Cisco Next Generation SMB Switches are the evolution of the existing SMB switching portfolio and share the same philosophy and value proposition — building a simple, secure, and reliable network at an affordable price. The new portfolio includes new 550X, 350X, 350, and 250 Series models to replace the current 500, 300, and 200 Series. There is no change to the 220 Series smart switches and the 110 and 95 Series unmanaged switches. They will continue to be integral parts of the Cisco SMB switching portfolio.
