Cisco Catalyst 1300 C1300-48FP-4G - Managed switch, White

The Cisco Catalyst 1300 C1300-48FP-4G 48-Port Gigabit PoE Managed Switch provides Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing and switching for business networks. It features 48 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports, all supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) for devices such as surveillance cameras and wireless access points. Four additional 1G SFP slots provide dedicated uplink connections for fibre or core networking equipment, leaving the primary copper ports free. A 1400 MHz processor handles routing and traffic management, allowing administrators to manage both data connectivity and device power from a single platform.

Housed in a white metal chassis, the switch includes several security and traffic management tools. Administrators can monitor and segment traffic using VLANs and IGMP snooping. Security is managed via Access Control Lists (ACLs), ARP inspection, and DHCP snooping to protect against unauthorised access. The switch supports 9000-byte jumbo frames for large data transfers, and Quality of Service (QoS) controls allow for traffic prioritisation. Configuration and maintenance are performed via a web-based interface or command-line interface (CLI), both secured by SSH, SSL, and HTTPS.

• Link aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad) to bundle network connections for increased bandwidth and redundancy.
• Broadcast storm control and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to prevent network loops and maintain stability.
• MAC address filtering to restrict port access to approved hardware.
• 1024 MB of internal memory and 512 MB of flash storage for routing tables and firmware.
• Port mirroring to direct traffic to a network analyser for diagnostics and troubleshooting.
