CBS250-8PP-E-2G provides fanless, smart-managed access switching with eight Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports and two fixed Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks. Each combo connection uses either copper or fiber, rather than providing two independent links. Layer 2+ functionality combines Ethernet switching with static routing for small-business networks connecting computers, IP phones, and wireless access points. The desktop chassis belongs to the Cisco Business 250 Series and uses an external AC adapter, keeping the power supply outside the enclosure. Copper connections accommodate local endpoints, while the combo uplinks allow the upstream connection to use the required medium. The discontinued CBS250-8P-E-2G differs by increasing the shared endpoint-power allocation to 60W. Both configurations remain distinct from enterprise switches with removable uplink cards or hardware stacking.
CBS250-8PP-E-2G price for new stock is $332.85, a 23% saving from the Cisco list price of $432.00. CBS250-8PP-E-2G refurb price is $336.00. CBS250-8PP-E-2G is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

20 Gbps switching capacity provides nonblocking forwarding across the available Ethernet connections. 14.88 Mpps forwarding handles 64-byte packets at the published wire-speed rate. 45W of shared PoE power requires allocation across connected endpoints rather than assuming every powered port can draw its individual maximum simultaneously. Static IPv4 routing supports 32 routes for configured next-hop paths; dynamic routing is not supported. CBS250-8PP-E-2G carries 512 MB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash for its operating software and configuration storage. A dynamically shared 1.5 MB packet buffer serves traffic across the ports, while the MAC table accommodates 8000 entries. STP, RSTP, and MSTP provide spanning-tree operation, and LACP supports negotiated link aggregation. Eight hardware queues support traffic prioritization, and access control supports 512 rules for filtering. The Cisco Business switching feature set also includes scheduled PoE operation. 66.02W maximum consumption, including PoE delivery, is the figure to use when allocating AC circuit capacity rather than treating the endpoint budget as total draw.
Specify CBS250-8PP-E-2G as new sealed or certified refurbished, and confirm condition, quantity, power lead, and configuration requirements on the PO. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, rated-speed port links, PoE output under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition, and rated adapter output; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. New units carry up to a 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished units carry up to a 1-year warranty, and every condition has 30-day returns with terms applying; Cisco's limited lifetime coverage ends October 31, 2029. POs are accepted, government buyers receive Net-30, and volume orders can specify regional stock and RMA handling across the UK, EU, US, and MEA, including RMA with advance replacement.

An office separating phones, employee devices, and shared resources needs local inter-VLAN connectivity without a dynamic routing design. The switch supports 16 IP interfaces for that layout, so count the interfaces needed for the planned networks and specify the addressing and route configuration before issuing the PO.
A multi-site rollout with centralized monitoring can use the embedded Cisco Business Dashboard probe instead of assigning a separate probe appliance or virtual machine at each location. Keep the dashboard host arrangement distinct from the site probe requirement, and confirm the management topology before ordering the site quantities.
A batch deployment requiring repeatable configurations can use text-editable configuration files transferred between switches during staging. CLI privilege levels 1, 7, and 15 allow separate access assignments for the people preparing and administering the units. Specify the configuration files and required administrator access before releasing the hardware PO.
10G uplinks to distribution
CBS250-8PP-E-2G has fixed 1G copper/SFP combo uplinks, not 10G uplinks or a removable uplink-card bay. A 10G distribution connection cannot be provided by this model.
Dynamic routing between network segments
CBS250-8PP-E-2G provides static routing rather than dynamic route exchange. Networks requiring automatically learned routes cannot use this switch as their dynamic routing device.
30W on every powered port
CBS250-8PP-E-2G shares 45W across eight powered ports. Eight endpoints drawing 30W each require 240W, so simultaneous maximum-power operation exceeds the available allocation.

CBS250-8PP-E-2G identifies a Cisco Business 250 smart switch: CBS250 is the family, 8 denotes eight Gigabit access ports, PP identifies partial PoE with a 45W budget, E identifies the external-power configuration, and 2G identifies two Gigabit combo uplinks. The powered access ports support PoE+, and the uplinks provide copper or SFP connectivity.
CBS250-8PP-E-2G is managed through its HTTP/HTTPS web UI, CLI over SSH or Telnet, RJ-45 console, Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app, and SNMP. The CLI supports full and menu-based interfaces; browser configuration includes wizards, monitoring, and basic or advanced views. SNMP supports versions 1, 2c, and 3.
CBS250-8PP-E-2G is discontinued: affected North American and European variants reached end of sale on October 29, 2024. Software maintenance and security support ended October 29, 2025, while the last date of support is October 31, 2029. No direct migration product is assigned to this partial-PoE configuration.
ORM Systems offers CBS250-8PP-E-2G new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1-year coverage on refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's limited lifetime hardware warranty remains bounded by October 31, 2029.
No operating license or subscription is required for CBS250-8PP-E-2G; its switch features are included with the hardware purchase. There is no mandatory subscription tier or minimum operating term to select. The same absence of an operating-subscription requirement applies when the hardware is ordered through ORM Systems as certified refurbished.
CBS250-8PP-E-2G provides a shared 45W PoE budget across eight PoE+ access ports, with an individual port limit of 30W. The budget applies to their combined allocation, not to each port independently. Eight simultaneous 30W loads would require 240W, so endpoint power requirements must be checked before the order.
CBS250-8PP-E-2G has two fixed 1G combo uplinks, each offering an RJ-45 connection or an SFP connection. The paired copper and fiber interfaces share the same logical port. Compatible fiber choices include MGBSX1 for multimode connections and MGBLX1 for single-mode connections; specify the required optics separately on the purchase order.
No, Cisco Business 250 switches do not form a hardware stack with unified traffic forwarding and a shared control plane. Cisco Business Dashboard can manage multiple devices, but that management arrangement does not turn independent switches into stack members. CBS250-8PP-E-2G therefore remains an individually configured switching device.
No, CBS250-8PP-E-2G has a desktop-width chassis measuring 268 mm wide, 185 mm deep, and 44 mm high, rather than a full-width 19-inch enclosure. A mounting kit is included with the original package, making the unit rack-mountable. Confirm that the mounting hardware is present when specifying the order condition.
CBS250-8PP-E-2G allocates 45W to PoE endpoints, whereas CBS250-8P-E-2G allocates 60W. Both retain eight PoE+ access ports and two Gigabit combo uplinks, so the power allocation is the distinguishing purchase consideration. Both models are discontinued; the 45W configuration suits lower aggregate endpoint draw, while the 60W configuration accommodates a larger allocation.
CBS250-8PP-E-2G uses an external AC adapter, whereas CBS250-16P-2G uses an internal universal AC power supply. The latter also has 16 access ports rather than eight, which changes the connection count. Both are discontinued; the eight-port configuration suits externally powered installations, while the 16-port configuration suits direct-AC installations requiring more connections.
CBS250-8PP-E-2G has two 1G copper/SFP combo uplinks, whereas CBS250-24P-4X has four 10G SFP+ uplinks and 24 access ports. Both models are discontinued. Existing networks using Gigabit upstream connections fit the smaller configuration; installations requiring 10G upstream connectivity and the larger access-port count correspond to the 24-port configuration.
CBS250-8PP-E-2G uses an included external AC adapter accepting 100-240V AC, with maximum consumption of 66.02W including PoE delivery. The adapter is part of the original package rather than a separately orderable spare. Confirm its presence and the required power lead when selecting the condition and preparing the purchase order.
Cisco Business 250 switches support 32 static IPv4 routes and 16 IP interfaces, rather than dynamic routing protocol operation. Layer 3 interfaces can be configured on a physical port, link aggregation group, VLAN interface, or loopback interface. The switching configuration also supports 255 active VLANs, which is distinct from the routed-interface limit.
