Description

Cisco CBS250-16T-2G Smart Switch Dubai

The Cisco CBS250-16T-2G addresses the connectivity challenges faced by expanding businesses through its optimized 16-port configuration that doubles the connectivity options of smaller switches while maintaining the same compact footprint and energy-efficient operation. This enhanced port density proves particularly valuable for businesses in Dubai that are experiencing growth in their workforce, device count, or application requirements.

Each of the 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports delivers full line-rate performance with wire-speed forwarding, ensuring that connected devices experience consistent high-speed connectivity regardless of network load or traffic patterns. The switch’s architecture supports a total switching capacity of 36 Gbps with a forwarding rate of 26.78 Mpps, providing ample performance headroom for demanding business applications.

Advanced Layer 3 static routing capabilities enable businesses to implement sophisticated network segmentation strategies that enhance both security and performance. This capability allows organizations in Abu Dhabi and Dubai to create separate network segments for different departments, applications, or user groups while maintaining efficient communication between segments through intelligent routing decisions.

Quality of Service (QoS) features ensure that critical business applications receive appropriate network priority, particularly important for businesses that rely on real-time applications such as voice communications, video conferencing, and cloud-based enterprise applications. The switch implements comprehensive QoS mechanisms that classify, mark, and queue traffic according to business priorities.

VLAN support for up to 256 virtual networks enables detailed network architectures that separate different types of traffic, user groups, and applications according to business requirements and security policies. This capability proves particularly valuable for businesses that need to support multiple departments, guest access, and specialized applications within a single network infrastructure.
