Layer 2+ Connectivity for Small Branch Edges

CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK is an 8-port Gigabit smart managed switch with two fixed 1G copper/SFP combo uplinks for small-business edge connectivity. The Cisco Business 250 Series model provides Layer 2+ operation with static routing, a compact desktop-sized chassis and external AC power, while keeping the access ports data-only for non-PoE endpoints such as PCs, printers, firewalls and local servers. Each combo uplink uses either its RJ-45 side or SFP side, so fiber and copper handoffs should be planned per port pair. Cisco Business 250-8T-E-2G Smart Switch buyers comparing a powered sibling should note that CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK adds eight PoE+ ports with a 60W power budget, while this 8-port Gigabit smart switch with 2x1G combo uplinks is for data-only access.

Technical Details

20 Gbps switching capacity and 14.88 Mpps forwarding support wire-speed, nonblocking traffic across the copper access ports and combo uplinks. Static IPv4 routing scales to 32 routes with up to 16 IP interfaces, and IPv6 routing is also supported for Layer 3 interfaces on physical ports, LAGs, VLAN interfaces or loopbacks. CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK maintains an 8000-entry MAC table, 255 active VLANs and a 1.5 MB dynamically shared packet buffer. STP, RSTP, MSTP, LACP, IGMP snooping and IGMP querier functions cover common Layer 2 edge requirements, while DHCP relay and UDP relay support routed segmentation. Management options include Cisco Business Dashboard embedded probe support, Cisco Business mobile app, HTTP/HTTPS web UI, full and menu CLI, SNMP, SSH v1/v2 and Telnet server support. No hardware stacking is provided on the Business 250 smart managed platform.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Lifecycle dates

End-of-sale occurred 29 October 2024, software maintenance and planned security support ended 29 October 2025, and Cisco's last support date is 31 October 2029.

Combo uplink choice

Each combo uplink uses either the 10/100/1000 copper side or the SFP side at one time, so order optics only for ports planned as fiber.

No license term

The switch is ordered as hardware with embedded smart managed software; no separate software tier or subscription term is attached to this product ID.

Accessory handling

The 8-port package includes an external power adapter and mounting kit, and those accessories are handled through warranty support rather than ordered as spare SKUs.

Best For

Branch Office Refresh

A small branch with PCs, printers and a local firewall can standardize on eight 10/100/1000 access ports while keeping two combo uplinks for copper or fiber handoff. Specify the -UK regional SKU, external power location and whether the uplinks will consume RJ-45 or SFP sides before the PO.

Fiber Handoff Cabinets

A retail or education cabinet that needs fiber back to a router can use the two Gigabit combo ports without increasing the access-port count beyond eight. Because each combo pair supports only one active side, specify the SFP optics and leave the paired copper uplink unused in the site plan.

Installed Base Sparing

Sites already running Cisco Business 250 smart switches may need an exact non-PoE spare through the 31 October 2029 support window. Match CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK, firmware baseline and regional suffix on the purchase order, then stage configuration backup and wipe procedures before shipping to the site.

Not Suitable If

Powered endpoint ports

The SKU has eight data-only 10/100/1000 ports and no PoE budget; C1200-8P-E-2G is named for 8-port PoE+ with combo uplinks.

10G fiber uplinks

The fixed combo uplinks are Gigabit only; C1200-24T-4X adds four 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks but also moves to 24 access ports.

Hardware stacking

The platform has no stacking kit, stacking cables or member-count specification; move to a stack-capable series if hardware stacking is required.

Questions & Answers

What is CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK?

CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK is a Cisco Business 250 Series smart managed Layer 2+ switch with eight 10/100/1000 access ports and two Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks. The unit is non-PoE, uses an external AC adapter and targets small-business edge connectivity where static routing and web-based management are required.

What does the CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK part number mean?

CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK identifies a Cisco Business 250 smart switch with eight 10/100/1000 ports, two Gigabit copper/SFP combo ports and the -UK country/region suffix. The ordering description also separates this configuration from PoE models by listing data ports only, without a PoE power budget.

How is CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK managed?

CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK is managed through Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app, the web UI over HTTP/HTTPS, a full or menu CLI, SNMP and secure access using SSH v1/v2. Telnet server support is also part of the IPv6 application set, so management access should be governed by site policy.

Is CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK end-of-sale?

CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK is end-of-sale, with the final order date on 29 October 2024 and last ship date on 27 January 2025. Software maintenance and planned security support ended 29 October 2025, while the last date of Cisco support is 31 October 2029.

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

CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK carries Cisco's limited lifetime warranty, bounded by the 31 October 2029 last support date. ORM Systems supplies new sealed units with up to a 3-year extended warranty or Certified refurbished units with up to 1 year, plus 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply.

Does CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK require a Cisco software subscription?

CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK does not require a separate Cisco software subscription for the smart managed feature set. The product is ordered as switch hardware with embedded software, so the purchase decision centers on the regional suffix, condition, optics and lifecycle status rather than a software tier.

Does CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK support PoE?

No, CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK is a non-PoE switch and does not provide powered Ethernet to phones, cameras or access points. The same 8-port combo-uplink family includes CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK with PoE+ and a 60W budget, whose forward replacement is C1200-8P-E-2G.

How many uplink ports does CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK have?

CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK has two Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks, and each combo pair allows one copper side or one SFP side active at a time. Use the RJ-45 side for copper handoff or install a Gigabit SFP module when the uplink is fiber.

Can CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK route between VLANs?

CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK supports Layer 2+ static routing with up to 32 IPv4 static routes and up to 16 IP interfaces. It also supports IPv6 routing, Layer 3 interfaces on physical ports, LAGs, VLAN interfaces or loopbacks, plus DHCP relay and UDP relay.

Can CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK be rack mounted?

Yes, CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK is rack-mountable and the package includes a mounting kit, but the chassis itself is compact at 268 mm wide, 185 mm deep and 44 mm high. Treat the unit as a desktop-sized switch when planning shelves, side-by-side mounting or cabinet airflow.

Which power supply ships with CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK?

CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK uses an external AC adapter with 100-240V AC, 50-60 Hz input. The 8-port package includes the power adapter, and accessories such as the power supply and mounting kit are handled through warranty support rather than separate spare-part ordering.

Which SFP modules work with CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK?

CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK supports Gigabit SFP options including MGBSX1, MGBLH1, MGBLX1, MGBT1, GLC-SX-MMD, GLC-LH-SMD, GLC-BX-U, GLC-BX-D and GLC-TE. The SFP side shares the combo port with a copper RJ-45 side, so order only the optics needed for fiber uplinks.

What is the difference between CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK and CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK?

CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK adds eight 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports with a 60W budget, while CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK provides eight data-only 10/100/1000 ports. Both carry two Gigabit copper/SFP combo ports, so choose CBS250-8P-E-2G-UK for powered endpoints and CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK for data-only edge ports.

What is the difference between CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK and CBS250-8T-D-UK?

CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK adds two Gigabit copper/SFP combo ports and is rack-mountable, while CBS250-8T-D-UK is an 8-port desktop model without combo uplinks. Choose CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK when a fiber or extra copper uplink is required; choose CBS250-8T-D-UK for a smaller desktop-only edge.

What is the difference between CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK and C1200-8T-E-2G?

C1200-8T-E-2G is the named replacement for CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK, and both descriptions identify an 8-port Gigabit switch with external power and two 1G combo ports. Use C1200-8T-E-2G for the replacement path; use CBS250-8T-E-2G-UK for installed-base sparing or exact replacement.
