Cisco Business Switches Transition Guide
Introducing Cisco Business Switch—simple, flexible, and secure networking for
small business
Cisco® Business Switch is a new portfolio of affordable switches that provides a reliable foundation for any small
business network. Zero touch deployment drastically simplifies and expedites network set up. IPv6 and Layer 3
routing optimize network bandwidth to accelerate digital transformation. Advanced security protects business critical
information.
Cisco Business Dashboard is a network management tool for Cisco Business switches, routers, and wireless access
points. Cisco Business Dashboard simplifies traditional challenges in deploying and managing business networks while
automating the deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management of the network. Cisco Business mobile app helps
to set up a local network in minutes and provide easy management at your fingertips.
The new Cisco Business Switch Series replaces the current 550X, 350X and 350 Series Managed Switches, 250 and
220 Series Smart Switches, and 110/95 Series Unmanaged Switches. Users of Cisco Small Business 500, 300, 200
and 100/90 Series switches should also consider upgrading to Cisco Business Switch for better performance, easier
management, and enhanced security.
