Fanless Access Switching for Small Business Networks

CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA is a fanless, smart-managed Layer 2+ desktop switch with eight Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports and two fixed Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks. Each combo uplink uses either its copper connection or its SFP cage, not both simultaneously. The Cisco Business 250 combines access switching with static routing for small-business networks serving IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, and ordinary wired clients. The compact enclosure supports desktop placement, while included mounting hardware provides another installation option. PoE+ supplies endpoint power through the access cabling; the combo uplinks provide a choice between copper and fiber connections without a removable uplink card. The discontinued CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA increases the shared endpoint-power allowance to 120W, distinguishing it from this lower-budget configuration.

CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA price for new stock is $343.35, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $686.70. CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA refurb price is $290.85. CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

20 Gbps switching capacity provides nonblocking forwarding across the available connections, while 14.88 Mpps forwarding handles minimum-size Ethernet packets. 60W of shared PoE power must accommodate the connected endpoints rather than eight simultaneous maximum-power loads. Static IPv4 routing supports 32 routes for communication between configured networks; dynamic routing is not part of this configuration. CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA carries 512 MB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash for operation and image storage. Its 1.5 MB packet buffer is shared across ports, while the MAC table accommodates 8000 addresses. STP, RSTP, and MSTP provide spanning-tree options, and LACP supports aggregated connections. Browser configuration, a scriptable CLI, Cisco Business Dashboard, and the Cisco Business mobile app provide management paths. 80.86W maximum power consumption supplies the upper published input figure for electrical sizing, including PoE operation.

Ordering

CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA is available new sealed or certified refurbished; specify condition and volume quantities on the purchase order. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition, rated adapter output, verified firmware, and configuration wiped to factory default. ORM warranties provide up to 3-year extended coverage for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units; every condition has 30-day returns, terms apply. POs are accepted, with Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

Buying Notes

Best For

Legacy Spare Replacement

When replacing a discontinued SG250-10P-K9-NA, CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA is its named replacement. Treat the change as a hardware refresh rather than assuming an existing configuration can be reused unchanged. Inventory the connected devices, existing uplink media, and installation accessories, then specify the exact regional PID and required condition on the purchase order.

Static Routing Expansion

When adding routed connections between local networks, account for the limit of 16 IP interfaces before selecting hardware quantities. Map the required interfaces to the planned network boundaries and reserve room for management addressing. Include the interface plan with the equipment request so the routing requirement is checked before the PO.

Traffic Capture Staging

When staging equipment for troubleshooting, port mirroring can send traffic from four source ports to one destination port. Identify the interfaces to capture and the analyzer connection before reserving a unit. Specify the capture arrangement and required cables with the staging order rather than treating every connection as an ordinary endpoint port.

Not Suitable If

10G uplinks to distribution

The fixed combo uplinks are limited to 1G. C1200-24P-4X provides four 10G SFP+ uplinks, but increases access-port density to 24 ports rather than eight.

Endpoints requiring more than 30W

PoE+ access ports provide at most 30W each, so endpoints requiring higher per-port power cannot be supplied at their required power level through this switch.

Questions & Answers

What does the CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA part number mean?

CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA identifies a Business 250 smart switch: CBS250 names the family, 8P denotes eight Gigabit PoE+ access ports, E identifies external power, and 2G denotes two Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks. NA specifies the United States, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and other Latin American markets.

How is CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA managed?

CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA supports a web interface over HTTP/HTTPS, CLI access through its console or SSH/Telnet, Cisco Business Dashboard, and the Cisco Business mobile app. SNMP provides monitoring and management integration, while Cisco Network Plug and Play supports provisioning. Select the required access methods during staging and configure administrative access before deployment.

How much PoE power does CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA provide?

CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA provides a shared 60W PoE budget across eight powered access ports, with a maximum of 30W on an individual port. Eight simultaneous 30W loads would require 240W, exceeding the available budget. Size the order against aggregate endpoint demand rather than assuming every powered port can supply its maximum simultaneously.

Which uplinks and optics can CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA use?

CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA has two fixed 1G copper/SFP combo uplinks, with one connection active in each pair. Supported Gigabit optics include MGBSX1 for multimode fiber and MGBLX1 for single-mode fiber. Match the transceiver, fiber type, and link distance before adding optics to the purchase order; the uplinks do not provide 10G operation.

Can the Business 250 route between VLANs?

The Business 250 supports static IPv4 routing between configured networks, with 32 static routes and 16 IP interfaces. This makes the configuration Layer 2+ rather than a dynamic-routing switch. Count the required routes and interfaces separately, and confirm that the deployment does not depend on dynamic route exchange before selecting this model.

What power supply does CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA use?

CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA uses an external AC power adapter supplied with the device, accepting 100-240V AC input. The enclosure does not use an internal redundant power-supply arrangement. Confirm the adapter and regional power connection are included with the ordered unit, particularly when specifying certified refurbished hardware for replacement inventory.

Is the 8-port Gigabit PoE+ switch a desktop or rack model?

The 8-port Gigabit PoE+ switch is a desktop-sized enclosure measuring 268 mm wide, 185 mm deep, and 44 mm high. Mounting hardware is included for installation flexibility. Allow space for the external adapter and cable connections, and confirm the mounting accessories supplied with the individual order before allocating installation space.

Is CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA discontinued?

Yes, CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA reached end of sale on October 29, 2024, and its last date of support is October 31, 2029. Software maintenance and vulnerability support ended on October 29, 2025. C1200-8P-E-2G is the replacement PID; remaining hardware support does not extend the ended software-support milestones.

Which older switch does CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA replace?

CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA replaces SG250-10P-K9-NA, which reached end of sale on October 30, 2021. The replacement retains the described eight-port Gigabit PoE access configuration with two Gigabit combo connections. CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA is itself discontinued, so the forward replacement chain now ends at C1200-8P-E-2G for a current-model purchase.

What condition and warranty options does ORM Systems offer for CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA?

ORM Systems offers CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended coverage for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's separate limited lifetime hardware warranty is subject to its terms, with Cisco service ending October 31, 2029.

What is the difference between CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA and CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA?

CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA has a 60W shared PoE budget, while CBS250-8FP-E-2G-NA has 120W. Both models are discontinued. The 60W configuration suits replacement requirements with lower aggregate endpoint demand; the 120W configuration accommodates a larger shared power allocation, but neither budget means all eight ports can draw 30W simultaneously.

What is the difference between CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA and CBS250-16P-2G-NA?

CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA uses an external AC adapter, while CBS250-16P-2G-NA uses an internal AC power supply. Both models are discontinued. The externally powered configuration suits like-for-like adapter-based replacements; the internally powered configuration suits installations using direct AC cabling to the switch rather than a separate power adapter.

What is the difference between CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA and C1200-8P-E-2G?

CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA is discontinued, while C1200-8P-E-2G is its current replacement in the Catalyst 1200 family. The replacement preserves the described eight Gigabit access ports, external power, and two Gigabit combo connections. Existing Business 250 replacement inventories may require the older PID; new-model purchasing follows the replacement PID.
