Cisco Catalyst Compact Switches: Cisco Catalyst 3560-C and Catalyst 2960-C Series
Cisco Catalyst Compact Switch Series Spotlight
PoE Pass-Through
PoE pass-through gives users the ability to power PoE and devices, as well as the switch itself, by drawing PoE+
power from a wiring closet switch, providing PoE or deployment flexibility. PoE pass-through technology is ideal
for wiring and space-constrained applications. Cisco Catalyst Compact Switches that support PoE pass-through
can have either PoE, or PoE+ capable downlink ports with two PoE+ input or uplink ports.
Ease of Management and Configuration
Cisco Catalyst 3560-C and Catalyst 2960-C Compact Switches make deployment and ongoing management
easy with Cisco Smart Operations, which enables customers to reduce switch installation, configuration,
troubleshooting time, and operational costs. Cisco Auto Smartports provides automatic configuration as devices
connect to the switch port, allowing auto detection and automatic operation of the device on the network.
Enhanced Security with Cisco TrustSec Technology
Cisco TrustSec technology secures access to the network and resources, whether wired, wireless, or VPN,
making sure that endpoint devices are authorized and healthy. Cisco TrustSec technology enforces security
policies across the entire network. The Cisco Catalyst 3560-C Series Switch also offers exceptional security with
MACsec defined in IEEE 802. 1 AE. MACsec provides MAC layer encryption over wired networks using
out-of-band methods for encryption keying.
Cisco EnergyWise Technology
Cisco EnergyWise technology is an innovative architecture added to the Cisco Catalyst 3560-C and Catalyst
2960-C Switches that enables the measurement of power consumption in the network infrastructure and
network-attached devices. It encompasses a highly intelligent network-based approach to communicate
messages that measure and control energy between network devices and endpoints. The network discovers
Cisco EnergyWise manageable devices, monitors their power consumption, and takes action based on business
rules to reduce power consumption.
