CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA is a fanless, smart-managed desktop switch with eight Gigabit Ethernet access ports and two fixed Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks. Layer 2+ functionality combines Ethernet switching with static routing for small-business networks that need communication between separate workgroups. The access ports provide data connectivity without PoE output, so connected equipment needs its own power source. The Cisco Business 250 configuration accommodates copper access connections and fiber uplinks without a removable uplink card. Within the discontinued family, CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA adds PoE+ with a shared 60W budget; the non-PoE model instead serves installations where endpoint power is already handled separately. The compact chassis suits desktop placement rather than requiring a full-width equipment enclosure.
CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA price for new stock is $238.35, a 53.5% saving from the Cisco list price of $513.00. CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA refurb price is $209.99. CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

20 Gbps switching capacity provides nonblocking forwarding across the available connections. 14.88 Mpps forwarding at 64-byte packet sizes describes packet-processing performance independently of aggregate bandwidth. Static routing supports 32 IPv4 routes for local subnet communication, rather than dynamic route exchange. CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA carries 512 MB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash for operation and image storage. A dynamically shared 1.5 MB packet buffer serves traffic across the ports, while eight hardware queues support traffic scheduling. STP, RSTP and MSTP provide loop-control options, and LACP groups links for aggregation. Administrators can configure access controls using 512 ACL rules and use RADIUS authentication for management access. Browser configuration offers basic and advanced modes, while the scriptable CLI supports command-based administration. A maximum draw of 12.56W provides the switch's own electrical load for power planning; endpoint power must be sized separately because the access interfaces do not supply PoE.
Order CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, specifying quantity and condition on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, optics bay recognition, clean boot and rated adapter output; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. ORM provides up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, plus 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco's separate limited lifetime warranty is subject to eligibility and Cisco service ends October 31, 2029. Enterprise and volume orders can use accepted POs, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

When several small sites need a common administration workflow, Cisco Business Dashboard can use the embedded probe without a separate local appliance or virtual machine. Cisco Network Plug and Play also supports device provisioning. Specify the dashboard environment, administrative access and onboarding workflow before placing the purchase order.
When a small location needs communication between separate workgroups, local routing can keep that traffic within the site while an upstream router handles external connectivity. The switch supports 16 IP interfaces, including VLAN interfaces. Check the required interface count and identify which device owns each gateway before ordering.
When replacement units must be prepared before installation, dual firmware images and text-editable configuration files support a repeatable staging process. Port mirroring can send traffic from four source ports to one analysis destination. Specify the approved image, configuration file and packet-capture connections before releasing the staging purchase order.
PoE-powered phones or access points
CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA provides no PoE output. C1200-8P-E-2G supplies eight PoE+ access ports with a shared 67W budget while retaining two Gigabit combo uplinks.
10G uplinks to distribution
CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA has fixed 1G combo uplinks without a removable uplink-card bay. A 10G distribution handoff requires different switch hardware, not a replacement transceiver.
Continuing software and vulnerability maintenance
CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA software maintenance and vulnerability support ended October 29, 2025. C1200-8T-E-2G is the current replacement for purchases requiring an ongoing software lifecycle.

CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA identifies a Business 250 smart switch: CBS250 names the series, 8T identifies eight non-PoE Gigabit access ports, E identifies external power, and 2G identifies two Gigabit combo uplinks. NA is the regional suffix covering the United States, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Chile and the rest of Latin America except separately designated regions.
CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA supports HTTP/HTTPS browser management, a CLI through the RJ-45 console or SSH/Telnet, SNMP versions 1, 2c and 3, Cisco Business Dashboard and the Cisco Business mobile app. The embedded dashboard probe avoids a separate local probe appliance, while Cisco Network Plug and Play supports provisioning.
CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA is discontinued: end of sale was October 29, 2024, and software maintenance and vulnerability support ended October 29, 2025. The last date of hardware support is October 31, 2029, subject to entitlement. C1200-8T-E-2G is the current replacement for a new purchasing standard.
ORM Systems offers CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's separate platform warranty is limited lifetime, subject to eligibility, with Cisco service ending October 31, 2029.
Yes, CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA has two Gigabit combo uplinks, each offering an RJ-45 connection and an SFP cage with only one active at a time. Supported fiber options include GLC-SX-MMD for multimode connections and GLC-LH-SMD for single-mode connections. Optics must match the remote endpoint and fiber plant.
Yes, CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA supports static routing between VLANs, with 32 IPv4 static routes and 16 IP interfaces. The switch can place routing interfaces on VLANs, physical ports, link aggregation groups or loopback interfaces. This is Layer 2+ functionality rather than a dynamic-routing feature set.
CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA uses an external AC adapter with a 100-240V AC input range; the original package includes the adapter. Maximum system consumption is 12.56W. The access ports do not provide PoE, so phones, access points and other connected equipment require their own power arrangements.
Yes, the Business 250 eight-port combo model supports rack mounting using its included mounting kit, although the 268 mm-wide chassis is a desktop form factor rather than a full-width rack chassis. The enclosure measures 44 mm high and 185 mm deep and weighs 1.39 kg.
The Business 250 eight-port combo model provides 20 Gbps switching capacity and 14.88 Mpps forwarding at 64-byte packet sizes. Forwarding is wire-speed and nonblocking. Its 1.5 MB packet buffer is dynamically shared across the ports, and the MAC address table accommodates 8000 entries.
CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA has non-PoE access ports, whereas CBS250-8P-E-2G-NA supplies PoE+ with a shared 60W budget. Both models are discontinued and retain two Gigabit combo uplinks. The non-PoE configuration suits separately powered equipment; the PoE configuration serves powered endpoints whose combined demand stays within its allocation.
CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA uses an external AC adapter, whereas CBS250-16T-2G-NA has an internal universal AC supply. Both models are discontinued. The external-adapter configuration suits buyers maintaining that existing power arrangement; the internal-supply configuration suits buyers standardizing on a direct AC connection to the switch chassis.
C1200-8T-E-2G is the current replacement, whereas CBS250-8T-E-2G-NA reached end of sale on October 29, 2024. Both provide eight Gigabit access ports and two Gigabit combo uplinks. The discontinued model serves installed-base continuity; the replacement suits buyers establishing a current hardware standard for subsequent purchases.
