR

Relay of DHCP traffic across IP domains

User Datagram Protocol (UDP) relay

Relay of broadcast information across Layer 3 domains for application discovery or relaying of Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP)/DHCP packets

Security

Secure Shell (SSH)

Protocol SSH is a secure replacement for Telnet traffic. Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) also uses SSH. SSH v1 and v2 are supported

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

SSL support: Encrypts all HTTPS traffic, allowing highly secure access to the browserbased management GUI in the switch

IEEE 802.1X (authenticator role)

Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) authentication, guest VLAN, single/multiple host mode, and single/multiple sessions

STP loopback guard

Provides additional protection against Layer 2 forwarding loops (STP loops)

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 a secure auto-configuration. Access to view the sensitive data as plain text or encrypted is provided according to the userconfigured access level and the access method of the user

Trustworthy systems

Trustworthy systems provide a highly secure foundation for Cisco products
Run-time defenses (Executable Space Protection [X-Space], Address Space Layout
Randomization [ASLR], Built-In Object Size Checking [BOSC])

Port security

Ability to lock source MAC addresses to ports and limit the number of learned MAC addresses

RADIUS/TACACS+

Supports RADIUS and TACACS authentication. Switch functions as a client

RADIUS accounting

The RADIUS accounting functions allow data to be sent at the start and end of services indicating the number of resources (such as time, packets, bytes, and so on) used during the session

Storm control

Broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast

DoS prevention

DoS attack prevention

Multiple user privilege levels in CLI

Level 1, 7, and 15 privilege levels

ACLs

Support for up to 1024 rules
Drop or rate limit based on source and destination MAC, VLAN ID, IPv4 or IPv6 address, IPv6 flow label, protocol, port, Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP)/IP precedence,TCP/UDP source and destination ports, 802.1p priority, Ethernet type, Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packets, IGMP packets, TCP flag; ACL can be applied on both ingress and egress sides
Time-based ACLs supported

Quality of service

Priority levels

8 hardware queues

Scheduling

Strict priority and Weighted Round-Robin (WRR) queue assignment based on DSCP and class of service (802.1p/CoS)

Class of service

Port based, 802.1p VLAN priority based, IPv4/v6 IP precedence/Type of Service (ToS)/DSCP based, Differentiated Services (DiffServ), classification and re-marking ACLs, trusted QoS

Rate limiting

Ingress policer, egress shaping and rate control per VLAN, per port, and flow based

Congestion avoidance

A TCP congestion avoidance algorithm is required to reduce and prevent global TCP loss synchronization
