Cisco Business Smart Switches - Refurbished, Used, New
Cisco Business switches are Cisco's switches for small and medium-sized businesses. They run their own operating system and feature set, separate from enterprise Catalyst switches. Management depends on the series: the CBS110 is unmanaged, the CBS220 is managed through a web interface and the Cisco Business app, and the CBS250 and CBS350 add command-line access alongside web and app management. This collection covers the CBS220 and CBS250 smart switches, the CBS350 managed switches and earlier Cisco small business models such as the SG500X. NetworkTigers sells them refurbished, used and new. Every unit is tested before it ships so it works when it arrives.

Which Cisco Business switch do I need?
Choose the series by how much management you need: CBS220 for basic setup, CBS250 for more Layer 2 control, and CBS350 when you need Layer 3 features, multigigabit or 10 GbE access ports, or stacking on supported models. Then read the model name: the number after the series is the port count, P models provide PoE+, with FP for a full PoE budget and PP for a partial budget, and the suffix shows the uplinks (-2G or -4G for 1 GbE, -4X for 10 GbE SFP+). Check the listing for the exact ports and PoE budget, and whether the switch is fanless or uses an external power supply.
Frequently asked questions
Can I manage Cisco Business switches like Catalyst switches?
Not in the same way. The CBS250 and CBS350 offer command-line access, but Cisco Business switches run a different operating system and feature set from enterprise Catalyst switches. If you need Catalyst features or want to match an existing Catalyst network, look at the Catalyst access switches.
