CBS250-8FP-E-2G is a fanless, smart-managed desktop switch with eight Gigabit PoE+ access ports and two fixed Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks. Each combo connection uses either its copper interface or its SFP interface, not both simultaneously. Static routing places the switch in the Layer 2+ category. The Cisco Business 250 Series Smart Switches serve small-business networks connecting computers, phones, wireless access points, and cameras. The discontinued CBS250-8P-E-2G carries a lower shared PoE budget, making endpoint power demand the distinguishing purchase consideration between these otherwise closely related configurations. The compact chassis uses an external AC adapter rather than an internal power supply.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G price for new stock is $519.75, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,039.50. CBS250-8FP-E-2G refurb price is $311.85. CBS250-8FP-E-2G is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

20 Gbps switching capacity and 14.88 Mpps forwarding support wire-speed, nonblocking forwarding. 120W of shared PoE power must be allocated across connected powered devices rather than treated as a simultaneous maximum for every port. Static IPv4 routing supports 32 routes, providing a defined ceiling for locally configured paths. CBS250-8FP-E-2G contains 512 MB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash memory. STP/RSTP/MSTP and LACP provide loop-control and link-aggregation functions. Browser-based configuration, a scriptable CLI, and SNMP support different operational workflows for Cisco Business switches. Dynamic routing is not part of this configuration, so a design requiring learned routes needs a different capability set rather than an additional license.
Order CBS250-8FP-E-2G new sealed or certified refurbished, specifying the required condition and accessories on the PO. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, rated-speed links on every port, PoE output under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition, and rated adapter output; firmware is verified and configuration is wiped to factory default. New units carry up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns with terms applying. ORM Systems accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, and supports enterprise and volume orders through regional stock and RMA coverage in the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

A site adding wireless access points, cameras, and phones needs each powered device's maximum demand before assigning connections. Individual powered ports can deliver 30W, but simultaneous demand must fit the shared switch allocation. Before the PO, total the endpoint requirements and identify which devices receive priority when available power is exhausted.
A small-business network separating voice, camera, and office traffic needs an interface plan before placing routing locally. The switch supports 16 IP interfaces, so the design must account for each routed segment rather than just physical connections. Before the PO, map the required interfaces and verify that their total fits.
An organization standardizing CBS250-8FP-E-2G across offices needs a repeatable provisioning plan rather than separate manual builds. Cisco Network Plug and Play supports provisioning, while text-editable configuration files can be downloaded to another switch. Before the PO, specify the staging configuration, provisioning workflow, and management responsibility for each location.
10G uplinks to distribution
CBS250-8FP-E-2G has 1G uplinks. C1200-24P-4X provides four 10G SFP+ uplinks and 24 Gigabit access ports, increasing access-port density as well as uplink speed.
Eight simultaneous 30W powered endpoints
Eight ports × 30W requires 240W, exceeding the 120W shared budget. CBS250-8FP-E-2G cannot supply every powered port at its individual maximum simultaneously.
Automatically learned network routes
CBS250-8FP-E-2G provides static IPv4 routing with 32 routes and 16 IP interfaces. Routes require explicit configuration rather than learning through a dynamic routing protocol.

CBS250-8FP-E-2G identifies the Cisco Business 250 family: 8 denotes eight Gigabit access ports, FP identifies the full-PoE configuration, E identifies an external power supply, and 2G identifies two Gigabit copper/SFP combo connections. The power allocation is shared, and the part number carries no network-license tier suffix.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G supports a web UI, CLI through its console or SSH/Telnet, SNMP, Cisco Business Dashboard, and the Cisco Business mobile app. The CLI supports full and menu-based operation. Choose the management workflow before staging so configuration access and monitoring responsibilities are established before installation.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G is discontinued; the North American CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA ordering variant reached end of sale on October 29, 2024. Software maintenance and vulnerability support ended October 29, 2025. Eligible Cisco hardware service ends October 31, 2029, and C1200-8FP-2G is the current migration replacement.
ORM Systems offers CBS250-8FP-E-2G new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days on either condition; terms apply. Cisco's separate limited lifetime coverage is eligibility-dependent and ends October 31, 2029.
The Cisco Business 250 series requires no separate switch-feature license or subscription; functionality is included with the hardware purchase. There is no network-license tier or minimum subscription term to add to the order. The same absence of a mandatory software subscription applies when ordering an ORM certified refurbished unit.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G provides a shared 120W PoE budget across eight powered access ports, with a 30W individual port ceiling. Eight simultaneous 30W loads would require 240W, so the shared allocation prevents that combination. Size the order against combined endpoint demand rather than the individual port maximum alone.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G has two fixed 1G copper/SFP combo uplinks, with one interface active per combo connection. MGBSX1 supports multimode fiber reaching 500 m, while MGBLX1 supports single-mode fiber reaching 10 km. Specify transceivers separately and match the fiber type and far-end interface before placing the order.
Yes, CBS250-8FP-E-2G supports static IPv4 routing between configured interfaces, with 32 static routes and 16 IP interfaces. The routing configuration can use VLAN interfaces as well as physical ports, LAGs, or loopback interfaces. Count the required routed segments and configured paths before selecting this switch for inter-VLAN routing.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G uses an external AC adapter supplied with the base package, accepting 100-240V AC. Worst-case consumption including PoE is 147.48W at 110V or 145.26W at 220V. Include adapter placement and AC access in the installation plan rather than treating the switch as an internally powered chassis.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G provides 120W of shared PoE power, while CBS250-8P-E-2G provides 60W. Both models are discontinued, so the comparison concerns legacy replacement or expansion orders. The higher-budget configuration suits larger combined endpoint demand; the lower-budget configuration suits existing installations whose powered devices fit its smaller allocation.
CBS250-8FP-E-2G uses an external AC adapter, whereas CBS250-16P-2G uses an internal AC power supply and has 16 access ports rather than eight. Both models are discontinued. The eight-port configuration suits external-adapter replacement locations; the larger configuration suits like-for-like legacy installations requiring an internally powered switch.
C1200-8FP-2G is the current migration replacement for discontinued CBS250-8FP-E-2G. Both configurations provide eight Gigabit access ports, full PoE, and two Gigabit combo connections. CBS250-8FP-E-2G suits a like-for-like legacy replacement requirement; C1200-8FP-2G suits a migration order that does not require retaining the discontinued Business 250 model.
The Cisco Business 250 eight-port full-PoE switch is fanless and rack-mountable using its mounting kit, while its 268 mm-wide chassis remains a desktop form factor. CBS250-8FP-E-2G measures 185 mm deep and 44 mm high, weighs 1.53 kg, and operates from -5°C to 50°C.
