Cisco Catalyst 1300 C1300-48MGP-4X - Managed switch, Grey

The Cisco Catalyst 1300 48-Port PoE+ Managed Switch is a Layer 2/Layer 3 device for corporate network segmentation and local connectivity. This rack-mountable unit features 32 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports and 16 additional 2.5G copper ports, supporting a mix of standard network endpoints and higher-bandwidth hardware. The 224 Gbit/s switching capacity manages traffic across the array to prevent internal bottlenecks. As a PoE-capable switch, it delivers power directly over network cables to devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones. Two built-in SFP module slots provide uplinks for connection to broader network infrastructure.

Network administrators can configure the hardware via a standard web-based interface or a secure command-line interface. Security protocols restrict unauthorized access using MAC-based and web-based authentication, alongside encrypted remote connections including SSH and HTTPS. Traffic management uses a Weighted Round Robin (WRR) algorithm across eight hardware queues to prioritize critical data. Built-in Layer 3 functionality enables direct inter-network communication with support for up to 990 static routes. Administrators can also isolate specific endpoint groups or voice traffic using Private and Voice VLAN configurations.

• Access Control List (ACL) functionality for up to 1,024 rules to enforce network policies.
• MAC address table with 16,000 entries for large-scale campus environments.
• Jumbo frame compatibility for payloads up to 9,000 bytes, optimizing large file transfers on the local area network.
• Integrated DHCP server, client, relay, and snooping to automate IP address assignment and validation.
• Internal architecture with 1,000 MB of DDR4-SDRAM and 512 MB of flash memory for stable firmware execution.
