WS-C2950G-24-EI is a managed Layer 2 access switch with 24 autosensing 10/100 RJ-45 ports and two fixed Gigabit Ethernet uplink slots for GBIC transceivers. The Catalyst 2950 connects desktop endpoints in branch and workgroup networks, using removable uplink transceivers rather than an expansion bay for network cards. Enhanced Image supplies advanced quality of service at the network edge. The AC-powered chassis occupies one full-width rack unit and does not provide PoE. The discontinued WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC differs by taking DC input, making the power environment an important distinction when matching a legacy spare.

8.8 Gbps maximum forwarding bandwidth supports aggregate interface traffic, while 6.6 Mpps forwarding describes packet-handling performance. IGMP snooping restricts multicast delivery to interested receivers instead of flooding every access port. STP and PVST+ provide loop control, with UplinkFast, BackboneFast, and PortFast addressing spanning-tree convergence behavior. UDLD detects unidirectional links, and PAgP supports EtherChannel negotiation for aggregated connections. WS-C2950G-24-EI exposes SNMP monitoring, Telnet access, a local console CLI, and embedded Cisco Cluster Management Suite for administration. Cisco Catalyst 2950 Series switches also support Cisco Network Assistant for PC-based configuration and troubleshooting. VTP distributes VLAN configuration information, while security filtering and rate limiting provide traffic controls at the edge. 30W maximum power consumption establishes the switch's electrical demand for rack power planning; endpoint power must be supplied independently. Traffic classification can inspect IP addresses and TCP/UDP fields, but these capabilities do not provide IP routing between VLANs.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2950G-24-EI in new sealed and certified refurbished condition, with refurbished units inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, and a clean boot. Specify the condition, retained uplink hardware, and regional power cord on the PO before ordering this switch. ORM's new-unit warranty provides up to a 3-year extended term, certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year, and both conditions include 30-day returns; terms apply, while Cisco service has ended. Enterprise and volume orders can use PO acceptance, government Net-30, and RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US, and MEA regional stock and RMA operations.

When a branch repair must retain an existing fiber run, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, and 1000BASE-ZX GBIC media choices accommodate different installed cabling. Match the fiber type, distance, connector requirements, and remote interface before specifying the retained or separately supplied transceiver on the purchase order.
When a lab must reproduce an older Cisco switching environment, Cisco Cluster Management Suite can administer 16 devices through one management address. Cluster membership is an administration arrangement rather than a shared switching fabric. Specify the required software environment and verify the intended member compatibility before the PO.
When several workgroups are being consolidated while their segmentation must remain separate, 250 port-based VLANs provide the relevant configuration ceiling. Preserve VLAN membership and existing trunk arrangements rather than inferring them from a chassis match. Specify the VLAN inventory and validate the intended configuration before the PO.
Gigabit Ethernet at every desktop
The 24 access interfaces stop at 100 Mbps; Gigabit Ethernet is available through the uplink slots only. This model cannot deliver Gigabit desktop connections.
PoE-powered phones and access points
The access ports carry data without supplying endpoint power. A deployment requiring the switch itself to power phones or access points needs powered access hardware.
Routing between local VLANs
Enhanced Image provides traffic classification and filtering, not inter-VLAN IP routing. VLAN gateways must reside on a separate routing device rather than this Layer 2 switch.
10G uplinks to distribution
The built-in GBIC uplink interfaces operate at Gigabit Ethernet speed and do not provide a 10G path. The chassis has no uplink expansion-card bay.

WS-C2950G-24-EI identifies a Catalyst 2950 switch with 24 autosensing 10/100 ports, two GBIC-based Gigabit Ethernet uplinks, and Enhanced Image software. WS-C2950G identifies the GBIC-uplink model, 24 specifies the access-port count, and EI specifies Enhanced Image rather than Standard Image.
WS-C2950G-24-EI is managed through a local console CLI, Telnet, SNMP, browser-based Cisco Cluster Management Suite, and Cisco Network Assistant. CiscoWorks provides additional network-management integration. Console access supplies an out-of-band configuration path, while the network-based interfaces support remote administration after the management configuration is established.
WS-C2950G-24-EI is retired, and Cisco no longer provides service or support for the Catalyst 2950 series. A new sealed unit does not reactivate Cisco's retired support offering. Treat this purchase as continuity for existing legacy hardware rather than a return to an actively supported Cisco product.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2950G-24-EI new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on refurbished units. Returns are accepted within 30 days for either condition; terms apply. Cisco service and manufacturer warranty support have ended.
WS-C2950G-24-EI has two built-in Gigabit Ethernet GBIC uplink slots, not SFP or SFP+ cages. Supported GBIC media include fiber and copper connections. A transceiver changes the physical connection rather than increasing the uplink's Gigabit speed, so specify the required connection type and supplied transceivers before ordering.
WS-C2950G-24-EI does not provide PoE on its access ports. Endpoints that require power through Ethernet need their own power arrangements, so the switch cannot serve as their power source. The EI suffix identifies Enhanced Image software and does not indicate powered access hardware.
The Catalyst 2950 WS-C2950G-24-EI occupies one full-width rack unit and measures 43.6 mm high, 444.5 mm wide, and 241.8 mm deep. Its weight is 3 kg. STK-RACKMOUNT-1RU= provides compatible rack-mounting hardware; confirm that the required mounting hardware is included with the selected unit.
WS-C2950G-24-EI uses an internal AC power supply accepting autoranging 100-127V AC or 200-240V AC at 50-60 Hz, with 30W maximum consumption. An external redundant-power connection is a separate arrangement; the chassis does not ship with a pair of hot-swappable internal power supplies.
WS-C2950G-24-EI takes AC input, whereas WS-C2950G-24-EI-DC takes DC input; both retain 24 Fast Ethernet access ports and two GBIC uplink slots. Both models are discontinued. For matching legacy spares, the AC version corresponds to mains-powered racks, while the DC version corresponds to installations with a DC supply.
WS-C2950G-24-EI provides 24 access ports, whereas WS-C2950G-48-EI provides 48 access ports. Both are Enhanced Image Fast Ethernet switches with GBIC-based Gigabit uplinks, and both are discontinued. The 48-port model matches higher-density legacy cabling, while the 24-port model matches installations requiring fewer copper connections per chassis.
WS-C2950G-24-EI uses GBIC-based Gigabit uplinks, whereas WS-C2950T-24 has two fixed 10/100/1000BASE-T uplink ports. The former accommodates supported fiber or copper GBIC media; the latter presents copper uplink connections without GBIC selection. Both are discontinued: the GBIC model matches legacy optics retention, while the T model matches copper uplink wiring.
WS-C2950G-24-EI was one of the replacement choices for the older WS-C3524-XL-EN. That relationship concerns legacy access-switch migration rather than a currently supported upgrade. Both families are now retired, so the connection is relevant to historical migration records, configuration continuity, and identification of matched replacement hardware.
