Overview
The Cisco®
Catalyst®
3560 Series is a line of fixed-configuration, enterprise-class switches
that include IEEE 802.3af and Cisco prestandard Power over Ethernet (PoE)
functionality in Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet configurations. The
Cisco Catalyst 3560 is an ideal access layer switch for small enterprise
LAN access or branch-office environments, combining both 10/100/1000 and
PoE configurations for maximum productivity and investment protection
while enabling the deployment of new applications such as IP telephony,
wireless access, video surveillance, building management systems, and
remote video kiosks. Customers can deploy networkwide intelligent
services-such as advanced quality of service (QoS), rate limiting,
access control lists (ACLs), multicast management, and high-performance
IP routing-while maintaining the simplicity of traditional LAN
switching. Available for the Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series at no charge,
the Cisco Network Assistant is a centralized management application that
simplifies the administration tasks for Cisco switches, routers, and
wireless access points. Cisco Network Assistant provides configuration
wizards that greatly simplify the implementation of converged networks
and intelligent network services.
