The Cisco Catalyst 3550 12G is a member of the Catalyst 3550 Series
Intelligent Ethernet Switches, a line of enterprise-class, stackable, multilayer
switches that provide high availability, security and quality of service
(QoS) to enhance the operation of the network. With a range of Fast Ethernet
and Gigabit Ethernet configurations, the Catalyst 3550 Series can serve as
both a powerful access layer switch for medium enterprise wiring closets
and as a backbone switch for mid-sized networks.
For the first time, customers can deploy network-wide intelligent services,
such as advanced quality of service (QoS), rate-limiting, Cisco security
access control lists, multicast management, and high-performance IP routing-while
maintaining the simplicity of traditional LAN switching.
