Cisco Access Switches are network switches that serve as the connection point between end devices such as computers, printers, and IP phones and the local network (LAN), providing network access for these devices. Cisco offers a wide range of access switch series, including the latest Catalyst 9000 series, to meet the requirements of various networks.
What access switches are and what they are used for
Access switches are an essential component of computer networks. They form the first layer in the hierarchical network design and enable end devices such as computers, printers, and IP phones to access the network and communicate with one another within the local network (LAN). In addition, access switches provide various functions such as VLANs, Power over Ethernet (PoE), and port security to ensure connectivity and security within the network.
Typically, they can be found in every office, school, hospital, hotel, and cloud infrastructure. They are also used in industry and manufacturing, where they ensure the connectivity of machines and devices.
Access switches forward data to switches at higher layers in the network, such as distribution switches or core switches.
The most popular Cisco Access Switch series
Cisco offers several series of access switches, each featuring different functions and performance characteristics. The main series are:
