# 1 RU standalone, fixed-configuration, managed 10/100 switch
# SI Software
This switch provides customers with a choice of connectivity options. The Catalyst 2950-24 provides 24 10/100 ports for edge connectivity respectively, customers get an extremely cost-effective solution for delivering gigabit speeds using fiber. Dual ports also provide redundancy and increased availability, as well as provide a cost-effective means for cascading switches and managing them as a cluster. This switch is ideal for education and government segments, where fiber uplinks are a requirement.
The Catalyst® 2950 Series Intelligent Ethernet Switches with EI Software are also part of the Catalyst 2590 Series switches. These fixed-configuration, stackable models bring intelligent services, such as advanced QoS, enhanced security, and high availability to the network edge—while maintaining the simplicity of traditional LAN switching. When a Catalyst 2950 Intelligent Ethernet Switch is combined with a Catalyst 3550 Series Switch, the solution enables IP routing from the edge to the core of the network. Refer to the Catalyst 2950 Series EI Data Sheet for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary interface configuration for the Cisco WS-C2950-24 switch? +
The Cisco WS-C2950-24 features 24 fixed 10/100Base-TX ports. These ports utilize RJ-45 connectors, providing standard Ethernet connectivity for desktop users and peripheral devices in a local area network environment, making it an ideal choice for basic layer 2 switching requirements in branch offices or small to medium-sized business networks.
Is the Cisco WS-C2950-24 suitable for remote network management? +
Yes, this switch supports comprehensive network management capabilities, including SNMP and Cisco Network Assistant. Administrators can manage the device remotely via a command-line interface or a web-based interface, allowing for efficient configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of network traffic without needing physical access to the hardware on-site.
Does the Cisco WS-C2950-24 support VLAN configurations? +
This managed switch fully supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, allowing network administrators to segment traffic for improved security and performance. By creating separate broadcast domains, you can isolate sensitive data traffic from standard user traffic, ensuring a more organized and protected network infrastructure across your facility.
How does the Cisco WS-C2950-24 handle network traffic prioritization? +
The WS-C2950-24 provides basic Quality of Service (QoS) features that allow for traffic classification and prioritization. By supporting multiple egress queues, the switch ensures that time-sensitive applications, such as voice-over-IP or critical data services, receive preferential bandwidth allocation, which helps maintain consistent performance even during periods of high network utilization.
What deployment scenarios are best for the Cisco WS-C2950-24? +
This model is ideally suited for wire-closet connectivity, providing reliable 10/100 Mbps access for workstations, printers, and IP-based endpoints. Its compact rack-mount design and robust feature set make it a standard choice for enterprise edge deployments where basic layer 2 switching is required to connect end-user devices to the broader corporate backbone.
Are the ports on the Cisco WS-C2950-24 auto-sensing? +
Yes, the 24 ports on this switch are auto-sensing and auto-negotiating. They automatically detect the speed and duplex settings of the connected device, ensuring seamless integration with various network adapters. This feature simplifies the deployment process by eliminating the need for manual port configuration and reducing common connectivity errors during setup.
Can the Cisco WS-C2950-24 be integrated into existing Cisco networking infrastructures? +
Absolutely. The WS-C2950-24 uses the Cisco IOS software, providing seamless integration with other Cisco routing and switching hardware. This allows for unified management and consistent policy enforcement across the network, ensuring that this switch acts as a reliable extension of your existing Cisco environment and operational procedures.
What are the physical mounting options for the Cisco WS-C2950-24? +
The unit is designed with a 1RU form factor, making it perfectly compatible with standard 19-inch server racks and enclosures.
