Cisco Rolls Out New Linux Switches for Small Business Networks

“Over the course of the last two years, networking vendor Cisco
has been upgrading and expanding its small business networking
offerings. That effort continues this week with the launch of a new
lineup of managed switches and updated VoIP phones specifically

“Among the new products is the Cisco 300 series of managed
switches which expand Cisco’s small business switching portfolio

system instead of Cisco’s enterprise IOS operating system. For
