How to Select Your Cisco Switch and Router Hardware? | Zorins Technologies LLC
To understand switch and router hardware basically is necessary to implementing network designs that scale. Many Cisco models scale well with the network as it grows. So Cisco has a various series of Cisco routers, switches and other hardware to meet today’s network designs and demands.
It is important to select the proper Cisco hardware to meet current network requirements while designing a network, as well as to allow for network growth. Especially in an enterprise network, both switches and routers play a critical role in network communication. So in this article we will introduce some main tips to select the very right Cisco switch or Cisco router for your networks (mainly for enterprise networks)
There are five categories of switches for enterprise networks
Campus LAN Switches: To scale network performance in an enterprise LAN, there are core, distribution, access, and compact switches. These switch platforms vary from fanless switches with eight fixed ports to 13-blade switches supporting hundreds of ports. Campus LAN switch platforms include the Cisco 2960, 3560, 3750, 3850, 4500, 6500, and 6800 Series.
Cloud-Managed Switches: The Cisco Meraki cloud-managed access switches enable virtual stacking of switches. They monitor and configure thousands of switch ports over the web, without the intervention of onsite IT staff.
Data Center Switches: A data center should be built based on switches that promote infrastructure scalability, operational continuity, and transport flexibility. The data center switch platforms include the Cisco Nexus Series switches and the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches.
Service Provider Switches: Service provider switches fall under two categories: aggregation switches and Ethernet access switches. Aggregation switches are carrier-grade Ethernet switches that aggregate traffic at the edge of a network. Service provider Ethernet access switches feature application intelligence, unified services, virtualization, integrated security, and simplified management.
Virtual Networking: Networks are becoming increasingly virtualized. Cisco Nexus virtual networking switch platforms provide secure multitenant services by adding virtualization intelligence technology to the data center network.
Network administrators must determine the switch form factors while selecting switches. These include the fixed configuration, the modular configuration, the stackable configuration and the nonstackable configuration.
Fixed Configuration Switches
Modular Configuration Switches
Stackable Configuration Switches
The height of the switch, which is expressed in the number of rack units, is also important for switches that are mounted in a rack. For example, the fixed configuration switches shown in Fixed Configuration Switches are all one rack unit (1U) high.
In addition to these considerations, the following list highlights other common business considerations when selecting switch equipment:
Cost: The cost of a switch will depend on the number and speed of the interfaces, supported features, and expansion capability.
Port Density: Network switches must support the appropriate number of devices on the network.
Power: It is now common to power access points, IP phones, and even compact switches using Power over Ethernet (PoE). In addition to PoE considerations, some chassis-based switches support redundant power supplies.
Reliability: The switch should provide continuous access to the network.
Port Speed: The speed of the network connection is of primary concern to end users.
Frame Buffers: The ability of the switch to store frames is important in a network where there might be congested ports to servers or other areas of the network.
Scalability: The number of users on a network typically grows over time; therefore, the switch should provide the opportunity for growth.
The port density of a switch refers to the number of ports available on a single switch. The following shows the port density of three different switches.
Fixed configuration switches typically support up to 48 ports on a single device. They have options for up to four additional ports for small form-factor pluggable (SFP) devices. High-port densities allow for better use of limited space and power. If there are two switches that each contain 24 ports, they would be able to support up to 46 devices, because at least one port per switch is lost with the connection of each switch to the rest of the network. In addition, two power outlets are required. Alternatively, if there is a single 48-port switch, 47 devices can be supported, with only one port used to connect the switch to the rest of the network, and only one power outlet needed to accommodate the single switch.
Modular switches can support very high-port densities through the addition of multiple switch port line cards. For example, some Catalyst 6500 switches can support in excess of 1000 switch ports.
Large enterprise networks that support many thousands of network devices require high-density, modular switches to make the best use of space and power. Without using a high-density modular switch, the network would need many fixed configuration switches to accommodate the number of devices that need network access. This approach can consume many power outlets and a lot of closet space.
The network designer must also consider the issue of uplink bottlenecks: A series of fixed configuration switches can consume many additional ports for bandwidth aggregation between switches, for the purpose of achieving target performance. With a single modular switch, bandwidth aggregation is less of an issue, because the backplane of the chassis can provide the necessary bandwidth to accommodate the devices connected to the switch port line cards.
Forwarding rates define the processing capabilities of a switch by rating how much data the switch can process per second. Switch product lines are classified by forwarding rates.
Forwarding Rate
Entry-level switches have lower forwarding rates than enterprise-level switches. Forwarding rates are important to consider when selecting a switch. If the switch forwarding rate is too low, it cannot accommodate full wire-speed communication across all of its switch ports. Wire speed is the data rate that each Ethernet port on the switch is capable of attaining. Data rates can be 100 Mb/s, 1 Gb/s, 10 Gb/s, or 100 Gb/s.
For example, a typical 48-port gigabit switch operating at full wire speed generates 48 Gb/s of traffic. If the switch only supports a forwarding rate of 32 Gb/s, it cannot run at full wire speed across all ports simultaneously. Fortunately, access layer switches typically do not need to operate at full wire speed, because they are physically limited by their uplinks to the distribution layer. This means that less expensive, lower-performing switches can be used at the access layer, and more expensive, higher-performing switches can be used at the distribution and core layers, where the forwarding rate has a greater impact on network performance.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows the switch to deliver power to a device over the existing Ethernet cabling. This feature can be used by IP phones and some wireless access points.
Power over Ethernet
PoE allows more flexibility when installing wireless access points and IP phones, allowing them to be installed anywhere that there is an Ethernet cable. A network administrator should ensure that the PoE features are required, because switches that support PoE are expensive.
The relatively new Cisco Catalyst 2960-C and 3560-C Series compact switches support PoE pass-through.
PoE Pass-Through
PoE pass-through allows a network administrator to power PoE devices connected to the switch, as well as the switch itself, by drawing power from certain upstream switches.
Multilayer switches are typically deployed in the core and distribution layers of an organization’s switched network. Multilayer switches are characterized by their ability to build a routing table, support a few routing protocols, and forward IP packets at a rate close to that of Layer 2 forwarding. Multilayer switches often support specialized hardware, such as application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC). ASICs, along with dedicated software data structures, can streamline the forwarding of IP packets independent of the CPU.
There is a trend in networking toward a pure Layer 3 switched environment. When switches were first used in networks, none of them supported routing; now, almost all switches support routing. It is likely that soon all switches will incorporate a route processor because the cost of doing so is decreasing relative to other constraints. Eventually the term multilayer switch will be redundant.
The Catalyst 2960 switches illustrate the migration to a pure Layer 3 environment.
Cisco Router Tips
Like switches, routers can play a role in the access, distribution, and core layers of the network. In many small networks like branch offices and a teleworker’s home network, all three layers are implemented within a router.
In the distribution layer of an enterprise network, routing is required. Without the routing process, packets cannot leave the local network.
Routers play a critical role in networking by interconnecting multiple sites within an enterprise network, providing redundant paths, and connecting ISPs on the Internet. Routers can also act as a translator between different media types and protocols. For example, a router can accept packets from an Ethernet network and reencapsulate them for transport over a serial network.
Routers use the network portion of the destination IP address to route packets to the proper destination. They select an alternate path if a link goes down or traffic is congested. All hosts on a local network specify the IP address of the local router interface in their IP configuration. This router interface is the default gateway.
Routers also serve the following beneficial functions.
With the enterprise and the ISP, the ability to route efficiently and recover from network link failures is critical to delivering packets to their destination.
There are three categories of routers:
Branch Routers: Branch routers optimize branch services on a single platform while delivering an optimal application experience across branch and WAN infrastructures. Maximizing service availability at the branch requires networks designed for 24x7x365 uptime. Highly available branch networks must ensure fast recovery from typical faults, while minimizing or eliminating the impact on service, and provide simple network configuration and management.
Network Edge Routers: Network edge routers enable the network edge to deliver high-performance, highly secure, and reliable services that unite campus, data center, and branch networks. Customers expect a high-quality media experience and more types of content than ever before. Customers want interactivity, personalization, mobility, and control for all content. Customers also want to access content anytime and anyplace they choose, over any device, whether at home, at work, or on the go. Network edge routers must deliver enhanced quality of service and nonstop video and mobile capabilities.
Service Provider Routers: Service provider routers differentiate the service portfolio and increase revenues by delivering end-to-end scalable solutions and subscriber-aware services. Operators must optimize operations, reduce expenses, and improve scalability and flexibility to deliver next-generation Internet experiences across all devices and locations. These systems are designed to simplify and enhance the operation and deployment of service-delivery networks.
Network administrators in an enterprise environment should be able to support a variety of routers, from a small desktop router to a rack-mounted or blade model. More Cisco routing devices in the market are the Cisco ISR G2 Series Routers. How to select a proper Cisco router? You can read more about the tips of selecting Cisco ISR G2 Series for your network.

Selection of Cisco ISR | Zorins technologies LLC
Routers with higher performance and expandability should be selected for traffic-intensive data centers than the bases. Cisco ISR not only allows selection of bundle models according to the services required at the data centers or bases, but also respond flexibility to changes in the business needs by means of license activation of Cisco IOS technologies and addition of expansion modules.
Sample inter-base network configuration: small-scale network
Sample inter-base network configuration: medium-scale network
>>Hot Cisco Routers: Cisco ISR 4431, ISR 881, ISR 891F, ASR 1001-XLine-up of Cisco ISR
Previously, even the small-scale bases were required to install a wide range of devices including switches, wireless access points and WAN optimization appliances. Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISR) are “super routers” that are capable of integrating the network services provided by these multiple devices into a single platform. These routers are not only capable of integrating multiple services but also have the flexibility to add new services as required via license activation and/or addition of expansion modules. Adoption of these routers results in simpler network configuration, helping to reduce the device costs as well as operation and maintenance costs.
Cisco ISR can integrate the Routing and SD-WAN service & other services into a single unit!

Four Reasons to Consider the All-in-one ISR 1000 | Zorins Technologies LLC
For SMBs, Cisco’s 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR 1000) provide an affordable solution for switching, routing, and wireless all in one device.
And today’s operations are more complex—going way beyond the basics.
SMBs have little-to-no-IT resources, time, energy or skills to handle this new normal of business practices. For those who are interested in how it works, watch this 2-minute video:
Cisco 1000 Series ISR for SMBs
SMBs, like all businesses, need secure, simple and affordable IT options that will protect their critical business intellectual property, block or guard against risky practices, set policies and offer backup connectivity—all while having the ability to connect every device within any point in the network.
Having the right device to run day-to-day operations can transform your SMB.
Let’s imagine you are a small business that deals with the public in retail, finance, education or other commercial firms. You want your customers to be able to use the Wi-Fi guest access without any threat of them viewing financial, identity, health or other private records. “The last thing a clinic wants is for the network to be hacked and for patients’ records to be exposed. You want to provide guest access which is independent of the clinic’s network. In technical terms, it’s called network segmentation, which is simple to do with an ISR 1000.” says Shankar Ramachandran, Product Line Manager for Cisco Integrated Services Routers.”
Cisco’s versatile 1000 Series Integrated Services Router is like a small office or branch office-in-a-box for your business, school, clinic or retail location. Here are the top four reasons why:
All-in-one solution—Routing, wireless and switching are combined in a single device with Cisco’s trusted IOS® XE software. Internet access, comprehensive security, and management are combined in a single, high-performance device. Plus, with pay-as-you-grow performance licensing you can avoid unnecessary hardware upgrades and save on CapEx.
Advanced wired and wireless access—All of your devices connected to the network with advanced connectivity options like 4G LTE, DSL, copper and fiber Ethernet. Plus, ISR 1000s have a built-in wireless access point that includes integrated wireless controller capability, so you have the fastest way to wirelessly connect an entire network or office site, quickly, easily and affordably. With Cisco’s Mobility Express you can support up to 100 Cisco APs and 2,000 connected client devices on a single Wi-Fi network.
Enterprise-class security—With integrated security features like IP Security, high-performance VPN’s and Encrypted Traffic Analytics, the ISR 1000 is always on, always open to protect your desktops, tablets and mobile devices and content from malware and ransomware. In addition, Cisco Umbrella™ is a cloud security platform that provides the first line of defense against threats on the Internet wherever users go, blocking malicious attacks and DDOS attacks before a connection is ever established. It will even help identify where the next attack will emerge.
Cisco Software-Defined WAN Evolution—With Cisco SD-WAN you can define policies and prioritize traffic all from one management console. Zero-touch deployment across the WAN means you can deploy, manage, operate and secure your network quickly and easily, so you can get back to your business.

Routing, Switching, and Wi-Fi in Cisco ISR 1000 Series | Zorins Technologies LLC
Just like other fixed ISRs, the new ISR 1000 Series comes in a variety of flavors with interface options to meet just about any need.
The Cisco ISR 1000/1100 routers come in two models: an 8-LAN-port option and a 4-LAN-port option.
There are multiple LAN, WLAN, WAN, and LTE combinations to choose from, depending on your branch needs.
The 1000 Series can be used in ATMs, retail stores, and kiosks, as well as for various other purposes.
The Cisco ISR 1000 Series routers are best suited for small and midsize businesses, enterprise branches, and as customer premises equipment in managed services environments.
Cisco ISR 1000 Series Routers-Highlights
Cisco IOS XE Universal Image (IP Base/SEC/AX)
High-performance multicore processors for high-speed WAN connections and multiple services
Dual WAN ports for load balancing and/or business continuity
4G LTE wireless WAN (select models)
Built-in managed switch (all models)
Optional integrated power supply for distribution of PoE/PoE+
Built-in IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2-compatible wireless access point (wireless models)
Cisco Mobility Express for flexible deployment
Building out the Portfolio
The ISR 1000 Series fleshes out an already extensive portfolio of Enterprise Routing from Cisco. With Multi-CPU IOS-XE systems now from small branch through large aggregation plus cloud and virtual deployments, it’s a common architecture across the network. Add to this the new addition of vEdge appliances and Enterprise NFV and there’s support for exciting emerging architectures.

How to Select Your Cisco Switch and Router Hardware? | Zorins Technologies LLC
To understand switch and router hardware basically is necessary to implementing network designs that scale. Many Cisco models scale well with the network as it grows. So Cisco has a various series of Cisco routers, switches and other hardware to meet today’s network designs and demands.
It is important to select the proper Cisco hardware to meet current network requirements while designing a network, as well as to allow for network growth. Especially in an enterprise network, both switches and routers play a critical role in network communication. So in this article we will introduce some main tips to select the very right Cisco switch or Cisco router for your networks (mainly for enterprise networks)
There are five categories of switches for enterprise networks
Campus LAN Switches: To scale network performance in an enterprise LAN, there are core, distribution, access, and compact switches. These switch platforms vary from fanless switches with eight fixed ports to 13-blade switches supporting hundreds of ports. Campus LAN switch platforms include the Cisco 2960, 3560, 3750, 3850, 4500, 6500, and 6800 Series.
Cloud-Managed Switches: The Cisco Meraki cloud-managed access switches enable virtual stacking of switches. They monitor and configure thousands of switch ports over the web, without the intervention of onsite IT staff.
Data Center Switches: A data center should be built based on switches that promote infrastructure scalability, operational continuity, and transport flexibility. The data center switch platforms include the Cisco Nexus Series switches and the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches.
Service Provider Switches: Service provider switches fall under two categories: aggregation switches and Ethernet access switches. Aggregation switches are carrier-grade Ethernet switches that aggregate traffic at the edge of a network. Service provider Ethernet access switches feature application intelligence, unified services, virtualization, integrated security, and simplified management.
Virtual Networking: Networks are becoming increasingly virtualized. Cisco Nexus virtual networking switch platforms provide secure multitenant services by adding virtualization intelligence technology to the data center network.
Network administrators must determine the switch form factors while selecting switches. These include the fixed configuration, the modular configuration, the stackable configuration and the nonstackable configuration.
Fixed Configuration Switches
Modular Configuration Switches
Stackable Configuration Switches
The height of the switch, which is expressed in the number of rack units, is also important for switches that are mounted in a rack. For example, the fixed configuration switches shown in Fixed Configuration Switches are all one rack unit (1U) high.
In addition to these considerations, the following list highlights other common business considerations when selecting switch equipment:
Cost: The cost of a switch will depend on the number and speed of the interfaces, supported features, and expansion capability.
Port Density: Network switches must support the appropriate number of devices on the network.
Power: It is now common to power access points, IP phones, and even compact switches using Power over Ethernet (PoE). In addition to PoE considerations, some chassis-based switches support redundant power supplies.
Reliability: The switch should provide continuous access to the network.
Port Speed: The speed of the network connection is of primary concern to end users.
Frame Buffers: The ability of the switch to store frames is important in a network where there might be congested ports to servers or other areas of the network.
Scalability: The number of users on a network typically grows over time; therefore, the switch should provide the opportunity for growth.
The port density of a switch refers to the number of ports available on a single switch. The following shows the port density of three different switches.
Fixed configuration switches typically support up to 48 ports on a single device. They have options for up to four additional ports for small form-factor pluggable (SFP) devices. High-port densities allow for better use of limited space and power. If there are two switches that each contain 24 ports, they would be able to support up to 46 devices, because at least one port per switch is lost with the connection of each switch to the rest of the network. In addition, two power outlets are required. Alternatively, if there is a single 48-port switch, 47 devices can be supported, with only one port used to connect the switch to the rest of the network, and only one power outlet needed to accommodate the single switch.
Modular switches can support very high-port densities through the addition of multiple switch port line cards. For example, some Catalyst 6500 switches can support in excess of 1000 switch ports.
Large enterprise networks that support many thousands of network devices require high-density, modular switches to make the best use of space and power. Without using a high-density modular switch, the network would need many fixed configuration switches to accommodate the number of devices that need network access. This approach can consume many power outlets and a lot of closet space.
The network designer must also consider the issue of uplink bottlenecks: A series of fixed configuration switches can consume many additional ports for bandwidth aggregation between switches, for the purpose of achieving target performance. With a single modular switch, bandwidth aggregation is less of an issue, because the backplane of the chassis can provide the necessary bandwidth to accommodate the devices connected to the switch port line cards.
Forwarding rates define the processing capabilities of a switch by rating how much data the switch can process per second. Switch product lines are classified by forwarding rates.
Forwarding Rate
Entry-level switches have lower forwarding rates than enterprise-level switches. Forwarding rates are important to consider when selecting a switch. If the switch forwarding rate is too low, it cannot accommodate full wire-speed communication across all of its switch ports. Wire speed is the data rate that each Ethernet port on the switch is capable of attaining. Data rates can be 100 Mb/s, 1 Gb/s, 10 Gb/s, or 100 Gb/s.
For example, a typical 48-port gigabit switch operating at full wire speed generates 48 Gb/s of traffic. If the switch only supports a forwarding rate of 32 Gb/s, it cannot run at full wire speed across all ports simultaneously. Fortunately, access layer switches typically do not need to operate at full wire speed, because they are physically limited by their uplinks to the distribution layer. This means that less expensive, lower-performing switches can be used at the access layer, and more expensive, higher-performing switches can be used at the distribution and core layers, where the forwarding rate has a greater impact on network performance.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows the switch to deliver power to a device over the existing Ethernet cabling. This feature can be used by IP phones and some wireless access points.
Power over Ethernet
PoE allows more flexibility when installing wireless access points and IP phones, allowing them to be installed anywhere that there is an Ethernet cable. A network administrator should ensure that the PoE features are required, because switches that support PoE are expensive.
The relatively new Cisco Catalyst 2960-C and 3560-C Series compact switches support PoE pass-through.
PoE Pass-Through
PoE pass-through allows a network administrator to power PoE devices connected to the switch, as well as the switch itself, by drawing power from certain upstream switches.
Multilayer switches are typically deployed in the core and distribution layers of an organization’s switched network. Multilayer switches are characterized by their ability to build a routing table, support a few routing protocols, and forward IP packets at a rate close to that of Layer 2 forwarding. Multilayer switches often support specialized hardware, such as application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC). ASICs, along with dedicated software data structures, can streamline the forwarding of IP packets independent of the CPU.
There is a trend in networking toward a pure Layer 3 switched environment. When switches were first used in networks, none of them supported routing; now, almost all switches support routing. It is likely that soon all switches will incorporate a route processor because the cost of doing so is decreasing relative to other constraints. Eventually the term multilayer switch will be redundant.
The Catalyst 2960 switches illustrate the migration to a pure Layer 3 environment.
Cisco Router Tips
Like switches, routers can play a role in the access, distribution, and core layers of the network. In many small networks like branch offices and a teleworker’s home network, all three layers are implemented within a router.
In the distribution layer of an enterprise network, routing is required. Without the routing process, packets cannot leave the local network.
Routers play a critical role in networking by interconnecting multiple sites within an enterprise network, providing redundant paths, and connecting ISPs on the Internet. Routers can also act as a translator between different media types and protocols. For example, a router can accept packets from an Ethernet network and reencapsulate them for transport over a serial network.
Routers use the network portion of the destination IP address to route packets to the proper destination. They select an alternate path if a link goes down or traffic is congested. All hosts on a local network specify the IP address of the local router interface in their IP configuration. This router interface is the default gateway.
Routers also serve the following beneficial functions.
With the enterprise and the ISP, the ability to route efficiently and recover from network link failures is critical to delivering packets to their destination.
There are three categories of routers:
Branch Routers: Branch routers optimize branch services on a single platform while delivering an optimal application experience across branch and WAN infrastructures. Maximizing service availability at the branch requires networks designed for 24x7x365 uptime. Highly available branch networks must ensure fast recovery from typical faults, while minimizing or eliminating the impact on service, and provide simple network configuration and management.
Network Edge Routers: Network edge routers enable the network edge to deliver high-performance, highly secure, and reliable services that unite campus, data center, and branch networks. Customers expect a high-quality media experience and more types of content than ever before. Customers want interactivity, personalization, mobility, and control for all content. Customers also want to access content anytime and anyplace they choose, over any device, whether at home, at work, or on the go. Network edge routers must deliver enhanced quality of service and nonstop video and mobile capabilities.
Service Provider Routers: Service provider routers differentiate the service portfolio and increase revenues by delivering end-to-end scalable solutions and subscriber-aware services. Operators must optimize operations, reduce expenses, and improve scalability and flexibility to deliver next-generation Internet experiences across all devices and locations. These systems are designed to simplify and enhance the operation and deployment of service-delivery networks.
Network administrators in an enterprise environment should be able to support a variety of routers, from a small desktop router to a rack-mounted or blade model. More Cisco routing devices in the market are the Cisco ISR G2 Series Routers. How to select a proper Cisco router? You can read more about the tips of selecting Cisco ISR G2 Series for your network.

With today’s day and age, connectivity has become ubiquitous. Not only do people expect a reliable and fast connectivity in their offices, but also at their favorite coffee shops and grocery stores. Setting up the network to provide such connectivity is not everybody’s cup of tea; setting these networks is complex and time consuming and most of the times small business with little to no in-house expertise, end up hiring third party companies to do such tasks. Now, with the introduction of Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed switches small businesses would no longer need to worry about setting up their access network.
Bringing years of expertise to masses
The unparalleled knowledge and expertise of Cisco engineering and sales teamshas been synthesized and provided to the customers in a simple, and easy-to-consume Day 0 Wizard required to configure their networks. We broke down the boundaries between a Switch and an Access Point by allowing users to configure not only their Catalyst 2960-L series switches, but also Mobility Express Access points from the same Web UI thus allowing small business a single pane of glass to configure everything they need to provide connectivity to their customers.
Set up your small office in just three clicks!
Using day 0 wizard, powered by Cisco Configuration Professional for Catalyst (CCPC) is simple and quick! Power on the switch, connect the Access Point to any port and press the mode button on the switch, and the Day 0 Wizard is ready for you to configure.
Once you enter the wizard, there are just three steps that a user needs to follow in order to complete their network’s configuration. The wizard provides for context based helps and tips providing detailed overview of what that particular field really means and how the user should go about completing them. First, it asks for some basic configuration required to identify and connect to the devices followed by interface configuration wherein the user provides their network segregation intent, and enabling SVIs and DHCP Services over these network segments has never been easier.
Lastly, the wizard would ask for Wireless specific details which it could not derive from the previous two steps such as the Country to determine RF parameters, SSID and the security mechanism to authenticate clients over.
Once a user finishes these three steps, they have successfully set up their entire access layer in one go Cisco recommended best practices enabled out of the box. So, all the people, who could not get their SSID to work because they either did not allow proper VLANs on switchport or did not set the correct native VLAN for AP management network, worry no more, Cisco is here for you! Once the network is set up, CCPC also provides a comprehensive dashboard to allow customers to monitor their device from a single pane of glass.
Conclusion

Growing CISCO Catalyst 9000 | Zorins Technologies
Cisco introduced Catalyst 9000 family of products in June of 2017 which soon became the fastest growing product in the history of the company. Its phenomenal success is a testament to what it brings to the customers. It truly addresses the challenges the customers are facing in this fast-changing world where digitization, security, mobility and cloud are top of mind for most of the CIOs. Catalyst 9000 family started with a few models of Catalyst 9300, 9400 and 9500 but soon grew to address majority of the deployments and designs. Over the last 12 months, it has added new models of the Catalyst 9300 which gives the maximum density of multi-gigabit to ensure wifi6 readiness. It has introduced new uplinks of 25G for easier transition to higher speeds. Catalyst 9300 is the lead stackable access switch with rich set of technologies and scale. Catalyst 9400 introduced a couple of new supervisors in the last one year in addition to multiple new Line Cards enabling maximum copper and fiber connectivity. With its UADP 2.0XL engine it gives even higher scale than 9300 and brings maximum High availability that the modular systems offer. The introduction of a 4-slot chassis and different variants of fiber line cards makes 9400 suitable for 1G/10G core and aggregation deployments. It also now supports SD-Access Border and Control plane functionalities. Catalyst 9500 started with a few models of 40G and 10G. That sure became a popular 1RU aggregation product. But the introduction of 100G and 25G in the 9500 family accelerated the customers to transition to higher speed without worrying about the most cumbersome piece of networking – the wires. The customers can easily go from 10G to 25G and with the new CSR optics, customers can switch with just a software knob as soon as the other side of the wire is ready for the higher speed. This bumps up the bandwidth by 2.5 times which is also ideal since the bandwidth is going up from 1G to 2.5G at the access with multigiabit and 11ac wave 2 APs. This ensures seamless transition but it also ensures that the network architects don’t have to rework oversubscription ratios from access to the upper layers of the network. 1 --> 2.5 G, 10 --> 25G. No changes in the oversubscription ratios.
And now the 4th coming all new Catalyst 9200 is extending what Catalyst 9000 brings to the customers i.e Intent Based networking (IBN) - everywhere. It comes at a more affordable price and brings simplicity without compromise. No compromise on Security, High Availability, and the IBN experience. For the first time, Catalyst 9200 has introduced new security features that we have not seen in this class of products before. To name a few, MACSEC 128 bit is now supported on Catalyst 9200 on all ports providing transport encryption for end to end security. Catalyst 9200 is also extending the trustworthy system features, ensuring platform and Operating Systems security against infrastructure breaches. For the first time, Catalyst 9200 is also bringing Stateful Switch Over (SSO) in this class of product. With the help of Stackwise technology, the users can stack up to 8 members with an Active and Standby similar to Catalyst 9300. SSO ensures High Availability and a sub second convergence in case Active fails. This is so fast that if there is a video stream transmitting through the device the users will not even notice a glitch as it switches over. For the first time, Catalyst 9200 also brings Patching (Cold) to this class of product. That means that the customers don’t have to change the entire image when there is a critical update needed and therefore can avoid long wait to update the software. For the first time, Catalyst 9200 brings the same level of programmability and automation capabilities in this class of product as Catalyst 9000. For those customers who have other Catalyst 9000 devices, it makes it a seamless operation for the Network Operators to run the same tools across their network. Based on YANG configurational and operational models, customers can also get streaming telemetry on their favorite tools like Kibana and Grafana.
All of this was only possible because Catalyst 9200 shares the strong foundation from hardware and software perspective that the rest of the Catalyst 9000 family has. Its based on the same UADP family of ASIC. Catalyst 9200 is based on an optimized version of the ASIC – UADP 2.0 mini. The operating system that runs on Catalyst 9200 is also the same IOS XE. Due to smaller memory footprint, Catalyst 9200 runs a more optimized version of the binary. This ensures rich set of OS capabilities and it fits a more affordable box. Catalyst 9000 family started with a few models of 9300, 9400 and 9500 soon has grown into a nice big family of products. Catalyst 9200 just extends the reach to everyone who is jumping on the IBN journey. As customers move towards digitization, that means now everyone should have a Cat 9000.

How to enabling a secure IoT experience with Catalyst 9000 Switches | Zorins Technologies LLC
Business adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) is picking up and entering mainstream production environment. At last, industry is moving away from pilot projects and proofs-of-concept and are beginning to run their businesses on IoT, a recent study shows that 69% of organizations are adopting or planning to adopt IoT. To have these IoT devices on board, organizations now expect more out of their campus network than moving data.
The Catalyst 9000 family has been designed from ground up to meet the needs of growing IoT devices. Long before 802.3bt became a standard, Catalyst 9000 family of switches provided Cisco Universal Power over Ethernet to power end points that require up to 60W of power. Enabling endpoints does not just stop by providing increased power, but by ensuring resilient, constant and immediate delivery of such power to these business-critical endpoints. The Catalyst 9000 family of switches deliver on that need through their industry leading innovations such as Perpetual PoE, Fast PoE and 2-event classification. Such innovation are not only limited to leading platforms, but are now available to all with Catalyst 9200, that can support full PoE+ on all ports and also deliver on the various PoE innovations.
With more and more IoT endpoints being onboarded to the network, security of these devices becomes quintessential to protect network against breaches. Using the power of UADP ASIC, Catalyst 9000 family of switches deliver security on hardware to ensure that security does not come with a compromise on network performance. Every Catalyst 9000 switch, including the recently introduced Catalyst 9200 supports MACsec, a technology that does link encryption between host-to-switch and switch-to-switch to secure the link by maintaining integrity and confidentiality of data being sent. We are taking this notion of securing network even further through Encrypted Traffic Analytics that helps detect encrypted malware without ever having the need to decrypt the packet for inspection.
Enabling such massive numbers of IoT endpoints increases an organizations’ attack footprint. To ensure such attack surface is contained, segmentation becomes key. Cisco, through industry-leading Software Defined Access architecture makes the job easy. SD-Access simplifies network segmentation and provides end-to-end automation capabilities along with consistent secure policy-based automation. Software defined access and network assurance capabilities together makes managing security violations and network malfunctions simple. With the advent of Catalyst 9200, now this architecture can become a reality for all sized organizations.
And with support for SD-Access Extension for IoT, organizations can now extend their policies to even wider deployments!
For the needs of organizations of all sizes as they try to bring in more and more IOT devices, Cisco has a solution for all. From small organizations or branch campus using Catalyst 9200 up to a large business critical enterprise using Catalyst 9300/9400, Catalyst 9000 family of switches deliver unparalleled infrastructure to enable a secure IoT experience.
