The Cisco Catalyst 3560 v 2 Series is the next-generation energy-efficient Layer 3 fast Ethernet switches. This new series of switches supports Cisco Energy Wise technology, which enables companies to measure & manage power consumption of network infrastructure & network-attached devices, thereby reducing their energy costs & their carbon footprint. The Cisco Catalyst 3560 v 2 Series consumes less power than its predecessors & is the ideal access layer switch for enterprise, retail, & branch-office environments, as it maximizes productivity & investment protection by enabling a unified network for data, voice, & video. Cisco Catalyst 3560 v 2 Series Highlights -Lower power consumption than its predecessors. -Backward compatible
- uses the same Cisco IOS Software image as the 3560 series & has the same feature set. -Full Energy Wise support to monitor energy consumption of network infrastructure & implement energy saving programs to reduce energy costs. -Compatible with Cisco Redundant Power System (RPS) 2300. -All units have a uniform depth of 11.9 inches for better cable management. -Preconfigurable with the Cisco IOS Software release at the time of ordering. -IPv 6 routing included in the IP Services feature set. -DC powered st&-alone model. Cisco Catalyst 3560 v 2 Series Software The Cisco Catalyst 3560 v 2 Series can be purchased with the IP Base or IP Services licenses preinstalled. The IP Base license offers advanced Qo S, rate limiting, ACLs, & basic static & Routing Information Protocol (RIP) routing functions. The IP Services license provides a richer set of enterprise-class features, including advanced hardware-based IP unicast & IP Multicast routing as well as policy-based routing (PBR). The Advanced IP Services license, which
Includes:: IPv 6 routing & IPv 6 ACL support, is now included in the IP Services license. Upgrade licenses are available to upgrade a switch from the IP Base license to the IP Services license. Configurable Cisco IOS Software The Cisco Catalyst 3560 v 2 Series can be preconfigured with a specific Cisco IOS Software release at the time of ordering. This option eliminates the need to reload a specific Cisco IOS Software release during deployment, thereby reducing deployment time & cost. The Cisco IOS Software release to be preloaded can be selected from a list of supported Cisco IOS Software releases, including the crypto version. Cisco Energy Wise The Cisco Catalyst 3560 v 2 series support Cisco Energy Wise, which is a technology that enables monitoring, reporting, & management of energy consumption by end devices that are Cisco Energy Wise enabled. This technology enables companies to reduce their energy cost & carbon footprint. These are some of the Energy Wise features available: -Discover all Cisco Energy Wise enabled devices on the network. -Monitor & report power consumption by these devices. -Implement business rules to control power to these end devices. Power over Ethernet The Cisco Catalyst 3560 v 2 Series can provide a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for deployments that incorporate Cisco IP phones, Cisco Aironet wireless LAN (WLAN) access points, or any IEEE 802.3af-compliant end device. Po E eliminates the need for wall power outlets for each Po E-enabled device & significantly reduces the cost for additional electrical cabling that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone & WLAN deployments. The Cisco Catalyst 3560 v 2 24-port Po E switch can support Class 3 Po E or 15.4W of Po E power on all 24 ports. Taking advantage of Cisco Catalyst Intelligent Power Management, the Cisco Catalyst 3560 v 2 48-port Po E configurations can deliver the necessary power to support 24 ports at 15.4W, 48 ports at 7.7W, or any combination in between. Maximum power availability for a converged voice & data network is attainable when a Cisco Catalyst 3560 v 2 series switch is combined with the Cisco Redundant Power System 2300 (RPS 2300) for protection against internal power supply failures & an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system to safeguard against power outages. Redundant Power System The Cisco Catalyst 3560 v 2 Series access switches support the new generation of Cisco RPS 2300, which increases availability in a converged data, voice, & video network by providing transparent power backup to two of six attached Cisco Catalyst 3560 v 2 Series Switches at the same time. The Cisco Catalyst 3560 v 2 Series switches are capable of reverting back to their internal power supply without any service interruption. In addition, the RPS 2300 can be managed via a Cisco Catalyst 3560 v 2 Series switch that is connected to the RPS 2300.
