The Cisco Catalyst WS-CWS-C2950-12-12 is a member of the Cisco Catalyst WS-C2950-12 Series switches, and is a standalone, fixed-configuration, managed 10/100 switch providing user connectivity for small to mid-sized networks. This wire-speed desktop switch comes with Standard Image (SI) software features and offers Cisco IOS� functionality for basic data, video and voice services at the edge of the network.

These switches provide customers with many connectivity and port-density options. The Cisco Catalyst WS-C2950-12-12 and Cisco Catalyst WS-C2950-12-24 switches provide 12 and 24 10/100 Mbps ports, respectively, for edge connectivity. Cisco Catalyst WS-C2950-12 Series switches are fixed-configuration models that provide wire-speed Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for small and medium-sized networks. The Cisco Catalyst WS-C2950-12 Series is an affordable product line that brings intelligent services, such as enhanced security, high availability, and advanced quality of service (QoS), to the network edge-while maintaining the simplicity of traditional LAN switching.

Embedded in all Cisco Catalyst WS-C2950-12 Series switches is the Cisco Device Manager software, which allows users to easily configure and monitor the switch using a standard Web browser, eliminating the need for more complex terminal emulation programs and knowledge of the command-line interface (CLI). Customers can easily initialize the switch with web-based Cisco Express Setup, without using the CLI. In addition, with Cisco Network Assistant, a standalone network management software, customers can simultaneously configure and troubleshoot multiple Cisco Catalyst desktop switches. Cisco Device Manager, Cisco Express Setup, and Cisco Network Assistant reduce the cost of deployment by enabling less-skilled personnel to set up switches quickly. Furthermore, Cisco Catalyst WS-C2950-12 Series switches provide extensive management tools using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) network management platforms such as CiscoWorks.
