Operating at Layer 3, the WS-C3560V2-24PS supports advanced routing features such as static routing and IP services, alongside Layer 2 functionalities including VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol, and Quality of Service (QoS). Enhanced security is built in through access control lists (ACLs), DHCP snooping, and other Cisco IOS Software features, ensuring data integrity and controlled access across the network. With a standard 1U form factor, the switch is designed for 19" rack-mount installations, while its improved energy efficiency compared to previous generations helps reduce operational costs. Combining PoE support, robust security, and enterprise-class features, the Cisco Catalyst WS-C3560V2-24PS is an excellent solution for organizations seeking to build reliable and future-ready network infrastructures.
