Q
What port options are available in the Cisco 110 Series?
A
Cisco 110 Series includes 5-, 8-, 16-, and 24-port models with dual Gigabit uplinks. Specific SKUs are 110-5T-2G, 110-8T-2G, 110-16T-2G, 110-24T-4G and the PoE-capable 110-24P-4G.
Q
Do Cisco 110 Series switches support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
A
Only the 110-24P-4G model supports PoE+. It delivers up to 30 W per port with a 190 W total budget. Other models do not provide PoE.
Q
How easy is it to install Cisco 110 Series Unmanaged Switches?
A
Installation is plug-and-play: unpack the unit, mount or place it on a desk, connect the AC adapter, and attach Ethernet cables. No software configuration is required.
Q
Are Cisco 110 Series switches fanless?
A
Yes. All Cisco 110 Series models use a fanless design for silent, maintenance-free operation in small offices or home environments.
Q
Can I mount Cisco 110 Series switches in a rack?
A
The 16- and 24-port models include optional rack-mount kits. The 5- and 8-port switches are designed for desktop or wall-mount use only.
Q
What is the switching capacity of Cisco 110 Series switches?
A
Switching capacity ranges from 20 Gbps on the 5-port model up to 56 Gbps on the 24-port models, ensuring non-blocking, wire-speed performance.
Q
Do Cisco 110 Series switches support VLANs or advanced configurations?
A
No. Cisco 110 Series switches are unmanaged and do not support VLANs, SNMP, ACLs or CLI. They only provide basic Layer 2 features like auto-negotiation and QoS.
Q
What security features are built into Cisco 110 Series?
A
Cisco 110 Series implements broadcast storm control, DHCP MAC-security and loopback detection to safeguard small networks from common Layer 2 threats.
Q
What is the typical use case for Cisco 110 Series Unmanaged Switches?
A
They are ideal for small offices, retail environments and home offices that need reliable, no-configuration Ethernet connectivity for PCs, printers and IP phones.
Q
Does the Cisco 110 Series support IPv6 traffic?
A
Yes. The 110 Series transparently forwards both IPv4 and IPv6 packets at wire-speed, as it operates at Layer 2 without inspecting IP headers.
Q
Can I stack multiple Cisco 110 Series switches?
A
No. The 110 Series does not support stacking. To expand, use the Gigabit uplink ports to daisy-chain additional switches.
Q
What warranty and support are included with Cisco 110 Series?
A
Cisco 110 Series switches include a limited lifetime hardware warranty and 90 days of technical support. Extended support is available via Cisco SMART Net contracts.
Q
How does an unmanaged switch differ from a managed switch?
A
An unmanaged switch operates out-of-the-box with no configuration interface, while a managed switch offers VLANs, QoS tuning, SNMP monitoring and CLI or GUI management.
Q
What Quality of Service (QoS) features are available on Cisco 110 Series?
A
The 110 Series supports 802.1p priority queuing and DSCP-based traffic prioritization to ensure reliable performance for voice and video applications.
Q
How can I extend my network using Cisco 110 Series switches?
A
Use the dedicated Gigabit uplink ports to connect additional 110 Series switches. You can daisy-chain switches to expand port count without complex setup.
