WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC is a DC-powered, managed Layer 2 access switch with 24 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 ports and two fixed GBIC uplink slots supporting Gigabit Ethernet. The 1U rack-mount chassis belongs to the Catalyst 2950 family and connects existing branch-office endpoints that do not require Gigabit desktop access. The Catalyst 2950G-24-DC configuration includes Enhanced Image software for traffic classification, rate limiting and security filtering at the network edge. Uplink connectivity depends on the selected GBIC rather than an installed uplink card, retaining a fixed port architecture when transceivers change. The discontinued WS-C2950G-24-EI is the corresponding AC-powered sibling. Attached devices require separate power because this configuration does not supply PoE over its access connections.

8.8 Gbps switching capacity defines the chassis bandwidth available for access and uplink traffic planning. 6.6 Mpps forwarding establishes the packet-processing ceiling when small frames traverse the switch. An 8000-entry MAC address table accommodates learned Layer 2 destinations without turning the platform into a routed access device. WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC uses 16 MB of DRAM for Cisco IOS operation. Four egress queues per port and Weighted Round Robin scheduling control how traffic classes share an outgoing link. IGMP snooping restricts multicast forwarding to interested receivers, while PVST+ and UplinkFast provide spanning-tree controls for redundant paths. Management includes the console CLI, Telnet, SNMP and the browser-based Cluster Management Suite. Inter-VLAN forwarding requires an external routing device; the Enhanced Image security and QoS capabilities do not add IP routing to the chassis.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC in new sealed and certified refurbished condition; new units carry up to a 3-year extended warranty, refurbished units carry up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns, with terms applying. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on, POST, every port linking at rated speed, optics bay recognition, fan status and clean boot; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify the condition, quantity and required accessories on the purchase order. For enterprise and volume requirements, POs are accepted, Net-30 is available for government, and RMA with advance replacement covers UK, EU, US and MEA regions.

When an existing branch installation is being extended from a DC distribution panel, the electrical work belongs on the same readiness checklist as the Ethernet connections. The input circuit requires 5A branch protection. Confirm the protective-earth connection, terminal-block wiring and breaker provision before releasing the hardware purchase order.
When several legacy sites need configurations staged before shipment, Cluster Management Suite can manage 16 supported switches through one IP address. Each chassis still needs its own connection and configuration within that group. Specify cluster membership, management addressing and the required staging configuration before the purchase order is released.
Gigabit speeds on every access port
The 24 fixed RJ-45 access ports operate at 10/100 Mbps. Gigabit connectivity is confined to the GBIC uplinks, not the desktop-facing copper connections.
Power delivery to attached endpoints
The access ports do not supply PoE. Phones, access points or other endpoints that depend on Ethernet-delivered power require a separate power arrangement.
Inter-VLAN routing inside the switch
Layer 2 switching does not provide local IP routing between VLANs. Enhanced Image adds traffic controls, but an external routing device remains necessary.

WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC identifies a Catalyst 2950 switch with 24 Fast Ethernet access ports, GBIC-based Gigabit uplinks, Enhanced Image software and DC power. The WS-C2950G prefix identifies the switch configuration, 24 gives the access-port count, EI denotes Enhanced Image, and DC identifies the power version.
The Catalyst 2950 supports browser-based Cluster Management Suite, a console CLI, Telnet and SNMP management, with CiscoWorks integration. Local console access provides the out-of-band path, while network-based tools provide in-band management. Centralized clustering can share an IP address across supported switches without making the hardware a single chassis.
WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC requires a DC source within the -36 to -72V DC input range, connected through its terminal block rather than an AC inlet. The chassis provides A and B feed connections, which join through diode-ORing into one internal converter. Separate protective grounding is also required.
WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC provides two Gigabit Ethernet GBIC uplink slots, not SFP or SFP+ cages. Supported GBIC interfaces include copper and fiber connection types. The selected transceiver determines the physical medium and connector, while the access-facing RJ-45 ports remain limited to Fast Ethernet speeds.
Enhanced Image is the software feature set supplied with WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC. The feature set provides advanced QoS, rate limiting and security filtering alongside Layer 2 switching. Enhanced Image describes the included software capabilities, not a change to access-port speed or a conversion into an IP-routing switch.
No, WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC provides Layer 2 switching rather than IP routing between VLANs. VLAN segmentation, traffic classification and security filtering do not create a local routing function. Communication between different IP subnets therefore needs an external router or another routing-capable device connected to the switched network.
No, WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC belongs to the retired Catalyst 2950 series, and Cisco service has ended. Reseller availability does not change that lifecycle status. Hardware replacement planning and spare holdings must account for the absence of ongoing Cisco support rather than assume an active manufacturer service contract remains available.
WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC uses direct DC input, while WS-C2950G-24-EI is the AC-powered version. Both configurations provide the same access-port count and GBIC uplink arrangement. Both models are discontinued; the DC version matches existing DC installations, while the AC version corresponds to legacy sites supplied with AC power.
WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC supplies 24 Fast Ethernet access ports, whereas WS-C2950G-48-EI supplies 48. Both models are discontinued. The 24-port configuration matches smaller existing connection inventories; the higher-density version corresponds to legacy installations that require 48 access connections within one chassis rather than a 24-port replacement.
WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC uses GBIC-based Gigabit uplinks, while WS-C2950T-24 has two fixed 10/100/1000BASE-T copper uplinks. Both models are discontinued. GBIC slots match legacy installations requiring transceiver-selected connections; the fixed copper arrangement corresponds to sites whose existing uplink cabling terminates directly in RJ-45 connections.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days in either condition; terms apply. Cisco hardware warranty coverage and service have ended for this retired series.
