CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA is a fanless, smart-managed desktop switch with eight Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports and two fixed Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks. Its Layer 2+ capabilities combine Ethernet switching with static routing for small-business networks connecting computers, IP phones, cameras and wireless access points. Each combo uplink uses either its copper connection or its fiber connection, not both simultaneously. The Business 250 series provides configuration controls beyond an unmanaged switch without requiring a modular chassis. The discontinued CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA sibling has a lower 60W PoE budget, distinguishing it from this full-PoE configuration. The compact enclosure uses an external AC adapter rather than an internal power supply.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA price for new stock is $416.85, a 39.8% saving from the Cisco list price of $692.74. CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA refurb price is $311.85. CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

20 Gbps switching capacity and 14.88 Mpps forwarding support the switch's access and uplink connections. A 120W shared PoE budget supplies connected devices according to their combined demand, rather than guaranteeing maximum output on every powered port simultaneously. Static routing supports 32 IPv4 routes and 16 IP interfaces for communication between local networks. CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA carries 512 MB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash memory, while a 1.5 MB packet buffer is shared across its ports. STP/RSTP/MSTP provide spanning-tree options, and LACP supports aggregated connections. The Cisco Business 250-8FP-E-2G Smart Switch also supports browser configuration and a scriptable CLI for administration. 147.48W maximum consumption, including PoE output at 110V input, is the relevant published figure for AC power planning.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA is available new sealed or certified refurbished; ORM offers up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port, firmware verified and configurations wiped to factory default. Specify condition, accessories and quantity on the PO; returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply, while Cisco's separate limited lifetime warranty ends October 31, 2029. Enterprise and volume procurement supports PO acceptance, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

When several locations need consistent settings, text-editable configuration files allow administrators to prepare configurations for transfer between switches. CLI privilege levels 1, 7 and 15 separate administrative access. Before the PO, specify the configuration ownership, operator access levels and staging responsibilities for each location.
When a branch rollout includes centrally coordinated provisioning, Cisco PnP Connect provides a deployment path beyond configuring each device individually. An embedded Cisco Business Dashboard probe also removes the need for a separate probe appliance on site. Specify the provisioning workflow and Dashboard arrangement before ordering.
When replacement equipment must be prepared before shipment to a site, dual firmware images support a controlled upgrade workflow. The front USB Type-A connection provides local file and image management. Define the approved firmware image, configuration file and acceptance checks before the staging quantity is placed on the PO.
10G uplinks to distribution
The fixed combo uplinks stop at 1G. C1200-24P-4X provides four 10G SFP+ uplinks, but also increases access density to 24 ports and changes the enclosure size.
Endpoints requiring more than 30W
Each powered access port delivers a maximum of 30W, subject to the shared budget. An endpoint requiring more than that cannot receive its required power from this switch.
Ongoing software security maintenance
Software maintenance and vulnerability/security support ended October 29, 2025. C1200-8FP-2G is the current migration model for buyers replacing discontinued hardware rather than retaining an existing installation.

CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA identifies a Cisco Business 250 smart switch: 8FP denotes eight Gigabit full-PoE access ports, E denotes external power, and 2G denotes two Gigabit combo uplinks. NA is the regional ordering suffix covering the United States, Canada, Mexico and additional Latin American markets, not a software license tier.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA supports a browser-based HTTP/HTTPS interface, CLI access through SSH or Telnet, an RJ-45 console, Cisco Business Dashboard and the Cisco Business mobile app. SNMP versions 1, 2c and 3 provide monitoring integration. Administrators can select local configuration or a coordinated management workflow.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA reached end of sale on October 29, 2024, with C1200-8FP-2G named as its replacement. Software maintenance and vulnerability/security support ended October 29, 2025. The last date of applicable Cisco service and support is October 31, 2029, subject to entitlement.
ORM Systems offers CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA new sealed or certified refurbished, with new-unit extended warranty options up to 3 years and refurbished coverage up to 1 year. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's separate limited lifetime warranty is bounded by the October 31, 2029 support deadline.
No, CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA has a 120W shared PoE budget, while eight ports at 30W each would require 240W. Individual ports support a maximum of 30W only while sufficient budget remains. Size the combined endpoint demand rather than treating the per-port maximum as an all-port guarantee.
The Business 250 eight-port full-PoE switch has two 1G copper/SFP combo uplinks, with one medium active per combo port. MGBSX1 supports multimode fiber connections and MGBLX1 supports single-mode fiber connections. Specify the appropriate transceivers for the installed fiber; the uplinks do not support 10G operation.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA provides static IPv4 routing with a maximum of 32 static routes and 16 IP interfaces. Layer 3 interfaces can use physical ports, link aggregation groups, VLAN interfaces or loopback interfaces. The switch is therefore a Layer 2+ option for networks whose routing requirements fit those limits.
No, the Cisco Business 250-8FP-E-2G Smart Switch has a compact 268 mm-wide desktop enclosure rather than a full-width chassis. Its dimensions are 268 mm wide, 185 mm deep and 44 mm high. A mounting kit is included, allowing the compact unit to be mounted without changing its enclosure dimensions.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA uses an included external AC adapter accepting 100-240V AC input. Maximum published consumption including PoE is 147.48W at 110V input. The adapter and mounting accessories are not separately orderable Cisco spare parts, so confirm the required accessories are included with the selected condition.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA provides a 120W PoE budget, while CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA provides 60W. Both configurations have eight Gigabit PoE+ access ports and two Gigabit combo uplinks. Both are discontinued; the full-PoE model suits higher combined endpoint demand, while the 60W model suits a smaller aggregate power requirement.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA uses an external AC adapter, whereas CBS250-16P-2G-NA uses an internal AC supply and increases access density from eight to 16 ports. Both have a 120W PoE budget and are discontinued. Existing-estate buyers should choose between compact external-power sparing and the denser internal-power configuration.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA has 512 MB of DRAM, while C1200-8FP-2G has 1 GB. C1200-8FP-2G is the current replacement for the discontinued Business 250 model. Buyers maintaining an existing installation may need the older part number; buyers standardizing on its successor should specify the Catalyst 1200 model.
