No console cable or terminal emulation application is needed for intitialization through the embedded GUI Device Manager. There are two options for switch management: GUI Device Manager for all operating systems and the Windows-based Cisco Network Assistant available at no cost from the Cisco Web site.
The 24LC model is useful when a few access points in the network require Power over Ethernet (PoE). The 24LC provides:
- Twenty 10/100Base-T ports for desktop connectivity
- Four 10/100 Power over Ethernet ports for desktop, wireless access point, IP telephony, or closed-circuit TV camera connectivity
- Two 10/100/1000BASE-T or Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) ports for uplink or server connectivity
Note: SFP connectivity requires an adapter such as the GLC-FE-100FX transceiver.
Please note: The equipment shipped may be new or refurbished at Cisco's discretion.
Product service and support: Cisco will provide five years of hardware and software service and support ("SMARTnet") for any product or product bundle obtained through this donation program.
