The Cisco Catalyst Express 500 Series Switches are a new family of fixed-configuration
managed Ethernet standalone devices that provide wire-speed Fast Ethernet and
Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, enabling enhanced LAN services for businesses
with up to 250 employees. The Cisco Catalyst Express 500 Series offers integrated
security, quality of service (QoS), and features optimized for integration with
Cisco wireless LAN (WLAN), security, and IP telephony solutions.
The Cisco Catalyst Express 500 Series offers:
- Power over Ethernet (PoE): 4-port and 24-port PoE configurations provide
full 15.4W simultaneously on all ports for seamless integration with Cisco IP
Communications and Cisco WLAN solutions.
- Advanced network security:
- Support for IEEE 802.1x, port security, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Integration with Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) using the NAC appliance
- Optimized QoS using Cisco Smartports: Cisco Smartports roles match
the appropriate class-of-service (CoS) and differentiated services code point
(DSCP) values to the specific Cisco device connected to the Cisco Catalyst Express
switch. This allows for trouble-free deployment of Cisco advanced technologies
such as IP telephony and WLAN.
- Central management of Cisco foundation, IP telephony and WLAN solutions:
In conjunction with the GUI-based Cisco Network Assistant, the Cisco Catalyst
Express 500 Series allows centralized management of a Cisco small
and medium-sized business (SMB) network, including Cisco Catalyst switches,
integrated services routers (ISRs) and Cisco IP phones, using a single IP address.
Management can be done locally or remotely, using a secure SSL connection. Cisco
Network Assistant is available at no cost and is now available in localized
languages (Japanese, Chinese, French, Italian, German, and Spanish).
