Where to Go Next

If the default configuration is satisfactory, the switch does not need further configuration. You can use any of these management options to change the default configuration:

Start the device manager, which is in the switch memory, to manage individual and standalone switches. This is an easy-to-use web interface that offers quick configuration and monitoring. You can access the device manager from anywhere in your network through a web browser. For more information, see the switch getting started guide and the device manager online help.

Start the Network Assistant application, which is described in the Getting Started with Cisco Network Assistant guide. Through this GUI, you can configure and monitor a switch cluster or an individual switch.

Use the CLI to configure the switch as a member of a cluster or as an individual switch from the console. See the switch command reference on Cisco.com for information on using the CLI with the switch.

Start an SNMP application such as the CiscoView application.

3750-E, 3560-E specifications

Cisco Systems RPS (Redundant Power System) 2300, along with the 3750-E and 3560-E series switches, represents a significant technological advancement in enterprise networking. These devices are designed to enhance network reliability, scalability, and efficiency, making them integral components in modern enterprise infrastructures.

The Cisco RPS 2300 is designed to provide redundant power to specified Cisco switches, ensuring continuous operation during power disruptions. This system can support up to six devices, enhancing power reliability and reducing downtime. The modularity of the RPS 2300 contributes to its flexibility, allowing enterprises to customize their power solutions to suit their networking needs. It features dual power input, which provides an additional layer of failover capability, ensuring that even in the event of a primary power failure, the backup power system can take over seamlessly.

On the other hand, the Cisco 3750-E series switches are enterprise-class devices that offer a rich feature set to support advanced network functions. These switches come with Cisco’s StackWise technology, enabling users to stack up to nine switches in a single logical unit. This increases port density and simplifies network management. The 3750-E also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing the delivery of power directly to devices like IP phones and access points through the networking cables. The switch is equipped with high-performance Layer 3 routing capabilities, providing enhanced IP routing options for enterprise networks.

The Cisco 3560-E series switches share many of the advanced features found in the 3750-E models but focus more on providing comprehensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities in a compact design. The 3560-E series supports Cisco’s advanced security features, such as dynamic VLAN assignment and security group access control lists (ACLs). Additionally, these switches support IPv6, preparing enterprise networks for future growth and addressing requirements.

Both the 3750-E and 3560-E are equipped with energy-efficient technologies, including intelligent power management and support for Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), helping organizations reduce their environmental footprint and operating costs. The integration of Cisco’s robust IOS software ensures that these devices are equipped with the latest features, ensuring strong performance, security, and scalability.

In summary, Cisco's RPS 2300, 3750-E, and 3560-E series exemplify the company's commitment to delivering cutting-edge networking solutions that meet the demands of modern enterprises, focusing on reliability, advanced features, and energy efficiency.
