Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series Switches

The Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series is a line of fixed-configuration, enterprise-class switches that include IEEE 802.3af and Cisco pre-standard Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality in Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet configurations. These are ideal access layer switches for small enterprise LAN access or branch-office environments. Combining both 10/100/1000 and PoE configurations for maximum productivity and investment protection, they help you deploy new applications such as IP telephony, wireless access, video surveillance, building management systems, and remote video kiosks.

You can maintain the simplicity of traditional LAN switching and still deploy networkwide intelligent services such as:
• Advanced quality of service (QoS)
• Rate limiting
• Access control lists (ACLs)
• Multicast management
• High-performance IP routing
• Cisco EnergyWise to measure, report and reduce energy usage across the
   entire organization

Simplify Network Management
Available for the Catalyst 3560 Series, the Cisco Network Assistant is a centralized management application for switches, routers, and wireless access points. Free of charge, the application provides configuration wizards that greatly simplify the implementation of converged networks and intelligent network services.

The Cisco Catalyst 3560 is available with either the IP Base or IP Services software images and can be upgraded to the Advanced IP Services software image. The IP Base software (formerly called the Standard Multilayer Image or SMI) includes advanced QoS, rate-limiting, ACLs, and basic routing and IPv6 functionality. The IP Services software (formerly called the Enhanced Multilayer Image or EMI) provides a richer set of enterprise-class features, including advanced hardware-based IP unicast and IP Multicast routing as well as policy-based routing (PBR). The Advanced IP Services software includes IPv6 routing and IPv6 ACL support.
