Configuring Switches
The switch can be accessed and managed over your IP network using the web-based interface, or by using
the switch's command-line interface through the console port. Using the console port requires advanced user
skills and is only supported on certain models.

Uplink ports on CBS350-8MGP-2X also support multi-Gigabit speed. In this case, port speed can reach
10Gbps. Most of the cabling deployed worldwide is Cat5e, and previously limited to 1 Gbps at 100
meters. Cisco multi-Gigabit Ethernet enables speeds up to 2.5 or 5 Gbps on the same infrastructure
