COMPACT, EASY-TO-MANAGE SWITCHING

The small business landscape is going through a transformation, with established and emerging enterprises
seeking to do more with less. From optimized resource allocation, efficiency across processes, to accelerating
their ROI by focusing on the core business, today’s organizations need a competitive edge in every aspect.

In this new business environment, organizations need:

 Reliable, easy-to-manage technology that lets you focus on your business
 Advanced security features that prevent network breaches
 Optimized enterprise network applications to enhance productivity

What Business Want

Switches Optimized for Small Deployments

<<PartnerName>> is pleased to propose Cisco Catalyst® 1000 Series switches, providing enterprise-grade
network access for small businesses and branch offices, who need a network that is user friendly, reliable, and
can be easily deployed. These switches provide reliability, ideal for critical Internet of Things (IoT)
deployments.

The proposed switches are easy to manage and provide the performance that modern small office need. These
switches have a wide range of Power over Ethernet (PoE) and port combinations which can be used to stack
switches across wiring closets on different floors of a building or across different buildings in a campus.

Essentially, this wide range of options means you can place the proposed switches almost anywhere for an
uncomplicated, modern network.

THE PROPOSED CISCO CATALYST 1000 SERIES SWITCHES

ADVANTAGE
The proposed Cisco® Catalyst 1000 Series switches provide simplicity, flexibility, and security for networks of
10 to 250 users with little IT support. Management is made simple with an intuitive Web UI. The wide range of
options in compact, fanless, and with PoE designs offers an uncomplicated, modern network. The proposed
switches raise the standard for essential network access.

These switches are enterprise-grade, Layer 2 GbE network switches that operate on Cisco IOS® Software and
support simple device management and network management using a Command-Line Interface (CLI) as well as
an on-box Web UI. They deliver enhanced network security, network reliability, and operational efficiency.

PROPOSED CISCO CATALYST 1000 SERIES SWITCHES

BENEFITS
The following table describes how the proposed solution can help you achieve your business objectives.
<<PartnerName>> offers the Cisco products mentioned below.

Desired Business Outcome How We Can Make It Happen

Operational and management
simplicity
Enhanced security
• Web UI: Provides a user interface for day-zero provisioning, which enables
easy onboarding of the switch. It also has an intuitive dashboard for
configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting the switch.
• Bluetooth: Supports an external Bluetooth dongle that plugs into the USB port
on the switch and allows a Bluetooth-based RF connection with external
laptops and tablets. Laptops and tablets can access the switch CLI using a
Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) client over Bluetooth. The GUI can be accessed
over Bluetooth with a browser.
• Secure boot: Secure boot anchors the first code executed on a Cisco platform
in immutable hardware, establishing a root of trust and preventing Cisco
network devices from executing tainted network software.
• Image signing: Digitally signed images provide assurance that firmware,
Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), and other software are authentic and
unmodified. Signed images may be checked at runtime to verify that the
software has not been modified.

 • Trust Anchor module (TAm): A proprietary, tamper-resistant chip that
provides non-volatile secure storage, random number generator (RNG)
services, and a Secure Unique Identifier (SUDI) digital certificate for platform
identity and counterfeit protection.
• Runtime defenses: Runtime defenses protect against injection of malicious
code into running software, making it harder or impossible for attackers to
exploit vulnerabilities.
• Hardware authenticity check: A process that uses the X.509 SUDI certificate
in the TAm to verify that the hardware is authentic—i.e., manufactured by
Cisco. This check runs after the secure boot process has been completed and
the software has been verified to be trusted.
• Secure storage: The secure storage capability of the TAm is used to store
sensitive information that is accessible via APIs. SSL authentication
certificates—for example, may be stored in the TAm.

PROPOSED CISCO CATALYST 1000 SERIES SWITCHES
DETAILS
<<PartnerName>>’s proposed Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series switches provide a range of network security features
to limit access to the network and mitigate threats including multilevel security on console access, web
authentication redirection, and ACLs. These switches offer several redundancy and resiliency features to
prevent outages and help ensure the network remains available. In addition, the proposed switches offer an
enhanced QoS which provides intelligent traffic management that keeps everything flowing smoothly—flexible
mechanisms for marking, classifying, and scheduling deliver superior performance for data, voice, and video
traffic, all at wire speed.

Switch Management
Featuring an intuitive dashboard for configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting the switch, the Web UI, via
Cisco Configuration Professional, provides UI for day zero provisioning, enabling easy onboarding. Over-the-
air access, the switches support an external Bluetooth dongle, enabling Bluetooth-based RF connection with
external laptops and tablets.

Network Management and Security

The proposed Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series offers a superior CLI for detailed configuration and administration.
They also offer a range of security features to limit access to the network and mitigate threats.

Intelligent PoE+
The proposed Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series switches support both IEEE 802.3af PoE and IEEE 802.3at PoE+ to
deliver a lower TCO for deployments that incorporate Cisco IP phones, Cisco Aironet® and Cisco Catalyst
wireless access points, or other standards-compliant PoE and PoE+ end devices. PoE removes the need to
supply wall power to PoE-enabled devices and eliminates the cost of adding electrical cabling and circuits that
would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and WLAN deployments.

The PoE power allocation in the proposed Cisco Catalyst 1000 Series switches is dynamic and offers scalable
power mapping. Intelligent power management allows flexible power allocation across all ports. With Perpetual
PoE, the PoE+ power is maintained during a switch reload. This is important for critical endpoints such as
medical devices and for IoT endpoints such as PoE-powered lights, so that there is no disruption during a switch
reboot.

Redundancy and Resiliency

To ensure network availability and 100 percent uptime, the proposed Catalyst 1000 Series switches come with
built-in redundancy and resiliency features, such as: IEEE 802.1s/w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), Per-VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree (PVRST+), Switch-port auto-
recovery (error disable), and Link state tracking.

Energy Management
Industry-leading features like loop detection, AutoConfig, Auto SmartPorts, and Smart Troubleshooting provide
more visibility in networks and simplify configuration setting and troubleshooting. The IEEE 802.3az Energy
Efficient Ethernet (EEE) lets ports to dynamically sense idle periods between traffic bursts, to quickly switch
the interfaces to low-power idle mode, reducing the energy consumption.

Operational Simplicity and Enhanced QoS

By automating most of the processes, including dynamic configurations, the proposed Catalyst Series simplifies
operations, making them more efficient across the portfolio. These switches offer intelligent traffic
management, keeping everything running smoothly. Flexible mechanisms for marking, classifying, and
scheduling deliver superior performance data, voice, and video traffic.
