Description

Cisco 3560C PD PSE Switch 8 GE PoE, 2 x 1G Copper Uplink, IP Base

The Cisco Catalyst 3560-C series delivers a compact, enterprise-grade solution for edge deployments where space is at a premium but performance, security, and reliability cannot be compromised. Built to support growing networks outside the wiring closet, this 8-port PoE switch combines Gigabit Ethernet with robust security features, flexible management, and a strong feature set that suits small to mid-size businesses, educational facilities, retail environments, and branch offices. With IP Base capabilities and PoE on the front line, it enables a smooth path to unified communications, wireless networking, IP video, and advanced security services without the need for bulky, roomier equipment.

  • Power over Ethernet for streamlined device deployment — This model provides PoE-capable ports that power essential devices directly through the network cable, simplifying deployment of IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, and other IP-enabled peripherals. By reducing the need for separate power outlets and cabling, it lowers installation complexity and enhances office cleanlines and reliability.
  • Two 1G copper uplinks for scalable, reliable connectivity — With two high-speed copper uplink ports, you can connect to your core switches or distribution layer while maintaining performance and reducing bottlenecks. These uplinks enable efficient traffic aggregation, improved redundancy, and straightforward integration into existing networks.
  • IP Base feature set for secure, flexible routing and switching — The switch runs the IP Base image, delivering Layer 3 capabilities such as static routing, routing protocols, and inter-VLAN routing. This enables you to segment networks, optimize traffic flow, and support unified communications and IP video with improved performance and control.
  • Enterprise-grade security and QoS for converged networks — Built to protect critical data and ensure quality of service, this Catalyst model includes ACLs, secure management (SSH, v3 SNMP), and QoS policies to prioritize voice, video, and mission-critical applications, keeping networks responsive even under load.
  • Compact, edge-optimized design with robust management options — Designed for deployments outside the wiring closet, the switch offers a small footprint with straightforward management through command-line interfaces, Cisco Network Assistant compatibility, and centralized monitoring features, making it easy to deploy, manage, and troubleshoot in diverse environments.

how to install Cisco 3560C PD PSE Switch 8 GE PoE, 2 x 1G Copper Uplink, IP Base

  • Plan your topology: Identify the edge devices (IP phones, APs, cameras) that will connect to the 8 PoE ports and determine the core/distribution path for the two 1G uplinks. Map VLANs and identify required IP networks to support routing and security policies.
  • Power and placement: Position the switch in a location that allows convenient cabling to devices and provides adequate ventilation. If PoE devices are used, ensure the power budget aligns with expected loads across the PoE ports.
  • Physical connection: Connect the two 1G copper uplinks to your core or distribution switches using appropriate CAT5e/CAT6 cables. Attach PoE-enabled devices to the 8 PoE ports. Use copper uplinks for stable, straightforward wiring.
  • Initial configuration: Access the switch through the CLI or a management interface. Assign IP addressing, configure VLANs, enable necessary routing if Layer 3 features are used, and apply QoS and security policies tailored to your environment.
  • Verification and testing: Validate connectivity by pinging gateway devices and VLAN endpoints. Check PoE status on each port to confirm devices are receiving power. Test voice and video traffic to confirm QoS settings are prioritizing critical applications.
  • Monitoring and ongoing maintenance: Enable SNMP monitoring, set alert thresholds for port errors or power usage, and document configuration changes. Regularly review logs and performance metrics to maintain network health.
