Cisco Catalyst C1000-16P-2G-L 16-Port PoE+ Rack-mountable Managed Switch

Cisco C1000-16P-2G-L Managed Stackable 16 Port Gigabit Switch
The Cisco C1000-16P-2G-L 16-Port Managed Stackable Gigabit PoE+ Switch is designed for small businesses and branch offices. It is a simple, flexible and secure switch ideal for out-of-the-wiring-closet and critical Internet of Things (IoT) deployments. The C1000-16P-2G-L operates on Cisco IOS Software and supports simple device management and network management via a Command-Line Interface (CLI) as well as an on-box web UI. This switch delivers enhanced network security, network reliability, and operational efficiency for small organisations.

Key Features

• Sixteen (16) PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet ports.
• Two (2) fixed 1 Gigabit Ethernet Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) ports.
• Perpetual PoE+ support with a power budget of up to 120W.
• CLI and/or intuitive web UI manageability options.
• Network monitoring through sampled flow (sFlow)
• Security with 802.1X support for connected devices, Switched Port Analyser (SPAN), and Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) Guard.
• Device management support with over-the-air access via Bluetooth, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), RJ45, or USB console access.
• Reliability with a higher Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and an Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty support (E-LLW).

Switch Management

Web UI via Cisco Configuration Professional
Cisco Configuration Professional provides a user interface for day-zero provisioning, which enables easy onboarding of the switch. It also has an intuitive dashboard for configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting the switch.

Bluetooth for over-the-air access
The C1000-16P-2G-L supports an external Bluetooth dongle (sold separately) that plugs into the USB port on the switch and allows a Bluetooth-based RF connection with external laptops and tablets. Laptops and tablets can access the switch CLI using a Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) client over Bluetooth. The GUI can be accessed over Bluetooth with a browser.

Intelligent PoE+
The C1000-16P-2G-L supports both IEEE 802.3af PoE and IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (up to 30W per port) to deliver a lower total cost of ownership for deployments that incorporate Cisco IP phones, Cisco Aironet and Catalyst wireless access points (sold separately), or other standards-compliant PoE and PoE+ end devices. PoE removes the need to supply wall power to PoE-enabled devices and eliminates the cost of adding electrical cabling and circuits that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and WLAN deployments.

The PoE power allocation in this C1000-16P-2G-L switch is dynamic, and power mapping scales up to a maximum of 120W of PoE+ power. Intelligent power management allows flexible power allocation across all ports. With Perpetual PoE, the PoE+ power is maintained during a switch reload. This is important for critical endpoints such as medical devices and for IoT endpoints such as PoE-powered lights, so that there is no disruption during a switch reboot.
