Cisco WS-C3550-24-EMI: Catalyst 3550 switch, 24 10/100 ports plus 2 GBIC uplinks, Enhanced Multilayer Image.
The Cisco WS-C3550-24-EMI is a Catalyst 3550 fixed-configuration switch with 24 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports plus 2 GBIC-based Gigabit Ethernet uplink slots, running the Enhanced Multilayer Image (EMI). The Catalyst 3550 is a Layer 2/Layer 3 switch, and the EMI feature set adds full dynamic IP routing protocols (OSPF, EIGRP, BGP), IPX routing and advanced QoS/security features over the base Standard Multilayer Image (SMI), making the 24-EMI variant suited to wiring-closet or small-campus deployments needing genuine multilayer routing rather than static routes alone. It is a fixed, non-modular switch, and the fitted GBIC uplinks can be swapped independently for SX, LX or copper variants as the uplink medium requires. Genuine spares of this model are a routine requirement for replacing failed units or extending capacity in networks already standardised on the 3550-24-EMI. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks Cisco switches to support ongoing network maintenance projects.
