IP Telephony Support

The Cisco SF200-24 switch includes QoS features to prioritize delay-sensitive services such as voice and video, simplifies unified communications deployments and helps ensure consistent network performance for all services. For example, Auto Voice VLAN capabilities let you plug any IP phone (including third-party phones) into your IP telephony network and receive an immediate dial tone. The switch automatically configures the device with the right VLAN and QoS parameters to prioritize voice traffic.

IPv6 Support

Internet service providers worldwide are moving to the latest version of Internet Protocol to accommodate the growing number of network devices. Cisco SF200-24 switch provides native support for IPv6 alongside traditional IPv4. That means you can take full advantage of IPv6-enabled operating systems and applications in the future, without having to upgrade your network equipment.

Energy-Efficient Solution

The Cisco SF200-24 switch is designed to be eco-friendly without compromising performance. It helps conserve energy by optimizing power use, which helps protect the environment and lowers your energy costs. Power-saving features include:
• Automatic power down on Gigabit ports when a link is not active.
• Fanless design which reduces power consumption, increases reliability and provides quieter operation.

Additional Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The Cisco SF200-24 provides more ports per switch giving you more flexibility to connect and empower your business. The Cisco SF200-24 also offers mini Gigabit Interface Converter (mini-GBIC) expansion slots that give you the option to add fiber optic or Gigabit Ethernet uplink connectivity to the switch. With the ability to increase the connectivity range of the switches, you have more flexibility to design your network around your unique business environment and to easily connect switches on different floors or across the business.

Peace of Mind and Investment Protection

The Cisco SF200-24 offers the reliable performance, investment protection and peace of mind you expect from a Cisco switch. When you invest in the Cisco SF200-24 switch you gain the benefit of:
• Cisco Small Business Investment Protection Program, which lets you upgrade your Cisco SF200-24 switch to another Cisco Small Business or Cisco Catalyst switch in the future and receive credit for the value of the switch (available only in the United States and Canada).
• Rigorous testing to help ensure easy integration and compatibility with other Cisco networking and communications products, including the complete Cisco Small Business portfolio.
