Fanless Access Connectivity for Small Business Networks

CBS250-24P-4X is a fanless, smart-managed Layer 2+ access switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports and PoE+ for phones, wireless access points and video cameras. Four fixed 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks connect the access network to upstream equipment without an additional uplink card. The full-width 1U rack chassis belongs to the Business 250 series, combining Ethernet switching with static routing for small-business networks. Browser-based configuration and remote management distinguish this configuration from an unmanaged switch. The discontinued CBS250-24FP-4X increases the available endpoint power budget to 370W, making power allocation the principal difference between these two otherwise similarly configured access models.

CBS250-24P-4X price for new stock is $834.75, a 34.1% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,267.65. CBS250-24P-4X refurb price is $498.75. CBS250-24P-4X is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

128 Gbps switching capacity accommodates simultaneous access and uplink traffic. 95.23 Mpps forwarding at a 64-byte packet size defines the packet-processing rate independently of that bandwidth figure. 195W of shared PoE capacity requires endpoint allocations to remain within the switch total; individual powered ports can supply 30W. 32 static IPv4 routes support routing between configured networks, with 16 IP interfaces available for addressing. Dynamic route learning is not part of this static-routing configuration. The forwarding system holds 8000 MAC addresses and supports 255 active VLANs for network segmentation. CBS250-24P-4X combines 512 MB of DRAM, 256 MB of flash and a dynamically shared 1.5 MB packet buffer. STP/RSTP/MSTP provide Layer 2 loop-control options, while LACP supports aggregated Ethernet links. 240.4W worst-case consumption at 110V includes PoE delivery and is the relevant published maximum when sizing the AC power feed, rather than treating the endpoint budget as the complete input requirement.

Ordering

ORM Systems offers CBS250-24P-4X in new sealed and certified refurbished condition; specify the required condition, regional version and quantity on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port, firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. New units carry an ORM warranty of up to 3-year extended coverage, certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns with terms applying. For enterprise and volume orders, ORM Systems accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA in the UK, EU, US and MEA.

Best For

Branch Configuration Rollout

A branch rollout requiring common configurations across locations can use text-editable configuration files and protected SCP downloads. The CLI provides privilege levels 1, 7 and 15, separating administrator access during staging. Define the configuration baseline, administrator permissions and site-specific addressing before placing the purchase order.

Replacement Unit Staging

When a replacement unit must be prepared before a scheduled change, dual firmware images permit staged upgrades without treating the running image as the only copy. Front-panel USB Type-A supports file and image handling. Specify the required firmware revision, saved configuration and acceptance checks before ordering the replacement.

Scheduled Endpoint Power

A rollout with endpoints operating only during defined hours can use time-based PoE to schedule port power independently of scheduled link operation. Eight hardware queues support traffic prioritization when voice and other business traffic share the network. Specify endpoint power schedules and the QoS configuration before the purchase order.

Not Suitable If

Maximum power on every powered port

The shared 195W budget does not allow all 24 ports to deliver 30W simultaneously. A requirement for maximum output on every powered port needs a higher-total PoE power design.

Dynamic routing between network segments

IPv4 routing is limited to 32 static routes and 16 IP interfaces. A network requiring dynamically learned routes needs an upstream routing device rather than this static-routing configuration.

Continuing Cisco security maintenance releases

Security maintenance ended October 29, 2025. New deployments requiring continuing vulnerability remedies should follow the replacement route to C1200-24P-4X rather than specifying the discontinued Business 250 model.

Questions & Answers

What does each segment of CBS250-24P-4X mean?

CBS250-24P-4X identifies a Business 250 smart switch: CBS250 names the family, 24 indicates 24 access ports, P denotes PoE+ and 4X denotes four 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks. The configuration includes a 195W PoE budget and rack mounting; regional order codes identify the country or region.

How is the Cisco Business 250 series managed?

The Cisco Business 250 series supports a browser-based HTTP/HTTPS interface, console CLI, SSH or Telnet access, Cisco Business Dashboard and the Cisco Business mobile app. SNMP versions 1, 2c and 3 support monitoring, while Network Plug and Play supports provisioning. The embedded Dashboard probe runs on the switch.

Is CBS250-24P-4X discontinued?

Yes, CBS250-24P-4X reached end of sale on October 29, 2024, and its replacement is C1200-24P-4X. Software maintenance, vulnerability remedies and complimentary phone support ended October 29, 2025. The last date of applicable Cisco service and support is October 31, 2029, subject to entitlement and warranty conditions.

What condition and warranty options does ORM Systems offer for CBS250-24P-4X?

ORM Systems supplies CBS250-24P-4X new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM warranties of up to 3-year extended coverage for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Cisco's limited lifetime hardware warranty is bounded by October 31, 2029. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply.

Which older switches did CBS250-24P-4X replace?

CBS250-24P-4X replaced the discontinued SG250X-24P-K9-AU, SG250X-24P-K9-BR, SG250X-24P-K9-EU, SG250X-24P-K9-NA and SG250X-24P-K9-UK models, whose end-of-sale date was October 30, 2021. Regional versions follow their corresponding CBS250 ordering codes. The replacement chain now continues to C1200-24P-4X, rather than stopping at the discontinued Business 250 generation.

How much PoE power does CBS250-24P-4X provide?

CBS250-24P-4X provides a shared 195W PoE budget across 24 powered ports, with 30W maximum output available on an individual port. PoE+ capability does not reserve 30W simultaneously for every endpoint. Sum the required endpoint allocations before ordering, including phones, access points and other powered devices.

Which optics work with the Business 250 10G uplinks?

Business 250 10G uplinks support SFP-10G-SR for multimode fiber and SFP-10G-LR for single-mode fiber, alongside other supported transceivers. SFP-H10GB-CU3M provides a 3 m copper direct-attach connection. Select the accessory PID to match the cable medium, distance and interface at the other end of the link.

Can the Cisco Business 250 series route between VLANs?

Yes, the Cisco Business 250 series supports static IPv4 routing between configured networks, with 32 static routes and 16 IP interfaces. Layer 3 interfaces can be configured on a physical port, LAG, VLAN interface or loopback interface. This static-routing capability does not provide dynamically learned routes.

Is CBS250-24P-4X a rack-mount or desktop switch?

CBS250-24P-4X is a full-width Rack-Mount 1U switch measuring 445 mm wide, 299 mm deep and 44 mm high, with a weight of 3.68 kg. A mounting kit and power cord are included in the original package. Allow chassis clearance and confirm accessory inclusion for the selected order condition.

Can Cisco Business 250 switches form a hardware stack?

No, Cisco Business 250 switches do not support hardware stacking. Ethernet links between standalone switches remain network connections rather than stack connections, even when 10G uplinks are used. Specify management and configuration for each unit separately instead of adding a stacking kit to the purchase order.

What is the difference between CBS250-24P-4X and CBS250-24FP-4X?

CBS250-24P-4X provides a 195W PoE budget, while CBS250-24FP-4X provides 370W for endpoint power allocation. Both models are discontinued. The lower-budget configuration suits an existing installation with lighter aggregate endpoint demand; the higher-budget configuration accommodates a larger total allocation, still subject to its shared switch budget.

What is the difference between CBS250-24P-4X and CBS250-24P-4G?

CBS250-24P-4X carries four 10G SFP+ uplinks, whereas CBS250-24P-4G carries four 1G SFP uplinks. Both models are discontinued. The 4X configuration matches an installed network requiring 10G upstream connections; the 4G configuration matches an existing Gigabit uplink design where that lower uplink speed meets the requirement.

What is the difference between CBS250-24P-4X and C1200-24P-4X?

CBS250-24P-4X is discontinued, while C1200-24P-4X is its current Catalyst 1200 replacement. Both configurations have 24 Gigabit access ports with PoE and four 10G SFP+ uplinks. The older model suits an installed-base replacement requirement; C1200-24P-4X is the migration choice when procurement specifies the current successor.
