Cisco 350X Series Stackable Managed Switches
Cisco public
To stay ahead in a competitive marketplace, small businesses need to make every dollar count. That means
getting the most value from your technology investments, but it also means making sure that employees have
fast, reliable access to the business tools and information they need. Every minute an employee waits for an
unresponsive application – and every minute your network is down – has an impact on your bottom line. The
importance of maintaining a strong and dependable business network only grows as your business adds more
employees, applications, and network complexity.
When your business needs advanced security and features but affordability and value are key, you’re ready for
the new generation of Cisco® Small Business managed switches: the Cisco 350X Series.
Figure 1.
Cisco 350X Series Stackable Managed Switches
Cisco 350X Series switches are designed to protect your technology investment as your business grows. Unlike
switches that claim to be stackable but have elements that require separate administration and troubleshooting,
the Cisco 350X Series provides true stacking capability, allowing you to configure, manage, and troubleshoot
multiple physical switches as a single device and more easily expand your network.
A true stack delivers a unified data and control plane, in addition to a management plane, providing flexibility,
scalability, and ease of use because the stack of units operates as a single entity. The switches also protect
your technology investment with an enhanced warranty, dedicated technical support, and the ability to upgrade
equipment in the future. Overall, the Cisco 350X Series provides the ideal technology foundation for a growing
business.
Multigigabit performance
Network needs are changing quickly. With evolving wireless standards and the rising number of wireless
devices, keeping up with data rates and growing traffic can be a challenge. Your traditional Ethernet
infrastructure can support speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps), but competing today requires much
more capacity. One option is to completely replace your older cabling infrastructure and upgrade your
hardware. But wouldn’t it be better to increase network speed and traffic capacity in a way that’s quick,
inexpensive, and efficient?
Multigigabit Ethernet technology uses capabilities in your existing cabling infrastructure to meet bandwidth
requirements and provide up to five times the performance of a 1G switch. The technology enables
intermediate data rates of 2.5 and 5 Gbps to ease the jump from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps. These intermediate rates
run on most installed cables and preserve older Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) wiring, which is good for
802.11ac and 802.11ax wireless LAN applications.
The technology also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), including PoE+ and 60W PoE. Cisco Multigigabit
Ethernet switches help you avoid having to run multiple cables between switches and access points and let
your networks welcome next-generation traffic speeds and data rates.
● Smart Network Application (SNA) is an innovative network-level monitoring and management tool
embedded in the Cisco 100 to 500 Series switches. It can discover network topology, display link status,
monitor events, apply configurations, and upgrade software images across multiple switches in the
network.
● The FindIT Network Manager and Probe are designed to manage Cisco 100 to 500 Series switches,
routers, and wireless access points. They let you proactively manage the network instead of just reacting
to events. Cisco 350X Series switches support the embedded FindIT Network Probe, eliminating the
need to set up a separate hardware or virtual machine on site. For more information, visit
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/cloud-systems-management/findit-network-
management/index.html.
PoE technology simplifies the deployment of IP phones and wireless access points by allowing you to connect
and power network endpoints over a single Ethernet cable, without having to install separate power supplies.
The 350X Series switches support 15W PoE and 30W PoE+. The switches also support 60W PoE on selected
ports to power compact switches, high-power wireless access points, or connected lighting. The PoE power is
intelligently managed such that only the amount of power needed by an endpoint is delivered to it and none is
wasted. As a result, the switches can support devices that require more power, such as 802.11ac wireless
access points, video-based IP phones, surveillance cameras, and more. The PoE features in the 350X Series
switches are also fully backward compatible with 802.3af PoE, 802.3at PoE+, and Cisco legacy PoE protocols.
In a growing business where availability 24 hours a day, 7 days a week is critical, you need to assure that
employees can always access the data and resources they need. In these environments, stackable switches
can play an important role in minimizing downtime and improving network resiliency. For example, if the master
switch within a Cisco 350X Series stack fails, another switch takes over, keeping your network up and running.
You can also replace individual devices in the stack without taking your whole network offline or affecting
employee productivity.
The Cisco 350X Series also supports dual images, allowing you to perform software upgrades without having to
worry about the network going down during the upgrade.
● True stacking allows you to troubleshoot, configure, and manage multiple physical switches as a single
entity.
● Cisco switches use common chipsets and software across all switching portfolios, so all Cisco switches
within a category support the same feature set, making it easier to manage and support all switches
across the network.
True stacking
Some switches claim to support stacking, but they only support “clustering” or “virtual stacking,” which means
each switch must still be managed and configured individually. They cannot be managed as a single entity or
device. Cisco 350X Series switches provide true horizontal stacking, enabling you to configure, manage, and
troubleshoot multiple physical switches as a single device, with a single IP address, for up to four units and up
to 208 ports.
A true horizontal stack delivers a unified data and control plane, in addition to a management plane, providing
flexibility, scalability, and ease of use because the stack of units operates as a single entity constituting all the
ports of the stack members. This capability can radically reduce complexity in a growing network environment
while improving the resiliency and availability of network applications. True stacking also provides other cost
savings and administrative benefits through features such as cross-stack QoS, Virtual LANs (VLANs), Link
Aggregation Groups (LAGs), and port mirroring, which clustered switches can’t support.
Strong security
Cisco 350X Series switches provide the advanced security features you need to protect your business data and
keep unauthorized users off the network:
● Embedded Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption protects management data traveling to and from the
switch.
● Extensive Access Control Lists (ACLs) restrict sensitive portions of the network to keep out unauthorized
users and guard against network attacks.
● Guest VLANs let you provide Internet connectivity to nonemployee users while isolating critical business
services from guest traffic.
● Support for advanced network security applications such as IEEE 802.1X 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 Neighbor Discovery (ND) inspection, Router Advertisement (RA) guard, DHCPv6 guard, and
neighbor binding integrity check, providing unparalleled protection against a vast range of address
spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks on IPv6 networks.
IPv6 support
As the IP address scheme evolves to accommodate a growing number of network devices, the Cisco 350X
Series can support the transition to the next generation of networking and operating systems such as Windows
7, Vista, and Linux. These switches continue 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. Cisco 350X Series switches have successfully completed rigorous IPv6
testing and have received the USGv6 and IPv6 Gold certification.
The Cisco 350X Series enables a more advanced set of traffic management capabilities to help growing
businesses organize their networks more effectively and efficiently. The switches provide static LAN Layer 3
routing, allowing you to segment your network into workgroups and communicate across VLANs without
degrading application performance. With these capabilities, you can boost the efficiency of your network by
offloading internal traffic-handling tasks from your router and allowing it to manage primarily external traffic and
security.
Power efficiency
The Cisco 350X Series integrates a variety of power-saving features across all models, providing the industry’s
most extensive energy-efficient switching portfolio. These switches are designed to conserve energy by
optimizing power use, which helps protects the environment and reduce your energy costs. They provide an
eco-friendly network solution without compromising performance. Cisco 350X Series switches feature:
● 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
● The latest Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), which use low-power 28-nanometer
technology and low-power, high-performance ARM CPUs
● Automatic power shutoff on ports when a link is down
● LEDs that can be turned off to save power
● Embedded intelligence to adjust signal strength based on the length of the connecting cable
Cisco 350X Series switches offer the reliable performance and peace of mind you expect from a Cisco switch.
When you invest in the Cisco 350X Series, you gain the benefit of:
● Limited lifetime warranty with Next-Business-Day (NBD) advance replacement (where available;
otherwise same day shipping)
● A solution that has been rigorously tested to help ensure optimal network uptime to keep employees

browser to any host devices and operating systems
STP BPDU Guard A security mechanism to protect the networks from invalid configurations. A port enabled
for Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) Guard is shut down if a BPDU message is received
on that port. This avoids accidental topology loops
STP Root Guard Prevents edge devices not in the network administrator’s control from becoming
Spanning Tree Protocol root nodes
DHCP snooping Filters out DHCP messages with unregistered IP addresses and/or from unexpected or
untrusted interfaces. This prevents rogue devices from behaving as DHCP servers
IP Source Guard (IPSG) When IPSG is enabled at a port, the switch filters out IP packets received from the port if
the source IP addresses of the packets have not been statically configured or dynamically
learned from DHCP snooping. This prevents IP address spoofing
Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) The switch discards ARP packets from a port if there are no static or dynamic IP/MAC
bindings or if there is a discrepancy between the source or destination address in the
ARP packet. This prevents man-in-the-middle attacks

Growth is never a bad thing. But as you gain new customers and a higher profile, you need a business
technology platform capable of delivering a higher level of service and reliability. With more users, more
devices and applications, and more exposure to security threats, a switching platform designed for a smaller
operation simply cannot meet your growing needs. It’s time for a network that will support your business as you
take it to the next level. Cisco 350X Series switches provide the advanced feature set, reliability, and
investment protection your business needs, today and in the future.
