Cisco Catalyst 3550 Series Intelligent Ethernet
Switches
The Cisco Catalyst 3550 Series Intelligent Ethernet
Switches is a line of enterprise-class, stackable, multilayer switches that provide high
availability, scalability, security and control to enhance the operation of the network. With
a range of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet configurations, the Catalyst 3550 Series can
serve as both a powerful access layer switch for medium enterprise wiring closets and as a
backbone switch for small networks. Now customers can deploy network-wide intelligent
services, such as advanced quality of service, rate-limiting, Cisco security access control
lists, multicast management, and high-performance IP routing—while maintaining the
traditional LAN switching.
