The Cisco WS-C3750G-24PS-S Catalyst 3750G-24PS is a 24-port Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch designed to meet the demands of enterprise and small to medium-sized business networks. Offering robust Layer 3 functionality and advanced stacking capabilities, this device is ideal for organizations that require high performance, scalability, and enhanced reliability in their network infrastructure.

This model is equipped with 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports capable of delivering PoE to power devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and cameras, reducing the need for separate power supplies. With a PoE power budget of 370W, it supports IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE+ standards, making it highly effective in powering and networking devices over a single cable.

The switch features 4 x 1G SFP uplink ports, enabling flexible network design with high-speed fiber connections. It supports stacking through Cisco’s StackWise technology, allowing multiple switches to be connected and managed as a single unit, simplifying network management and increasing fault tolerance.

With Layer 3 static routing and support for dynamic routing protocols like RIP, EIGRP, and OSPF, the Cisco 3750G-24PS-S can efficiently manage routing between VLANs and facilitate seamless communication across different segments of the network. Its security features such as 802.1X port-based authentication, MAC address filtering, and IP source guard help protect the network from unauthorized access.

For quality of service (QoS), the switch offers traffic prioritization, ensuring that latency-sensitive applications, such as voice and video, receive optimal network resources. Additionally, the energy-efficient design supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and dynamic PoE management to reduce power consumption while maintaining high operational capacity.

Designed for high availability, it includes redundant fan trays and the option for a redundant power supply (RPS), making it suitable for mission-critical environments. The Cisco IOS software provides a comprehensive suite of management features through CLI, web-based management, and SNMP, allowing administrators to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the network with ease.

The Cisco WS-C3750G-24PS-S is an excellent solution for businesses looking to enhance network performance, support Power over Ethernet devices, and ensure robust, secure, and scalable network infrastructure.
