CBS250-8T-D is a fanless desktop smart switch with eight 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and Layer 2+ capability. An upstream 802.3af source can power the switch through port 1, while the included external AC adapter provides the other input method and takes priority when both are available. The copper-only configuration has no dedicated uplink ports, SFP cages, or removable network module bay, so an upstream connection uses an available Ethernet port. The Cisco Business 250 serves small-office computers, printers, and independently powered network devices rather than supplying endpoint power. Its discontinued sibling CBS250-8PP-D adds PoE+ output with a shared 45W budget. Distinguish receiving power from delivering power when matching this model to the equipment already installed.

16 Gbps switching capacity supports wire-speed, nonblocking forwarding. 11.9 Mpps forwarding is rated with 64-byte packets, so traffic sizing should distinguish packet rate from bandwidth. 32 IPv4 static routes carry inter-subnet traffic when the required paths are configured explicitly. 7.6W worst-case system consumption sets the power allocation for this 8-port Gigabit desktop switch. CBS250-8T-D carries 512 MB DRAM and 256 MB flash for its control software and stored images. Dynamically shared 1.5 MB packet buffers serve traffic across all ports; 255 active VLANs allow workgroup segmentation within the same hardware. STP/RSTP/MSTP and LACP provide loop-control and link-aggregation functions. Cisco Business 250 Series Smart Switches support a browser interface, remote CLI over SSH or Telnet, SNMP, Cisco Business Dashboard, and the Cisco Business mobile app. No RJ-45 console port is fitted, so local serial-console access is not an installation option.
Specify CBS250-8T-D as new sealed or certified refurbished, with the required regional power accessories on the PO. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested: power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, PoE-input startup, rated supplied-adapter output, verified firmware, and configuration 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, terms apply. Enterprise and volume orders accept POs and Net-30 for government, with RMA advance replacement and regional stock/RMA coverage in the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

Where small-office workgroups need communication between subnets, CBS250-8T-D supports 16 IP interfaces on physical ports, link aggregation groups, VLAN interfaces, or loopback interfaces. Prepare the addressing and interface plan before purchase. Count the required interfaces, including management needs, and confirm the design fits that limit before the PO.
When several small offices need matching settings, CBS250-8T-D supports text-editable configuration files that can be downloaded to another switch. Establish a controlled configuration baseline rather than relying on settings already present in replacement hardware. Identify the settings shared between sites, then specify site-specific addressing and the approved configuration before the PO.
When a staging bench needs packet inspection before equipment is issued, CBS250-8T-D can mirror traffic from four source ports to one destination port. Reserve a destination connection for the analyzer and decide which links require observation. Specify the capture arrangement and required patch cabling before the PO.
Endpoint power over Ethernet
CBS250-8T-D receives PoE but does not supply endpoint power. Current C1200-8P-E-2G provides eight PoE access ports plus two Gigabit combo uplinks for powered-endpoint requirements.
Fiber uplinks separate from access ports
CBS250-8T-D has no fiber cages or dedicated uplinks. Current C1200-8T-E-2G adds two Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks alongside eight Gigabit access ports.
Continuing vulnerability and security fixes
North American CBS250-8T-D vulnerability/security support ended October 29, 2025. C1200-8T-D is the current successor for buyers establishing an eight-port Gigabit desktop standard beyond this discontinued generation.

CBS250 identifies the Cisco Business 250 family, 8 specifies eight ports, T identifies non-PoE Gigabit Ethernet connections, and D means desktop in CBS250-8T-D. The model has no separate uplink or license suffix. North American orders use the regional CBS250-8T-D-NA variant.
Yes, CBS250-8T-D accepts 802.3af PoE on port 1 and can use that input as its sole power source. The supplied AC adapter takes priority when both inputs are available. Receiving PoE does not make the remaining Ethernet ports power sources for phones, cameras, or access points.
Cisco Business 250 switches support HTTP/HTTPS web management, CLI over SSH or Telnet, SNMP, Cisco Business Dashboard, and the Cisco Business mobile app. An embedded Dashboard probe removes the need for a separate probe appliance. CBS250-8T-D has no RJ-45 console connector, so its CLI access uses the network.
Business 250 smart switches require no switch license or subscription, and their built-in functions are included with the hardware purchase. CBS250-8T-D has no perpetual-tier selection or minimum subscription term for switch operation. Identify any separately purchased network-management software independently when preparing the hardware order.
Yes, CBS250-8T-D supports IPv4 static routing with 32 static routes and 16 IP interfaces. Interfaces can be assigned to physical ports, link aggregation groups, VLAN interfaces, or loopbacks. Include both the route plan and the interface plan in the purchase review before specifying the switch.
No, Cisco Business 250 Series Smart Switches do not support hardware stacking, including CBS250-8T-D. Dashboard management does not turn separate devices into a single forwarding stack. Plan inter-switch connections as ordinary network links and maintain a configuration plan for each switch rather than expecting a common stack control plane.
Yes, CBS250-8T-D is discontinued; the North American CBS250-8T-D-NA variant reached end of sale on October 29, 2024. Software maintenance and vulnerability/security support ended October 29, 2025. The last date for applicable Cisco support is October 31, 2029. Existing stock is distinct from a current Cisco production order.
CBS250-8T-D replaces the discontinued SG250-08 Gigabit Smart Switch in matched regional versions: SG250-08-K9-AU, SG250-08-K9-BR, SG250-08-K9-CN, SG250-08-K9-EU, SG250-08-K9-IN, SG250-08-K9-JP, SG250-08-K9-KR, SG250-08-K9-NA, and SG250-08-K9-UK. Those models reached end of sale July 30, 2022. Match the destination region and existing configuration requirements when replacing installed units.
New sealed and certified refurbished CBS250-8T-D units carry separate ORM warranties: up to 3-year extended coverage for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Every condition includes 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's platform warranty is Limited Lifetime, bounded by October 31, 2029, the last support date.
CBS250-8PP-D supplies PoE+ with a shared 45W budget, while CBS250-8T-D does not deliver endpoint power. The PoE sibling is also discontinued and has no current migration product. Its powered ports suit replacement-in-kind maintenance of PoE installations; the non-PoE model suits endpoints with independent power supplies.
CBS250-8T-E-2G adds two Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks, whereas CBS250-8T-D has no separate uplink ports. The combo model is discontinued; C1200-8T-E-2G is its current successor. Existing copper-only desktop connections suit CBS250-8T-D, while separate fiber uplink requirements point to the current combo-port replacement.
C1200-8T-D is a current orderable model, while CBS250-8T-D ended Cisco sales on October 29, 2024, for its North American variant. Both are eight-port Gigabit desktop switches. Replacement-in-kind purchases can retain the older model; a new-generation standard should specify C1200-8T-D rather than extending a discontinued hardware baseline.
