• Comprehensive IPv6 First Hop Security and support for IPv6 and IPv4.
• Advanced Layer 3 traffic management for efficient network segmentation.
• Compact design for flexible deployment options.
• Power-efficient with IEEE 802.3az support, automatic power shutoff, and fanless design.
• Peace of mind and investment protection with rigorous testing and complimentary Cisco support.

Strong Security

The C1300-16P-2G provides the advanced security features you need to protect your business data and keep unauthorized users off the network.

• Support for advanced network security applications such as IEEE 802.1X and port security tightly limits access to specific segments of your network. Web-based authentication provides a consistent interface to authenticate all types of host devices and operating systems, without the complexity of deploying 802.1X clients on each endpoint.
• Advanced defense mechanisms, including dynamic Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) inspection, IP Source Guard, and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snooping, detect and block deliberate network attacks. Combinations of these protocols are also referred to as IP/MAC/port binding (IPMB).
• IPv6 First Hop Security extends advanced threat protection to IPv6. This comprehensive security suite includes Neighbour Discovery (ND) inspection, Router Advertisement (RA) guard, DHCPv6 guard, and neighbour binding integrity check, providing unparalleled protection against a vast range of address spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks on IPv6 networks.

Power Over Ethernet

The C1300-16P-2G features sixteen (16) PoE+ ports with a 120W PoE budget. This capability simplifies advanced technology deployments such as IP telephony, wireless, and IP surveillance by allowing you to connect and power network endpoints over a single Ethernet cable. With no need to install separate power supplies for IP phones or wireless access points, you can take advantage of advanced communication technologies more quickly and at a lower cost.

IPV6 Support

As the IP address scheme evolves to accommodate a growing number of network devices, the C1300-16P-2G can support the transition to the next generation of networking. This switch continues to support previous-generation IPv4, allowing you to evolve to the new IPv6 standard at your own pace and helping ensure that your current network will continue to support your business applications in the future.

Power Efficiency

The C1300-16P-2G integrates a variety of power-saving features, providing the industry’s most extensive energy-efficient switching portfolio. This switch is designed to conserve energy by optimising power use, which helps protect the environment and reduce your energy costs. They provide an eco-friendly network solution without compromising performance. This switch features:

• Support for the Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) standard, which reduces energy consumption by monitoring the amount of traffic on an active link and putting the link into a sleep state during quiet periods.
• Automatic power shutoff on ports when a link is down.
• Embedded intelligence to adjust signal strength based on the length of the connecting cable.
• Fanless design which reduces power consumption, increases reliability, and provides quieter operation.
