Ethernet uplink. The switches are designed to be used outside the wiring closet in the end-user workspace, and feature a durable metal shell, no fan for silent operation, easy wall or under-the-desk mounting, a security lock slot to prevent theft, and an available cable guard to secure the Ethernet cables and switch. The Cisco Catalyst 2940 Series is extremely easy to set up and configure via Cisco Express Setup, a simple Web-based setup utility. For more advanced configuration and ongoing management, the Cisco Catalyst 2940 Series has a console port and supports remote management protocols such as Telnet, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), as well as the Cisco Cluster Management Suite (CMS), which is a free Java-enabled Web-based monitoring and configuration tool that comes embedded in the switch and can manage up to 16 switches at once. Combine this with the rich functionality of Cisco IOSR Software, and these switches provide comprehensive functionality and manageability for classrooms, conference rooms, or other very small workgroup environments.
