Traffic on a port can be mirrored to another port for analysis with a network analyzer or RMON probe. Up to 4 source ports can be mirrored to one destination port.
VLAN Mirroring
Traffic from a VLAN can be mirrored to a port for analysis with a network analyzer or RMON probe. Up to 4 source VLANs can be mirrored to one destination port.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
DHCP options facilitate tighter control from a central point (DHCP server), to obtain IP address, autoconfiguration (with configuration file download), DHCP Relay, and host name.
Secure Copy (SCP)
Securely transfers files to and from the switch.
Autoconfiguration with SCP File Download
Enables mass deployment with protection of sensitive data.
Text-Editable Configs
Config files can be edited with a text editor and downloaded to another switch, facilitating easier mass deployment.
Textview Command-Line Interface (CLI)
Scriptable CLI. A full CLI as well as a menu-based CLI is supported. User privilege levels 1, 7, and 15 are supported for the CLI.
Cisco Network Plug and Play (PnP) Agent
Provides a simple, secure, unified, and integrated tool to aid new branch or campus device rollouts or for provisioning updates to an existing network. The solution provides a unified approach to provision Cisco routers, switches, and wireless devices with a near-zero-touch deployment experience.

IP Telephony Support
The SF250-48's QoS features prioritize delay-sensitive services such as voice and video, simplifying unified communications deployments while helping to ensure consistent network performance.
Link Layer Discovery Protocol with LLDP-MED Extensions
Allows the switch to advertise its identification, configuration, and capabilities to neighboring devices that store the data in a MIB (Management Information Base). Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) is an enhancement to LLDP that adds the extensions needed for IP phones.
Networkwide Automatic Voice Deployment
Using a combination of Cisco Discovery Protocol, LLDP-MED, Auto Smartports, and Voice Services Discovery Protocol (VSDP, a patented Cisco protocol), users can deploy an end-to-end voice network dynamically. The switches in the network automatically converge into a single voice VLAN and set of QoS parameters and then propagate them out to the phones on the ports where they are discovered. For example, automated voice VLAN capabilities let you plug any IP phone (including third-party phones) into your IP telephony network and receive an immediate dial tone. The switch automatically configures the device with the right VLAN and QoS parameters to prioritize voice traffic.
Energy-Saving Features
Energy Detect
Automatically turns power off on RJ-45 port when detecting link down. Active mode is resumed without loss of any packets when the switch detects the link is up.
Cable Length Detection
Adjusts the signal strength based on the cable length. Reduces power consumption for shorter cables.
Energy Efficient Ethernet
Supports IEEE 802.3az on all copper Gigabit Ethernet ports.
Manually Controlled LEDs
LEDs can be manually turned off to conserve power.
Time-Based Port Operation
Link up or down based on user-defined schedule (when the port is administratively up).
Time-based PoE
On PoE-capable models, PoE power can be on or off based on user-defined schedule to save energy.
Layer 2 Switching
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
Standard 802.1d spanning tree support. Fast convergence using 802.1w (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol), enabled by default. Multiple spanning tree instances using 802.1s (MSTP), with up to 8 instances supported.
Port Grouping/Link Aggregation
Support for IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). Up to 4 groups supported with up to 8 ports per group with 16 candidate ports for each (dynamic) 802.3ad LAG.
VLAN Support
Capable of handling up to 256 active VLANs simultaneously. Support for port-based and 802.1Q tag-based VLANs, management VLAN, and guest VLAN.
Voice VLAN
Voice traffic is automatically assigned to a voice-specific VLAN and treated with appropriate levels of QoS. Auto-voice capabilities deliver network-wide zero-touch deployment of voice endpoints and call control devices.
GVRP and GARP Support
Generic VLAN Registration and Generic Attribute Registration protocols for automatically propagating and configuring VLANs in a bridged domain.
IGMP Snooping
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) limits bandwidth-intensive multicast traffic to only the requesters. Supports 4K multicast groups; source-specific multicasting is also supported.
IGMP Querier
Used to support a Layer 2 multicast domain of snooping switches in the absence of a multicast router.
Loopback Detection
Provides protection against loops by transmitting loop protocol packets out of ports on which loop protection has been enabled. It operates independently of STP.
Layer 3
Layer 3 Static Routing
Allows you to segment your network into separate workgroups and communicate across VLANs without degrading application performance. As a result, you can manage internal routing with your switches and dedicate your router to external traffic and security, helping your network run more efficiently.
Layer 3 Routing Features
