Overview

The C2K122‐24 is a stackable switch, which can be adapted and scaled to help meet your
network needs. The switch provides 24‐Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10‐Gigabit
Ethernet interface port slots. The switch provides a management platform and uplink to a
backbone for a stacked group of up to eight SecureStack switches. The two built‐in XFP
(10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) interface slots provide you with the option of
installing 802.3ae XFP‐compliant modules 10GBASE‐L/‐LR/‐ER fiber‐optic connections for
10‐Gbps high speed uplinks to the network backbone.
The switch also supports the use of a redundant DC power supply to help prevent
downtime due to an internal power supply failure in the switch or AC power source.
You can install the switch on a flat surface or into a standard 19‐inch rack with user‐
supplied mounting hardware, and configure the switch functions using the WebView™
application, CLI switching commands, and/or SNMP.
