The Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series is an affordable product line that brings intelligent services, such as enhancedsecurity, high availability, and advanced quality of service (QoS), to the network edge—while maintaining the simplicity of traditional LANswitching.Embedded in all Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series switches is the Cisco Device Manager software, which allows users to easily configure and monitor theswitch using a standard Web browser, eliminating the need for more complex terminal emulation programs and knowledge of the command-lineinterface (CLI). Customers can easily initialize the switch with web-based Cisco Express Setup, without using the CLI. In addition, with CiscoNetwork Assistant, a standalone network management software, customers can simultaneously configure and troubleshoot multiple Cisco Catalystdesktop switches. Cisco Device Manager, Cisco Express Setup, and Cisco Network Assistant reduce the cost of deployment by enabling less-skilledpersonnel to set up switches quickly. Furthermore, Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series switches provide extensive management tools using Simple NetworkManagement Protocol (SNMP) network management platforms such as CiscoWorks.This product line offers two distinct sets of software features and several configurations to allow small, medium-sized, and enterprise branch officesto select the right combination for the network edge. Cisco Standard Image software offers Cisco IOS®Software capabilities for basic data, voice,and video services. For networks that require additional security, advanced QoS, and high availability, Cisco Enhanced Image software deliversintelligent services such as rate limiting, QoS reclassifying, and security filtering for deployment at the network edge.Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series switches consist of the following devices, which are only available with Enhanced Image software for the CiscoCatalyst 2950 Series.• Cisco Catalyst 2950G 48—48 10/100 ports and 2 Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC)-based Gigabit Ethernet ports• Cisco Catalyst 2950G 24—24 10/100 ports and 2 GBIC ports• Cisco Catalyst 2950G 24-DC—24 10/100 ports, 2 GBIC ports, DC power• Cisco Catalyst 2950G 12—12 10/100 ports and 2 GBIC ports• Cisco Catalyst 2950T 24—24 10/100 ports and 2 fixed 10/100/1000BASE-T uplink ports• Cisco Catalyst 2950C 24—24 10/100 ports and 2 fixed 100BASE-FX uplink ports
