Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX Series Compact Switches |
Model Number |
WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S |
Hardware |
Small form factor; fanless design; silent operation |
The switch can be used in open workspaces and other areas that cannot tolerate equipment noise and where multiple cable runs could be difficult, expensive, and intrusive. |
Flexible mounting options |
The switch can be mounted on the wall, under a desk, rack, DIN rail, or practically anywhere they are needed. |
Cisco Multigigabit Ethernet |
With the enormous growth of 802.11ac and new wireless applications, wireless devices are driving the demand for more network bandwidth. This creates a need for a technology that supports speeds higher than 1 Gbps on all cabling infrastructure. Cisco Multigigabit Ethernet technology is a unique Cisco innovation that allows you to achieve bandwidth between speeds of 100Mbps and 10 Gbps over traditional Cat 5e cabling or above. In addition, the Multigigabit ports on the Cisco Catalyst Compact switch support PoE+, which is increasingly important for next-generation workspaces and Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems. The Multigigabit Ethernet ports can also be used as uplinks to connect to traditional access switches such as the Cisco Catalyst 3850/4500 switches.
Cisco Multigigabit technology offers significant benefits for a diverse range of speeds, cable types, and PoE power. The benefits can be grouped into three different areas:
- Multiple speeds:Ā Cisco Multigigabit technology supports autonegotiation of multiple speeds on switch ports. The supported speeds are 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, and 5 Gbps on Cat 5e cable and up to 10 Gbps over Cat 6a cabling.
- Cable type:Ā The technology supports a wide range of cable types, including Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 6a or above.
- PoE power:Ā The technology supports PoE and PoE+ for all the supported speeds and cable types.
|
10-Gigabit SFP+ uplinks |
Accommodates business growth and increased traffic, such as aggregate upstream gigabit traffic loads from 802.11ac Wi-Fi access points. |
Increased PoE+ Scale |
Provides up to 240W of PoE+ budget (twice the power per switch than previous series). |
Perpetual PoE |
Provides uninterrupted power to a powered-down device even when the switch is booting. This eliminates the need for a backup power source. |
PoE pass-through |
PoE pass-throughĀ gives the ability to power PoE end devices through drawing Cisco UPOE from the wiring closet. The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3560CX-8PT-S has eight downlink ports with two Cisco UPOE input ports that allow it to be powered by another switch. These switches do not need a power supply and receive power over the uplink from an upstream PoE or Cisco UPOE device, providing deployment flexibility and availability. These switches are ideal for wiring-constrained and space-constrained applications. |
Management and Operations |
Cisco Instant Access Mode |
Available on Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX switches with 10 G SFP+ uplinks, this optional mode enables a single point of management and operation for campus networks. Multiple Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX compact switches with 10 G SFP+ uplinks can be connected to Cisco Catalyst 6500 or 6800 core switches, and the entire configuration can then work as a single extended switch with a common management domain.
In this mode, compact switches inherit all the features of the Cisco Catalyst 6500 or 6800. Advanced Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 6800 features like MPLS and EVN can be extended to the access layer, so the Cisco Catalyst Instant Access solution can be deployed on all or a subset of the campus network. |
Cisco Network Plug ān Play (PnP) |
Network Plug-n-Play (PnP) is a secure, scalable solution that accelerates network device deployments by automating the installation and configuration of Cisco IOS software. The Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX and 2960-CX switches are āNetwork-PnP Readyā and can be used as part of the APIC-EM solution for automated switch deployments. This feature helps improve productivity, cut costs, reduce downtime, and enhance the user experience. |
Cisco Catalyst Smart Operations |
This comprehensive set of Cisco Catalyst technologies and Cisco IOS Software features simplify LAN deployment, configuration, and troubleshooting.
- Cisco Smart InstallĀ enables the configuration of the Cisco IOS Software image and switch without user intervention.
- Cisco Auto SmartportsĀ provides automatic configuration as end devices connect to the switch port, allowing autodetection and plug-and-play of the device onto the network. Interface templates containing configurations or policies that can be applied to ports are also supported.
- Cisco Smart TroubleshootingĀ is an extensive array of debug diagnostic commands and system health checks, includingĀ Generic Online Diagnostics (GOLD)Ā andĀ Onboard Failure Logging (OBFL)
- Embedded Event Manager (EEM),Ā supported on the Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX, provides real-time network event detection and onboard automation. You can adapt the behavior of your network devices to align with business needs.
|
Cloud and System Management |
- Cisco Prime InfrastuctureĀ provides comprehensive network lifecycle management with an extensive library of features that automate initial and day-to-day management. Cisco Prime integrates hardware and software platform expertise and operational experience into a powerful set of workflow-driven configuration, monitoring, troubleshooting, reporting, and administrative tools.
- Cisco Network AssistantĀ is a PC-based, centralized network management and configuration application for small and medium-sized business (SMB) with up to 250 users. An intuitive GUI lets you easily apply common services across Cisco switches, routers, and access points.
- Cisco Active AdvisorĀ is a cloud-based service that provides essential lifecycle information about your network inventory. Available by itself or as a component of other Cisco network management applications, it helps you reduce your networkās overall risk by keeping you up-to-date on the status of your products.
|
Operational Simplicity |
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)Ā for creating Ethernet channeling with devices that conform to IEEE 802.3ad. Similar to Cisco EtherChannel technology and PAgP.
- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)Ā autoconfiguration of multiple switches through a boot server.
- Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR)Ā continuously sends multicast streams in a multicast VLAN. Isolates streams from subscriber VLANs for bandwidth and security reasons.
- Voice VLANĀ keeps voice traffic on a separate VLAN for easier administration and troubleshooting.
- Cisco VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP)Ā supports dynamic VLANs and dynamic trunk configuration across all switches.
- Remote Switch Port Analyzer (RSPAN)Ā allows administrators to remotely monitor ports in a Layer 2 switch network from any other switch in the same network.
- For enhanced traffic management, monitoring, and analysis, the EmbeddedRemote Monitoring (RMON) software agent supports four RMON groups (history, statistics, alarms, and events).

Security |
Cisco TrustSec |
A suite of components that secures networks, data, and resources with policy-based access control, identity, and role-aware networking with the following elements:
- Cisco TrustSec SXPĀ support to simplify security and policy enforcement throughout the network. For more information about Cisco TrustSec security solutions, visit cisco.com/go/TrustSec.
- Hardware on the Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX for IEEE 802.AE MACsecĀ for Layer 2, line-rate Ethernet data confidentiality and integrity on host-facing ports. Protects against man-in-the-middle attacks (snooping, tampering, and replay).
- Flexible authentication that supports multiple authentication mechanisms includingĀ 802.1X, MAC Authentication Bypass, andĀ web authenticationĀ using a single, consistent configuration.
