The Cisco Business 250 Series CBS250-24PP-4G-EU Smart Managed Switch (24-port Gigabit PoE, 4x SFP) manages Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic in small to medium-sized businesses. It features 24 Gigabit RJ-45 ports and provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power devices such as wireless access points and security cameras. The unit includes four dedicated SFP slots for fiber uplinks and backbone expansion.

The switch supports up to 255 active VLANs and includes Quality of Service (QoS) protocols for traffic prioritisation. Security features include Secure Shell (SSH) access, SSL/TLS encryption, and ARP inspection to prevent network spoofing. A USB 2.0 port is included for local management and firmware upgrades.
