Features and Benefits
Cisco ESW2 Series Switches provide the advanced feature set that growing businesses require, and that high-
bandwidth applications and technologies demand. These switches can improve the availability of your critical
applications, protect your business information, and optimize your network bandwidth to more effectively deliver
information and support applications. The switches provide the following benefits.
Easy Deployment and Use
Cisco ESW2 Series Switches are designed to be easy to use and manage by SMBs or the partners that serve
them. They feature:
Simple-to-use graphical interfaces reduce the time required to deploy, troubleshoot, and manage the
network and allow you to support sophisticated capabilities without increasing IT head count.
The switches also support Textview, a full command-line interface (CLI) option for partners that prefer it.
Using Auto Smartports intelligence, the switch can detect a network device connected to any port and
automatically configure the optimal security, quality of service (QoS), and availability on that port.
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) discovers Cisco devices and allows devices to share critical configuration
information, simplifying network setup and integration.
Support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows you to set up and manage your switches
and other Cisco devices remotely from a network management station, improving IT workflow and mass
configurations.
The Cisco FindIT utility, which works through a simple toolbar on the user’s web browser, discovers Cisco
devices in the network and displays basic information, such as serial numbers and IP addresses, to aid in
configuration and deployment. (For more information, and to download this free utility, please visit

Data Center and Mobile Switching Center Optimized Solution
Cisco ESW2 Series Switches are designed for deployment in data center and mobile switching centers. They feature:
Power delivered at –48V DC, enabling deployments common for data center and mobile switching centers.
Flexible and field-changeable fan options to accommodate data center hot/cold aisle needs.
Wire-speed, non-blocking performance, with large packet buffer sizes to deliver optimal network performance.
