Designed for small- to medium-size businesses, the Cisco Catalyst C1300-12XT-2X 12-Port 10G Managed Network Switch delivers high-bandwidth connections to computers, access points, and other network devices. It features twelve RJ45 Ethernet ports, each of which support up to 10 Gb/s transfers with compatible devices. There are also two 10G SFP+ slots available for fiber uplinks.
This rack-mountable managed switch delivers smooth performance with a 280 Gb/s switching capacity and 208.33 Mpps forwarding rate. It also includes advanced Layer 3 features and strong security. Front panel stacking support allows you to manage up to eight switches as though they were one virtual switch. A low-noise cooling fan helps to maintain optimal temperatures.
Cisco Business Dashboard
The Cisco Business Dashboard is designed to manage Cisco Business switches, routers, and wireless access points. It simplifies traditional challenges in deploying and managing business networks while automating the deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management of the network. The 1300 Series switches support an embedded probe as well as direct management, eliminating the need to set up a separate hardware or virtual machine onsite. The device onboarding wizard simplifies the setup and onboarding of new devices to the network.
High Reliability and Resiliency
The Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series Switches support dual images, allowing you to perform software upgrades with minimal network downtime.
Strong Security
Support for advanced network security applications such as IEEE 802.1X and port security tightly limits access to specific segments of your network. Advanced defense mechanisms, including dynamic Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) inspection, IP Source Guard, and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snooping, detect and block deliberate network attacks.
IPv6 support
As the IP address scheme evolves to accommodate a growing number of network devices, the Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series Switches can support the transition to the next generation of networking. These switches continue to support previous-generation IPv4, allowing you to evolve to the new IPv6 standard at your own pace and helping ensure that your current network will continue to support your business applications in the future.
Advanced Layer 3 Traffic Management
The Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series Switches enable a more advanced set of traffic management capabilities to help growing businesses organize their networks more effectively and efficiently. For example, the switches provide dynamic Layer 3 routing, allowing you to segment your network into workgroups and communicate across VLANs without degrading application performance.
Front Panel Stacking
This switch supports Front Panel Stacking for up to eight switches, allowing you to configure, manage, and troubleshoot all switches in a stack as a single unit with a single IP address.
Compact Design
The sleek and compact design for the Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series Switches provides additional deployment flexibility, including installation outside the wiring closet for sites such as retail stores, open-plan offices, and classrooms without disturbing the environment.
