The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

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.
