Redundant Power System
The Cisco Catalyst 3560 v2 Series access switches support the new generation of Cisco RPS 2300, which increases
availability in a converged data, voice, and video network by providing transparent power backup to two of six
attached Cisco Catalyst 3560 v2 Series Switches at the same time. The Cisco Catalyst 3560 v2 Series switches are
capable of reverting back to their internal power supply without any service interruption. In addition, the RPS 2300
can be managed via a Cisco Catalyst 3560 v2 Series switch that is connected to the RPS 2300.
Cisco Catalyst 3560 SFP Interconnect Cable
The Cisco Catalyst 3560 SFP Interconnect Cable (see Figure 2) provides for a low-cost point-to-point Gigabit
Ethernet connection between Cisco Catalyst 3560 v2 switches. The 50cm cable is an alternative to using SFP
transceivers when interconnecting Cisco Catalyst 3560 v2 switches through their SFP ports over a short distance.

Primary Features and Benefits
Ease of Use and Deployment
The Cisco Catalyst 3560 v2 series offers several ease of use features, which enable fast and easy configuration of
advanced Cisco Catalyst capabilities. These features include:
●
Cisco SmartPorts simplify the configuration of advanced Cisco Catalyst capabilities, encapsulating years of
Cisco networking expertise. Cisco SmartPort macros offer a set of verified, pretested, Cisco-recommended
switch port configurations or templates per connection type that are easy to apply, enabling users to
consistently and reliably configure essential security, IP Telephony, availability, QoS, and manageability
features with minimal effort and expertise.
●
Cisco AutoSmartPorts automatically execute SmartPort macros based on the end device type, such as IP
Phones, Desktop Computers, and WLAN Access Points.
●
Cisco Express Setup simplifies initial configuration with a Web browser, eliminating the need for more
complex terminal emulation programs and CLI knowledge.
●
IEEE 802.3af and Cisco prestandard PoE support comes with automatic discovery to detect a Cisco
prestandard or IEEE 802.3af endpoint and provide the necessary power without any user configuration.
●
DHCP autoconfiguration of multiple switches through a boot server eases switch deployment.
