Description

C1000-8FP-E-2G-L Cisco Catalyst 1000 Managed Switch

The C1000-8FP-E-2G-L is a Cisco Catalyst 1000 fixed managed Layer 2 switch designed for small CCTV, Wi-Fi and voice networks where compact installation is important. It runs Cisco IOS Software and provides CLI and on-box web management for VLANs, security, monitoring and day-to-day administration.

C1000-8FP-E-2G-L specifications

Deployment and compatibility guidance

Use the C1000-8FP-E-2G-L as an access-layer switch for endpoint connectivity and fibre uplinks. Before ordering, confirm the required copper-port count, PoE demand, SFP type, fibre distance, rack or desktop placement, power cord and software image. Cisco-coded 1G SFP modules are recommended for predictable compatibility.

PoE and endpoint planning

Full PoE+ compact configuration; confirm the supplied external power option for the required PoE load. Calculate the combined maximum consumption of cameras, access points and phones, then keep operating headroom for device startup and future expansion. Non-PoE endpoints can use the same access ports normally.

Security and management features

• VLAN segmentation, 802.1Q trunks and link aggregation
• Quality of Service for voice, video and business traffic
• 802.1X access control, port security, DHCP snooping and access-control lists
• Spanning Tree safeguards and loop protection
• CLI, browser-based management, SNMP, syslog and software-image management

Lifecycle and replacement planning

Cisco has announced end-of-sale status for the Catalyst 1000 family. Existing installations can still be supported according to the applicable Cisco lifecycle dates, but new projects should compare availability, warranty and software requirements. A practical migration option is the Cisco Catalyst C1200 or C1300 PoE model selected for equivalent ports, uplinks and power budget. Gear Net Technologies can help validate the replacement against the existing optics, PoE load, VLAN design and rack environment.
