A true stack delivers a unified data and control plane, in addition to a management plane, providing flexibility, scalability, and ease of use because the stack of units operates as a single entity constituting all the ports of the stack members. The switch also protects your technology investment with an enhanced warranty, dedicated technical support, and the ability to upgrade equipment in the future

Features

High-Performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet

The Cisco SG550X-24 Ghana breaks the barrier of 10 Gigabit Ethernet adoption by providing affordable and flexible configurations customized for the demanding network requirements of small and medium businesses. With 10G copper ports on SG550XG switches, you can easily and cost-effectively enable 10G connections to servers and network storage devices with standard RJ45 Ethernet cable. You can also connect Cisco SG550X-24 Ghana access switch to the SG550XG aggregation with 10G SFP+ fiber, building a high-performance backbone to speed up the overall operation of your network.

High Reliability and Resiliency

The Cisco SG550X-24 Ghana switch provides an additional layer of resiliency with support for the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). VRRP lets you extend the same resiliency that stacking provides for individual switches to complete network domains. By running VRRP between two stacks, you can instantly cut over from one stack to another in the event of a problem and continue operating even after a failure. The Cisco SG550X-24 Ghana also supports dual images, allowing you to perform software upgrades without having to take the network offline or worry about the network going down during the upgrade.

Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) and 60W PoE

The Cisco SG550X-24 Ghana switch supports the Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) standard (IEEE 802.3at), providing up to 30 watts per port. The switches also support 60W PoE on selected ports to power compact switches, high-power wireless access points, or connected lighting. The power is managed in a smart fashion such that only the amount of power the endpoint needs is delivered to it and not wasted. As a result, the switches can support devices that require more power, such as 802.11ac wireless access points, video-based IP phones, surveillance cameras, and more. PoE capabilities simplify the deployment of advanced technologies by allowing you to connect and power network endpoints over a single Ethernet cable, without having to install separate power supplies. The Cisco SG550X-24 Ghana switch is also fully backward compatible with IEEE 802.11af PoE and Cisco legacy PoE protocols.

Power Efficiency

The Cisco SG550X-24 Ghana switch integrates a variety of power-saving features across all models, providing the industry’s most extensive energy-efficient switching portfolio. These switches are designed to conserve energy by optimizing power use, which helps protects the environment and reduce your energy costs. They provide an eco-friendly network solution without compromising performance. Cisco 550X Series switches feature:

  • Support for the Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) standard, which reduces energy consumption by monitoring the amount of traffic on an active link and putting the link into a sleep state during quiet periods
  • The latest application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), which use low-power 28- or 40-nanometer technology and low-power, high-performance ARM CPUs
  • Automatic power shutoff on ports when a link is down
  • LEDs that can be turned off to save power
  • Embedded intelligence to adjust signal strength based on the length of the connecting cable
  • Smart fans in which fan speed is automatically adjusted according to switch temperature to decrease acoustic noise and save power

Advanced Stacking

The Cisco SG550X-24 Ghana provides true stacking capability, allowing you to configure, manage, and troubleshoot all switches in a stack as a single unit, with a single IP address for up to a maximum of 400 Ethernet ports. A true stack delivers a unified data and control plane, in addition to management plane, providing flexibility, scalability, and ease of use because the stack of units operates as a single entity constituting all the ports of the stack members. This capability can radically reduce complexity in a growing network environment while improving the resiliency and availability of network applications. True stacking also provides other cost savings and administrative benefits through features such as cross-stack QoS, VLANs, LAGs, and port mirroring, which clustered switches cannot support. Using standard 10G fiber or copper connections, Cisco SG550X-24 Ghana supports both local and horizontal stacking deployments and the flexibility of ring or chain topology. The switches also have the capability to use link aggregation port as the stacking port, providing even higher stacking bandwidth for demanding applications.

  • Configuration wizards simplify the most common configuration tasks and provide the ultimate tool for anyone to easily set up and manage the network.
  • The switches also support Textview, a full command-line interface (CLI) option for customers or partners that prefer it.
  • The USB port on the switch enables easy image and configuration transfer for faster deployment or upgrade.
  • Using Auto Smart ports intelligence, the switch can detect a network device connected to any port and automatically configure the optimal security, quality of service (QoS), and availability on that port.
  • Cisco Discovery Protocol discovers Cisco devices and allows devices to share critical configuration information, simplifying network setup and integration.
  • Support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows you to set up and manage your switches and other Cisco devices remotely from a network management station, improving IT workflow and mass configurations.
  • The Cisco FindIT utility, which works through a simple toolbar on the user’s web browser, discovers Cisco devices in the network and displays basic information, such as serial numbers and IP addresses, to aid in configuration and deployment.

Simplified IT Operation

Cisco SG550X-24 Ghana switch help optimize your IT operations with built-in features that simplify day-to-day network operation:

  • True stacking allows you to configure, manage, and troubleshoot multiple physical switches as a single entity.
  • Cisco switches use common chipsets/software across all switching portfolios, so all Cisco switches within a series support the same feature set, making it easier to manage and support all switches across the network.

Strong Security

Cisco SG550X-24 Ghana provides the advanced security features you need to protect your business data and keep unauthorized users off the network:

  • Embedded Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption protects management data traveling to and from the switch.
  • Extensive access control lists (ACLs) restrict sensitive portions of the network to keep out unauthorized users and guard against network attacks.
  • Guest VLANs let you provide Internet connectivity to nonemployee users while isolating critical business services from guest traffic.
  • Support for advanced network security applications such as IEEE 802.1X port security tightly limits access to specific segments of your network. Web-based authentication provides a consistent interface to authenticate all types of host devices and operating systems, without the complexity of deploying IEEE 802.1X clients on each endpoint.
  • 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. Combinations of these protocols are also referred to as IP-MAC port binding (IPMB).
  • IPv6 First Hop Security extends the advanced threat protection to IPv6. This comprehensive security suite includes ND inspection, RA guard, DHCPv6 guard, and neighbor binding integrity check, providing unparalleled protection against a vast range of address spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks on IPv6 networks.
  • Time-based ACLs and port operation restrict access to the network during predesignated times, such as business hours.
  • Uniform MAC address-based security can be applied automatically to mobile users as they roam between wireless access points.
  • Secure Core Technology (SCT) helps ensure that the switch is able to process management traffic in the face of a denial-of-service (DoS) attack.
  • Private VLAN provides Layer 2 isolation between devices on the same VLAN.
  • Storm control can be applied to broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast traffic.
  • Protection of management sessions is possible using RADIUS, TACACS+, and local database authentication as well as secure management sessions over SSL, SSH, and SNMPv3.
  • DoS attack prevention maximizes network uptime in the presence of an attack.

Advanced Layer 3 Traffic Management

The Cisco SG550X-24 Ghana enables a more advanced set of traffic management capabilities to help growing businesses organize their networks more effectively and efficiently. For example, the switches provide static Layer 3 routing, allowing you to segment your network into workgroups and communicate across VLANs without degrading application performance. With these capabilities, you can boost the efficiency of your network by offloading internal traffic-handling tasks from your router and allowing it to manage primarily external traffic and security. Additionally, Cisco SG550X-24 Ghana provides dynamic Layer 3 routing features. With these capabilities, you can minimize the need to manually configure routing devices and simplify the ongoing operation of the network.

IPv6 Support

As the IP address scheme evolves to accommodate a growing number of network devices Cisco SG550X-24 Ghana switch can support the transition to the next generation of networking and operating systems. 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. Cisco 550X Series switches have successfully completed rigorous IPv6 testing and have received the USGv6 and IPv6 Gold certification.

Networkwide Automatic Voice Deployment

Using a combination of Cisco Discovery Protocol, LLDP-MED, Auto Smart ports, and Voice Services Discovery Protocol (VSDP, a unique Cisco protocol), customers can deploy an end-to-end voice network dynamically. The Cisco SG550X-24 Ghana switch network automatically converge around a single voice VLAN and QoS parameters and then propagate them out to the phones on the ports where they are discovered. For example, automated voice VLAN capabilities let you plug any IP phone (including third-party phones) into your IP telephony network and receive an immediate dial tone. The switch automatically configures the device with the right VLAN and QoS parameters to prioritize voice traffic.

Port mirroring Traffic on a port or LAG can be mirrored to another port for analysis with a network analyzer or RMON probe. Up to 8 source ports can be mirrored to one destination port.
VLAN mirroring Traffic from a VLAN can be mirrored to a port for analysis with a network analyzer or RMON probe. Up to 8 source VLANs can be mirrored to one destination port.
Flow-based redirection and mirroring Redirect or mirror traffic to a destination port or mirroring session based on flow
Remote Switch Port Analyzer (RSPAN) Traffic can be mirrored across Layer 2 domain to a remote port on a different switch for easier troubleshooting
sFlow agent Switch can export sFlow sample to external collectors. sFlow provides visibility into network traffic down to flow level.
DHCP (Options 12, 66, 67, 82, 129, and 150) DHCP options facilitate tighter control from a central point (DHCP Server), to obtain IP address, auto configuration (with configuration file download), DHCP Relay, and host name.
Auto configuration with Secure Copy (SCP) file download Enables secure mass deployment with protection of sensitive data.
Text-editable configs Config files can be edited with a text editor and downloaded to another switch, facilitating easier mass deployment.
Smartports Simplified configuration of QoS and security capabilities.
Auto Smartports Automatically applies the intelligence delivered through the Smartports roles to the port based on the devices discovered over Cisco Discovery Protocol or LLDP-MED. This facilitates zero touch deployments.

Green (Power Efficiency)
Energy Detect
  • Automatically turns power off on Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 port when detecting link down.
  • Active mode is resumed without loss of any packets when the switch detects the link is up.
Cable length detection Adjusts the signal strength based on the cable length. Reduces the power consumption for shorter cables.
EEE compliant (802.3az) Supports IEEE 802.3az on all Gigabit copper ports.
Disable port LEDs LEDs can be manually turned off to save on energy.
General
Jumbo frames Frame sizes up to 9K bytes. The default MTU is 2K.
MAC table
  • 64K addresses on SG550XG models.
  • 16K addresses on all other models.
Discovery
Bonjour The switch advertises itself using the Bonjour protocol.
LLDP (802.1ab) with LLDP-MED extensions Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) allows the switch to advertise its identification, configuration, and capabilities to neighboring devices that store the data in a MIB. LLDP-MED is an enhancement to LLDP that adds the extensions needed for IP phones.
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) The switch advertises itself using the Cisco Discovery Protocol. It also learns the connected device and its characteristics using Cisco Discovery Protocol.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The following switches support 802.3at PoE+, 802.3af PoE, and Cisco prestandard (legacy) PoE on any of the RJ45 network ports. 60W PoE is also supported on selected RJ-45 network ports.
Maximum power of 60W is delivered to any of the 60W PoE ports, and maximum power of 30W is delivered to any of the other RJ45 network ports, until the PoE budget for the switch is reached.
The total power available for PoE per switch is as follows.
