Cisco switch Naming conventions

The naming rules for Cisco switches are more complex than the naming rules for routing,

Look at these:ws-c2960-24tc-l, WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC, Ws-c2960-24tt-l, Ws-c3750g-24ts-e, Ws-c3750g-24t-s, We didn't find them on the switch, we just saw the Catalyst 2950 series and wrote it all: The Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series, which means the Cisco switch 2950 series, Catalyst This word is the meaning of Cisco switching. Today we're going to talk about a long list of naming conventions, each of which is named after the model, because there are too many models under one series of switches. This long string of numbers is written on the back of the switch, and you will see it carefully.

Let's say the model naming rules for switches:

Swap: The name of the switch is typically WS at the beginning of this is fixed, and then the next letter has two one is the C one is x,c represents a cured switch or chassis, x represents a module.

Let's take a look at some of the long series of models that start with red, in these models: G,TT,TC,TS,T,E,L,S,DC.

Let's see what they stand for separately:

G: Indicates that the switch is a gigabit switch (all interfaces are gigabit)

TT: Indicates that the gigabit on-connection port of the switch is base-t (i.e.: RJ45 interface)

TC: Indicates that the switch gigabit on the port is dual-use, directly with the BASE-T, you can add modules on it.

TS: Indicates that the 37 switch also has a gigabit expansion slot.

T: Indicates that the 37 switch does not have a gigabit expansion slot.

E: Indicates that the switch is an enhanced three layer; S: Indicates that it is a standard three-layer.

DC: Indicates that it provides a DC power supply.

L: Indicates LAN Base Image

For example, when you see ws-c3750-24ts-s this model, we should know that he is a Cisco switch, curing switch 3750 series, 24 Ethernet ports, TS is the Ethernet port behind the +SFP Port S is the standard version, the model is E, is enhanced or called Enterprise Edition.

Another WS-X6748-SFP,WS. Represents a switching device, X represents a module, 6 represents a 6000 series, 7 represents a 7-generation product, 48 represents a 48 port, and an SFP represents a port type (SFP is a mini interface module)

Switch series:

1900:1924

2,900:2,924, 2924M

2950:2950-24, 2950G-24/48, 2950c-24, 2950t-24, 2950SX-24/48

2960:2960-24/48tt-l, 296024/48tc-l

3500:3508g, 3524, 3548

3550:3550-24-smi/emi, 3550-48-smi/emi, 3550-12g/t

3560:3560-24/48 also has a G.

3750:3750-24/48-ts-s, 3750-24/48-ts-e 3750g-24/48-ts-s, 3750G-24/48-TS-E, 3750g-12s

4,000:4,003, 4006

4,500:4,503, 4506, 4507R

6,000:6,006, 6009

6,500:6,506, 6509, 6513

7,600:7,609, 7613

Security products are all beginning with the PIX.

Specific is the following several: pix-501, pix-506, pix-515/e, PIX-525, PIX535, ASA5505, ASA5510, ASA5520, ASA5540, ASA5550.

Cisco firewall models are mostly software-differentiated and hardware is the same.
