Ease of Management and Deployment

The C1300-24P-4X is designed to be easy to use and manage, including the following features:

• The Cisco Business Dashboard manages Cisco switches, routers, and access points with ease. It automates deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management while simplifying setup through an onboarding wizard. The C1300-24P-4X includes an embedded probe and direct management, removing the need for extra hardware or virtual machines.
• The Cisco Network Plug and Play solution provides a simple, secure, unified, and integrated offering to ease new device rollouts or for provisioning updates to an existing network. The solution provides a unified approach to provisioning Cisco routers, switches, and wireless devices with a near-zero-touch deployment experience.
• The intuitive user interfaces reduce the time required to deploy, troubleshoot, and manage the network and allow you to support sophisticated capabilities without increasing IT head count.
• The C1300-24P-4X also supports text view, a full Command-Line Interface (CLI) option for partners that prefer it.
• Support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows you to set up and manage your switches and other Cisco devices remotely from a network management station, improving IT workflow and mass configurations.
• The switch support an external Bluetooth dongle that plugs into the USB port on the switch and allows a Bluetooth-based RF connection with external laptops and tablets. Laptops and tablets can access the switch CLI using a Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) client over Bluetooth. The GUI can be accessed over Bluetooth with a browser.

Strong Security

The C1300-24P-4X provides the advanced security features you need to protect your business data and keep unauthorised 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 defence 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.
