Data Sheet

Gigabit Ethernet

At speeds of 1000 Mbps, Gigabit Ethernet provides the bandwidth to meet new and evolving

network demands, alleviate bottlenecks, and boost performance while increasing the return on

existing infrastructure investments. Today’s workers are placing higher demands on networks,

running multiple, concurrent applications. For example, a worker joins a team conference call

through an IP videoconference, sends a 10-MB spreadsheet to meeting participants, broadcasts

the latest marketing video for the team to evaluate, and queries the customer-relationship-

management database for the latest real-time feedback. Meanwhile, a multigigabyte system

backup starts in the background and the latest virus updates are delivered to the client. The Cisco

Catalyst 3560 provides a means to intelligently scale the network beyond 100 Mbps over existing

Category 5 copper cabling and simultaneously support PoE for maximum productivity and

investment protection.

Intelligence in the Network

Networks of today are evolving to address four new developments at the network edge:



Increase in desktop computing power



Introduction of bandwidth-intensive applications



Expansion of highly sensitive data on the network



Presence of multiple device types, such as IP phones, WLAN access points, and

IP video cameras

These new demands are contending for resources with many existing mission-critical applications.

As a result, IT professionals must view the edge of the network as critical to effectively manage the

delivery of information and applications.

As companies increasingly rely on networks as the strategic business infrastructure, it is more

important than ever to ensure their high availability, security, scalability, and control. By adding

Cisco intelligent functions for LAN access, customers can now deploy networkwide intelligent

services that consistently address these requirements from the desktop to the core and through

the WAN.

With Cisco Catalyst Intelligent Ethernet switches, Cisco Systems

helps enable companies to

realize the full benefits of adding intelligent services into their networks. Deployment of capabilities

that make the network infrastructure highly available to accommodate time-critical needs, scalable

to accommodate growth, secure enough to protect confidential information, and capable of

differentiating and controlling traffic flows is critical to further optimizing network operations.

Enhanced Security

With the wide range of security features that the Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series offers, businesses

can protect important information, keep unauthorized people off the network, guard privacy, and

maintain uninterrupted operation.

Cisco Identity Based Networking Services (IBNS) provides authentication, access control, and

security policy administration to secure network connectivity and resources. Cisco IBNS in the

Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series prevents unauthorized access and helps ensure that users get only

their designated privileges. It provides the ability to dynamically administer granular levels of

network access. Using the 802.1x standard and the Cisco Access Control Server (ACS), users

can be assigned a VLAN or an ACL upon authentication, regardless of where they connect to the
