The Cisco CatalystŪ2950 Series is a line of fixed-configuration, stackable, and standalone switches that provide wire-speed Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This product line offers two distinct sets of software features and a range of configurations to allow small, mid-sized, and enterprise branch offices, and industrial environments to select the right combination for the network edge. The Standard Image (SI) Software offers Cisco IOSŪ functionality for basic data, video and voice services. For networks with requirements for additional security, advanced quality of service (QoS) and high availability, the Enhanced Image (EI) Software delivers intelligent services such as rate limiting and security filtering for deployment at the network edge.

For harsh network environments, the new Cisco Catalyst 2955 Series are industrial-grade switches that are ideal for industrial networking solutions (industrial Ethernet deployments), intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and transportation network solutions. It is also suitable for many military and utility market applications where the environmental conditions exceed the specifications of other commercial switching products.

Embedded in all Catalyst 2950 and 2955 switches is the Cisco Cluster Management Suite (CMS) Software, which allows users to simultaneously configure and troubleshoot multiple Catalyst desktop switches using a standard web browser
