In addition, the Cisco 220 Series provides capabilities that help you create business-class networks. These
features deliver a solution to simplify the operation, increase uptime, and ultimately get your business better
connected to employees, customers, and suppliers. Some primary features include:
●
Easy configuration and deployment. Cisco 220 Series switches are designed to be easy to deploy and
use by small and medium-sized businesses and the partners that manage them. The simple and intuitive
web-based interfaces allow even users without extensive IT expertise to configure, manage, and
troubleshoot the switch in minutes. Other ease-of-use features include:
◦ Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) and Link Layer Discovery Protocol – Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-
MED). Automatically detect all the devices connected to your network. Then automatically configure the
switch itself with the appropriate settings and instruct the end devices on the appropriate voice VLAN or
QoS parameters to use.
◦ Cisco FindIT Network Discovery Utility. This feature works through a simple toolbar on the user's web
browser to discover Cisco devices on the network and display basic information, such as serial numbers
and IP addresses. It aids in quicker configuration and deployment of Cisco small and midsize business
products. For more information, and to download the utility, visit
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/cloud-systems-management/small-business-findit-networkdiscovery-utility/index.html.
◦ The FindIT Network Manager and Probe are designed to manage Cisco 100 to 500 Series switches,
routers, and wireless access points. They let you proactively manage the network instead of just reacting
to events. FindIT Network Management is the perfect addition to your business's network. For more
information, visit https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/cloud-systems-management/findit-network-
management/index.html
●
Flexible network management capabilities. Cisco 220 Series switches provide more flexibility for network
management through the following:
◦ Remote management. Using SNMP, you can set up and manage all switches and other Cisco devices in
your network remotely.
◦ Command-Line Interface (CLI). The switches can be managed using a CLI. This capability can enable
scripted or automated deployment for network professionals.
◦ Dual image support. With the ability to maintain two images in permanent storage instead of only a single
image, as is traditionally supported on smart switches, you can perform software upgrades without taking
the network offline or worrying about an outage because of a bad image file. This reduces switch
downtime when the firmware is being upgraded or downgraded.
◦ Dual configuration files support. Configure the device, validating that it is done correctly, and then save
this configuration to take effect after reboot. Additionally, a mirror configuration file provides automatic
backup of the latest stable configuration file.
◦ IPv6 support. Cisco 220 Series switches provide native support for IPv6, as well as the previous IPv4
standard. As a result, you can migrate to the next generation of networking applications and operating
systems without an equipment upgrade.
