Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Cisco CBS 250 Series Switch. The Cisco CBS 250 Series Switches are the next

generation of affordable smart switches that combine powerful network performance and reliability with a

complete suite of network features that you need for a solid business network. These expandable Gigabit

Ethernet switches, with Gigabit or 10-Gigabit uplinks, provide multiple management options, rich security

capabilities, and Layer-3 static routing features far beyond those of an unmanaged or consumer-grade switch,

at a lower cost than fully managed switches. With an easy-to-use web user interface, Smart Network

Application, and Power over Ethernet Plus capability, you can deploy and configure a complete business

network in minutes.

Before You Begin

Before you begin installing your device, ensure that the following items are available:

• RJ-45 Ethernet cables for connecting network devices. A category 6a and higher cable is required for

10G ports; a category 5e and higher cable is required for all other ports.

• Tools for installing the hardware.

• The rack-mount kit packed with the switch contains four rubber feet for desktop placement, and

two brackets and twelve screws for rackmounting.

• If the supplied screws are lost, use replacement screws in the following size:

• Diameter of the screw head: 6.9 mm

• Length of face of screw head to base of screw: 5.9 mm
