Make a choice of switching - catalyst 500/520/ESW Linksys SRW / SFE

Hello someone would be able to clarrify please where Cisco takes in what concerns the SMB switching product portfolio that I'm getting a little confussed.

My estimate that we currently have available that which follows to the SMB market, has decided there is a price difference significant between some of the product lines, but it seems that the choice when choosing a suitable switch fades a bit and starts to go down in price rather than the features and performance characteristics.

  • Cisco Catalyst Express 500 series switches
  • Cisco Catalyst Express 520 series switches
  • Cisco Small Business Pro ESW 500 series switches
  • Cisco Small Business Managed switch (Linksys Business Series)
  • Cisco Small Business Smart switch (Linksys Business Series)
  • Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series switches
  1. Can I ask if there are plans to merge some of the ranges of products like the 500 and 520, which are the two similiarly priced, managed in almost the same way and have the same function defined.
  2. Are there plans for the ESW line replace the Linksys SRW/SFE and Cisco 500/520 existing equivalents?
  3. I would correct assuming the ESW line runs the Code of IOS?

Any help would be appreciated.

Concerning

Mark Rigby

Mark,

Big questions.  Thanks for posting.

1. Yes, you can expect that over time, the ESW 500 series will replace the Catalyst Express series.

2. There are no plans for the series of ESW 500 replace SRW/SFE switches.  These product families are somewhat overlapping, but intended for different types of SME customers and partners VAR.

3. you are incorrect in assuming that the ESW is base IOS.  It is not the case.

The attached PDF provides a comparison of high-level Cisco switches that sell on SMB.

Thank you

Florian

  • Assignment of VLANS on catalyst express 520

    Hello

    I ache to configure a switch to catalyst Express 520-8PC. Could it, it is not possible to assign different VLAN than '1' in access to this switch ports? I hope it is possible and I have just found this option again. If this is the case, can we please refernce to some white paper or a guide (or simply explain how and where it should be done)?

    I tried either on the web-fronend and CCA/NAC (unfortunately it isn't all cli support) and not found anywhere in the configuration.

    Hello

    According to the data sheet, the 500 series supporsts VLAN up to 32.

  • Automatic configuration for routers, switches Catalyst and ASA backups

    I am looking for a free solution to make monthly backups of my routers (2821), Catalyst (X 3650, 3750-X) switches and ASA (5510). I'm in a Windows environment and have you not mind doing a bit of coding.

    I did some research looking at other popular solutions:

    -SNMP and a combination of Bash scripts, but that does not support switches Catalyst from what I've read.

    -Rance, on Linux & OS X, not something common in our environment

    -Tools of Tao kiwi, not free

    Is there something (or if applicable, somethings) that I am missing that will do this from a Windows environment for free?

    Thanks in advance.

    Kron seems to be supported on the routers only, ASA here is a good explanation on how to collect the backups regularly:

    https://supportforums.Cisco.com/docs/doc-14958

    If you are looking for a centralized solution and you machine to act as a collector, rancid is really the best option (if you can allow non-windows machines).

  • not visible on the switch Catalyst 2960 vNIC...

    Dear all,

    I configured the UCS chassis with 5 blades and installed the esxi on all five blades...

    I created a VNIC 10 per server and by now I have ip for esxi management by combining two NICs for and YEW is connected to the switch catalyst 2960. The uplinks are 1 Gig at the END and at the end of the switch... and I made these trunk at the end of the switch, all permitted the VLAN on the trunk link

    I have configured all the VLANS on during vNIC based on a model and all of those selected. vlan1 is the vlan by default & selected the same.

    Please help me to solve the problem... I got tired of all the means & could not able to find a solution.

    Kind regards

    Greetings.

    Please confirm you learn your esxi mgmt addresses (VMK0 will inherit mac vnic UCSM) on FI: #connect nxos

    #See table of mac addresses

    Do the same on your 2960 switches.  You see the mac addresses on the ports of 2960 connected for the UCSM uplinks?

    Your uplinks UCSM go the 2960 into a port channel?

  • How can I make new vNetwork Distributed Switch active?

    When right click on data center to create the new vNetwork Distributed Switch, the menu is not able (gray color). How can I make new vNetwork Distributed Switch active?

    Thank you!

    George

    To use vNetwork Distributed Switch, you need the license of vSphere Enterprise Plus.  Another version of vSphere does not include this feature.  You also need a vCenter Server license.

    I want the option buttons to change the selection one after the other (...)

    Ok. So, use the block if/then/else, as suggested in my previous answer (I added that, in your NBS and it worked).

    When the user presses enter switching must stop and it should have control over the Group of radio buttons.

    Then, you should stop the timer in this button actionPerformed.

  • The switch Catalyst 3560 G Web Interface problem

    Hello

    I have a problem with my switch to Cisco Catalyst 3560 G. The web interface does not work (I tried IE11, IE6, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari).

    There is only displayed icons but no text:

    To try to solve the problem, I have updated the switch to its latest version of IOS (from 12.2 (55) to 12.2 SE7 (55) SE9). But the problem persists

    WS-C3560G-48TS 12.2 SE9 (55) C3560-IPBASEK9-M

    In the configuration, the web server is enabled:
    IP http server
    IP http secure server

    What can I do?

    Thank you

    Best regards
    Fabien

    Hello Fabien,

    I think I found the problem and a workaround for this.

    The problem comes from the language of the webbrowser.

    I got exactly the same problem with the same model with the same version of IOS.

    I checked with the debugging tools in firefox and I find the browser want to get (firefox in french for my case) 2 scripts:

    http:///fr/charset.js

    http:///fr/re_preflight.js

    But there isn't any record of en flash: / C3560...

    So I changed the preferred language in firefox (put English first). Reload the Web page and it works very well ;)

    I hope this will help you

    Thank you

  • How to restrict Internet access by using the RADIUS server via switch Catalyst 3560

    Dear all,

    I need a configuration using any. I have a small network of 15 users a 3560, which is in turn connected to a router ISR 2811. Interface fastethernet 0/24 switch 3560 I intend to connect to a unix based server RADIUS. ISP is connected on the opposite side of the 2811 to the fa0/0 interface.

    I want to make is that if someone among the 15 users tries to access the internet, they must be validated in the RADIUS server by their pre-configured user credentials. (I'm going to store 15 user credentials here). If someone else tries to connect (except those 15) he or she should be denied internet access.

    The RADIUS server will be having a login page to type the name of user and password.

    Please guide based on what commands I should inject into the 3560 or what specifically, I need to have to run this task.

    Thanks in advance!

    Samrat.

    I only did this in a very long time, but you probably want to do is activate the web authentication.

  • Catalyst express 520 and NAC

    Hi all,

    I'm having a problem saving some ws-ce520-24pc-k9 in my v4.9 (1) Server NAC, I finished all the configuration of snmp and when I join the switch at the NAC, it is added ok but when I try to manage the ports to add to a port profile, nothing is show at the NAC, I mean that there are no ports in this device.

    Has anyone written an express catalyst with a NAC solution?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Alfonso,

    Please consult this guide to ensure that you are running supported software versions:

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/security/NAC/appliance/support_guide/switch_spt.html#wp117826

    You can try to start debugging on the Manager and the file nacmanager.log to see why the switch does not send ports.

    Any page we create in Business Catalyst admin is saved with a .htm extension, but I would have preferred a .html extension.  Is it possible to set this up?

    British Colombia, by default, the file can be .htm, but which is not returned on your site by default will have no file extension (url path to clean the nice)

    Watch below a page name, you will see the URL for example for this page - clean, no file extension to all. You can change the url and put in .html French - but you have not to good to not do as well.

  • Can I play a section of a file, but not to make a choice?

    Just a newbie here, I realize that I can make a selection of a portion of a clip and choose "loop" but who is unwittingly played until it stops, and also, one false move and the selection disappears and there once again. I work in the creation and there may be a point of 'in' and 'out' that isolates a section of an item and a keyboard command allows me to play from point to point. "Y at - it something similar in hearing where, say, I could place two markers to start and finish a section" I want to review and work that would allow me to play from "marker marker?

    The closest thing I can think to do that would make a selection and then copy this selection in a new window where I could work on it.

    You can place a marker you want, simply by pressing F8 when the cursor is where you want to place. All operations of normal marker are available when you have done this, but just place the markers is not usually enough. They are especially more use during the conversion to cue ranges, which you can do in the marker window. Indeed, within hearing, markers are useful enough and powerful enough. Once you have created a few benchmarks, go to the part of markers (by default on the left of the screen, somewhere in the second group down, although you can change this option if you want), and you get the options to make the ranges, names, etc. Once you have a beach created, just clicking on the range name in the list will highlight it in the waveform display. Hit another range will move the highlight to the new. Just play with it a bit, and you'll soon get the hang of it. In addition, you can drag the markers with the mouse, if you are not satisfied with the position of them - all in the list of markers is automatically updated when you do this.

    Anyway, once you have done so, you can add a range of markers to the playlist. If you select it in there and click on the 'Play' button boy above him, you're going to play the range between the markers with nothing highlighted.
