From connectivity to cloud applications, networking plays a crucial role in every business journey. Reliability,
security, and affordability continue to be priorities, while ongoing management and operations add additional
complexity that takes time and resources.
Cisco Business is a portfolio of affordable wireless access points, switches, and routers designed and built for
Small Business. Managed through Cisco Business Dashboard and mobile app, the portfolio provides a simple
and reliable experience. Cisco Business Dashboard simplifies traditional challenges in deploying and managing
business networks by automating the deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management of the network.

Features and benefits
Cisco Business 220 Series provides capabilities that help you create business-class networks. These features
deliver a solution to simplify the operation, increase uptime, and get your business better connected to
employees, customers, and suppliers. Some primary features include:
●
Easy configuration and deployment. Cisco Business 220 Series switches are designed to be easy to
deploy and use by small businesses and the partners that manage them. Other ease-of-use features
include the following:
◦ Cisco Business Dashboard is designed to manage Cisco Business switches, routers, and wireless
access points. Using the Dashboard, you easily customize the interface and widgets to proactively
manage your network. Cisco Business 220 Series switches connect directly to Cisco Business
Dashboard, eliminating the need to set up separate hardware or a virtual machine on site. For more
information, visit https://www.cisco.com/go/cbd.
◦ The Cisco Network Plug and Play solution provides a simple, secure, unified, and integrated offering
to ease new device rollouts, as well as provisioning updates to an existing network. The solution
provides a unified approach to provision Cisco routers, switches, and wireless devices with a zero
touch deployment experience.
◦ The simple and intuitive web-based interfaces enable users without extensive IT expertise to
configure, manage, and troubleshoot the switch in minutes. Configuration wizards simplify the most
common configuration tasks and provide the tool for anyone to set up and manage the network.
Reliability and performance. Cisco Business 220 Series switches have been tested to deliver the high
availability and performance that users have come to expect from Cisco switches. The switches speed
up file transfer times, keep vital business applications available, and help your employees respond more
quickly to customers and each other. With enhanced QoS capabilities, the Cisco Business 220 Series
also gives you the flexibility to manage and prioritize high-bandwidth traffic so you can easily integrate
all the business communications and connectivity needs on a single converged infrastructure.
●
Power over Ethernet (PoE). PoE+ streamlines the deployment for wireless access points, IP telephony,
and video surveillance by allowing power and data to run over a single network cable. Cisco Business
220 Series switches support PoE+, which provides up to 30 watts of power per port. PoE+ can enable
deployments for 802.11ac wireless access points, Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) IP cameras, and videophones,
delivering more flexibility and investment protection.
●
Network security. The Cisco Business 220 Series switches provide new levels of security for smart
switches and deliver more ways to safeguard your network.
◦ Support for network security applications such as the Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) 802.1X and port security can tightly limit access to specific segments of your network.
◦ Extensive Access Control Lists (ACLs) can restrict sensitive portions of the network from unauthorized
users and guard against network attacks.
◦ Security mechanisms such as broadcast/multicast/unknown unicast storm control and Bridge Protocol
Data Unit (BPDU) guard can protect the network from invalid configurations or malicious intent.
◦ Denial-of-Service (DOS) attack prevention helps to increase uptime in the event of a network attack.
●
Optimal energy efficiency. Cisco Business 220 Series switches are designed with Energy Efficient
Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) and Energy Detect support on all models, as well as fanless designs on selected
models. These designs help you save operational expenses and reduce your environmental footprint.
●
Peace of mind and investment protection. Cisco Business 220 Series switches offer the reliable
performance, investment protection, and peace of mind you expect from a Cisco switch. Complementary
one-year access to our Small Business Support Center provides ongoing support. The 3-year limited
hardware warranty with return to factory replacement keeps your business running smoothly.
