The Cisco Small Business SG200-08P is an 8-port Gigabit smart switch that offers a secure and reliable foundation for a small business network. It provides eight 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, with four of them supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE). The PoE ports have a total power budget of 32W, which is sufficient to power devices like IP phones, wireless access points, or surveillance cameras, simplifying installation and reducing the need for separate power sources. As a smart switch, it offers a balance between the simplicity of an unmanaged switch and the advanced features of a fully managed one. You can configure and manage the switch through a web-based interface, which is intuitive and easy to use. The SG200-08P includes essential Layer 2 features such as VLANs for network segmentation and Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize critical network traffic. It also features a range of security features, including port security and 802.1X authentication, to protect the network from unauthorized access. . The switch is designed to be energy-efficient and reliable, making it an excellent choice for a small office network that needs more than basic connectivity but doesn't require the complexity of a full-fledged managed switch.
