Quick Tour
The Catalyst Express 520 switches are designed to be
• Smart—Each switch port is applied with a specific Cisco-recommended
configuration (referred to as a Smartports port role) to optimize the switch
connections and to ensure security, transmission quality, and reliability for
traffic from the switch ports.
• Simple—Setup of the switch can be through a connection to an existing
network with a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, such
as a Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series, or through the Express Setup
feature of the switch device manager GUI.
• Secure—The switch supports three levels of business-optimized network
security. Traffic between the switch and the network management
applications is also encrypted through the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
protocol.
