MS120-24LP switches provide Layer 2 access switching ideal for branch and campus deployments. Switches are managed through an elegant, intuitive cloud interface, rather than a cryptic command line. To bring up a switch, just plug it in; there's no need for complicated configuration files or even direct physical access to the switch. Cloud management has a number of benefits that make it easier to build networks large and small: True zero-touch device provisioning; Virtual Stacking manage up to thousands of ports from a single pane of glass; Application-layer visibility with automatic operating system, client, and hostname fingerprinting; Powerful live tools such as packet capture and cable test to isolate and troubleshoot network issues; Alerts to indicate power loss, downtime, excessive Layer 1 issues, and configurations changes; Role-based administration and automatic, scheduled firmware upgrades over the cloud; Regular feature updates and enhancements delivered on demand from the cloud.
