WS-CE500-24TT provides non-PoE, managed Layer 2 access through 24 10/100Mbps RJ-45 ports and two fixed 10/100/1000BASE-T copper uplinks. The full-width, 1U rack-mount chassis belongs to the Catalyst Express 500 family and serves small-business networks connecting independently powered desktop PCs and printers. Cisco Catalyst Express 500-24TT keeps its backbone or server connections separate from the desktop-facing interfaces. The discontinued WS-CE500-24LC differs by supplying PoE on four access ports. Copper-only uplinks leave no optical cage or removable uplink bay to populate, so the base configuration does not depend on an uplink card or transceiver purchase.

8.8 Gbps switching capacity and 6.6 Mpps forwarding provide nonblocking operation across the installed interfaces. An 8000-entry MAC table supports Layer 2 address learning, while 32 active VLANs provide traffic separation. Four Shaped Round Robin queues per port handle egress scheduling. STP and RSTP govern loop prevention and convergence, and LACP supports aggregated Ethernet links. IGMP snooping supports versions 1, 2 and 3 for multicast forwarding control. WS-CE500-24TT carries 32 MB of DRAM for its operating environment. The embedded Device Manager supplies browser-based configuration, monitoring and diagnostics; Cisco Network Assistant adds PC-based multi-device administration. SNMPv3 access is read-only rather than a configuration interface. SSL encryption is available for GUI management traffic. The Catalyst Express 500 provides no IP routing, so communication between VLANs depends on an external router. Hardware stacking is not supported; centralized administration does not create a shared switching backplane.
Specify WS-CE500-24TT in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, and confirm the condition and quantity on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot and internal PSU status; firmware is verified and configuration is wiped to factory default. ORM's new-unit warranty offers up to a 3-year extended term, certified refurbished coverage is up to 1 year, and returns are 30 days on every condition, with terms applying. POs are accepted, government orders qualify for Net-30, and RMA handling includes advance replacement; put enterprise and volume quantities on the same PO so the condition requirements remain explicit for the entire order.

When a branch replacement must retain its management addressing, initial setup offers Static or DHCP address assignment and uses VLAN 1 as the default management interface. The default gateway points to the connected router. Record the intended address method, subnet, gateway and credentials before the purchase order.
When a staging team prepares switches for different endpoint roles, the Catalyst Express 500 offers 10 preset Cisco Smartports roles rather than requiring every port policy to start from scratch. Separate desktop, printer, server, switch and router assignments in the staging plan, and specify the required role map before the purchase order.
When an existing installation needs a like-for-like hardware spare, use the WS-CE500-24TT identity to keep the order separate from other Catalyst Express 500 variants. Regional stock and RMA coverage spans UK, EU, US and MEA; state the receiving region and spare quantity before the purchase order.
Gigabit speed on every access port
WS-CE500-24TT access ports stop at 100 Mbps; only the two dedicated copper uplinks reach 1 Gbps. A requirement for Gigabit desktop connections exceeds this model's fixed access hardware.
Fiber uplinks or 10G connectivity
WS-CE500-24TT has copper-only uplinks and no SFP cages; its fastest uplink speed is 1 Gbps. Fiber attachment or 10G distribution connections require different hardware.
Powered endpoints without separate supplies
WS-CE500-24TT supplies no PoE through its Ethernet ports. Phones, access points or cameras needing power from the network cable require separate power equipment or a PoE-capable switch.
Active Cisco manufacturer support
WS-CE500-24TT reached its last date of support on December 18, 2014. Cisco service has ended, so a deployment requiring active manufacturer coverage needs currently supported hardware.

WS-CE500-24TT identifies a Catalyst Express 500 with 24 Fast Ethernet access ports and two Gigabit copper uplinks. The WS-CE500 prefix identifies the switch family, 24 matches the access-port count, and the TT configuration uses copper uplinks. The complete configuration is non-PoE and has no SFP cages.
WS-CE500-24TT is managed through its embedded web-based Device Manager or the PC-based Cisco Network Assistant application. The browser interface handles individual-switch configuration, monitoring and diagnostics, while Network Assistant handles multiple devices. SNMPv3 is read-only, so SNMP monitoring does not provide a configuration path.
WS-CE500-24TT is end of life: end of sale was December 17, 2009, and the last date of support was December 18, 2014. Cisco service has ended. New sealed condition describes the unit's packaging and condition; it does not restore manufacturer support or change those lifecycle milestones.
WS-CE500-24TT is offered new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM warranties of up to a 3-year extended term for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty and service ended December 18, 2014.
No, WS-CE500-24TT does not provide PoE on any Ethernet port. Connected phones, access points and cameras need their own power source or separate power equipment. The presence of powered-port variants elsewhere in the Catalyst Express 500 family does not add endpoint power capability to this model.
WS-CE500-24TT includes two fixed 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 uplinks, with a maximum speed of 1 Gbps per port. Both are copper connections rather than SFP interfaces. The uplinks are built into the chassis, so this model has no removable uplink card or optical transceiver cage to populate.
No, the Catalyst Express 500 does not perform IP routing between VLANs. The switch provides Layer 2 forwarding and supports 32 active VLANs, while a connected router supplies communication between those networks. A management IP address and default gateway do not turn the switch into a routed access device.
WS-CE500-24LC powers four of its 24 Fast Ethernet access ports with PoE, whereas WS-CE500-24TT provides no powered access ports. Both models are discontinued. The LC configuration matches a requirement for a small number of powered endpoints; the TT configuration serves endpoints using separate power sources.
WS-CE500-24PC accepts external redundant power from PWR675-AC-RPS-N1=, whereas WS-CE500-24TT does not accept that redundant-power connection. Both are discontinued Catalyst Express 500 models. The PC variant addresses an external backup-power requirement; the TT variant serves installations using only its internal AC supply rather than an external redundant-power connection.
WS-CE500G-12TC has eight dedicated copper ports and four copper/SFP combo ports, while WS-CE500-24TT has 24 access ports and two dedicated copper uplinks. Both models are discontinued. The lower-density configuration targets server or aggregation attachments; the larger access configuration matches desktop connection requirements.
