Fanless Copper Access for Managed SMB Networks

SF300-08 combines fanless desktop construction with eight 10/100 RJ-45 access ports for small-business networks. The managed Layer 2+ switch uses copper connections without dedicated uplinks, fiber cages, or an expansion bay; an upstream connection occupies a regular access port. Non-PoE ports carry data only, so attached phones, access points, and other powered endpoints need a separate power arrangement. Within the Cisco Small Business 300 Series, the discontinued SF302-08P adds endpoint PoE rather than relying entirely on local endpoint supplies. The 8-port Fast Ethernet switch serves replacement requirements in an existing 100 Mbps installation, not a Gigabit upgrade. Specify the endpoint connections and upstream link together, because the chassis provides no additional connection reserved exclusively for the upstream network.

Technical Details

1.6 Gbps switching capacity supports forwarding across the copper interfaces, while 1.19 Mpps specifies the forwarding rate for 64-byte packets. Static IPv4 routing provides communication between configured subnets using administratively maintained routes. The control resources include 128 MB of DRAM and 16 MB of flash, separate from the shared 8 Mb packet buffer. SF300-08 accommodates 16384 MAC addresses, with routing limits of 512 static routes and 128 IP interfaces. STP/RSTP/MSTP provide loop-control options, while LACP groups compatible links; configuration must match the connected network. Administration uses the web GUI, full or menu-based Textview CLI, and SNMP, with HTTP/HTTPS and SSH available for management access. Dual firmware images allow a second image to be retained during upgrade preparation. Jumbo frames reach 9216 bytes, requiring compatible frame-size settings on the connected path. Agree routing, VLAN, and frame-size settings before importing an existing configuration.

Ordering

Order SF300-08 in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, specifying the condition, quantity, and destination region on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, and a clean boot; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. ORM provides up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units, up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition, with terms applying; Cisco hardware coverage ended October 31, 2023. POs are accepted for enterprise and volume orders, with Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock/RMA in the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

SF300-08 Use Case

VLAN-Based Network Segmentation for Secure Guest and Corporate LAN

In a small office or boutique hotel environment, the SF300-08-8 10/100 ports switch delivers flexible VLAN configuration to isolate guest Wi-Fi from the corporate LAN. By segmenting traffic, IT administrators enforce strict access controls and reduce the attack surface. Outcome: enhanced network security, simplified compliance, and uninterrupted business operations without additional hardware costs.

QoS-Enabled VoIP Prioritization in Small Call Centers

A growing call center leverages the SF300-08-8 10/100 ports switch to implement Quality of Service (QoS) policies that prioritize SIP and RTP packets over best-effort traffic. This ensures crystal-clear voice quality and minimal latency during peak call volumes. Outcome: higher customer satisfaction, measurable uptime improvement, and optimized bandwidth utilization.

High-Performance IP Surveillance Network for Retail Security

A retail chain deploys the SF300-08-8 10/100 ports switch to connect multiple IP cameras across its storefront, using traffic shaping and port-based VLAN tagging to segregate video streams. Centralized monitoring captures HD footage without overloading the core network. Outcome: reliable 24/7 video recording, streamlined network management, and rapid incident response.

Best For

Lab Fault Reproduction

When reproducing a network fault before returning equipment to service, port mirroring can send traffic from eight source ports to one destination in a single session. Reserve the analyzer connection during staging, and specify the required capture topology and configuration handover before the purchase order is approved.

Multi-Site Configuration Standardization

When several locations need the same controlled configuration, the full CLI supports privilege levels 1, 7, and 15, while text-editable configuration files support reuse. Define administrator access and the approved configuration file before ordering matching units; include the required staging configuration and destination allocation on the purchase order.

Not Suitable If

Gigabit copper connections to endpoints

SF300-08 access ports stop at 100 Mbps. C1300-8T-E-2G provides eight Gigabit access ports plus two 1G combo connections and is the current migration endpoint.

Switch-powered phones or access points

SF300-08 supplies no PoE on its Ethernet ports. Phones, access points, or other endpoints that require switch-delivered power cannot obtain that power from this model.

Active Cisco hardware support coverage

SF300-08 Cisco support ended October 31, 2023. C1300-8T-E-2G is the current migration endpoint; its Gigabit access ports also change the native connection speed.

Questions & Answers

What does the SF300-08 part number mean?

SF300-08 identifies a Fast Ethernet model in the Cisco Small Business 300 Series, with 08 specifying eight 10/100 ports. The model name has no separate uplink or license-tier suffix. SRW208-K9 is its ordering identifier, and SRW208-K9-NA is the US variant to match against the quotation.

How is the Cisco Small Business 300 Series managed?

The Cisco Small Business 300 Series supports a web GUI, full or menu-based Textview CLI, and SNMP management, with HTTP/HTTPS, SSH, and console access available. The series also includes FindIT Network and OnPlus integrations as legacy management paths. Direct local configuration is separate from those integrations.

What is the lifecycle status of SF300-08?

SF300-08 is discontinued: end of sale occurred October 4, 2018, and Cisco support ended October 31, 2023. SF350-08-K9-NA was the named US replacement but is also discontinued. The migration chain continues through CBS350-8T-E-2G-NA to C1300-8T-E-2G rather than stopping at an older replacement.

What conditions and warranties does ORM offer for SF300-08?

ORM offers SF300-08 new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days in either condition; terms apply. Cisco's original limited lifetime hardware warranty ended with support on October 31, 2023.

Does SF300-08 provide PoE for connected devices?

No, SF300-08 does not provide PoE on any of its eight Ethernet ports. Connected devices receive data connectivity only, so a phone, wireless access point, or other powered endpoint needs a separate power arrangement. Include endpoint power requirements when preparing the purchase specification rather than assuming Ethernet delivers power.

Which uplinks does SF300-08 include?

SF300-08 includes no dedicated uplink ports, SFP cages, or removable uplink modules; all eight network connections are 10/100 RJ-45 ports. An upstream connection therefore uses a regular Ethernet port. Specify the upstream connection alongside endpoint connections, and do not add fiber optics to the order for this model.

Can SF300-08 route traffic between VLANs?

Yes, SF300-08 supports static IPv4 routing between configured interfaces, with limits of 512 static routes and 128 IP interfaces. These are static-routing capabilities rather than dynamically learned routes. Include the required interface addressing and route configuration in staging instructions before deploying the switch into an existing routed network.

What is the difference between SF300-08 and SF302-08P?

SF302-08P supplies PoE on eight Fast Ethernet ports with a shared 62W budget, whereas SF300-08 supplies no endpoint power. SF302-08P is also discontinued. SF300-08 suits replacement requirements where endpoints have independent power; SF302-08P matches legacy installations that require Ethernet-delivered power within that shared budget.

What is the difference between SF300-08 and SF300-24?

SF300-24 uses an internal AC supply, whereas SF300-08 receives power through an external AC adapter. Both belong to the discontinued Cisco Small Business 300 Series. SF300-08 matches adapter-based replacement installations; SF300-24 matches existing installations whose purchase specification requires chassis-integrated AC power rather than a separate adapter.

What is the difference between SF300-08 and C1300-8T-E-2G?

C1300-8T-E-2G provides Gigabit Ethernet access, whereas SF300-08 is limited to 10/100 connections. C1300-8T-E-2G is the current endpoint of the replacement chain through the discontinued SF350 and CBS350 models. SF300-08 serves like-for-like legacy replacement requirements; C1300-8T-E-2G serves purchases requiring native Gigabit endpoint connections.

Is the 8-port Fast Ethernet switch a full-width rack model?

The 8-port Fast Ethernet switch is desktop hardware rather than a full-width rack chassis: SF300-08 measures 279.4 mm wide, 44.45 mm high, and 170 mm deep. Its weight is 1.16 kg. Specify the available mounting space and external-adapter placement before ordering equipment for an existing enclosure.

What power connection does SF300-08 require?

SF300-08 requires an external AC adapter accepting 100-240V AC at 50-60 Hz. Worst-case consumption is 6.1W at 110V and 7.2W at 220V. Match the power arrangement to the destination region, and confirm the adapter requirement on the purchase order when replacing an installed unit.
