Hi Tim! Yes, according to Cisco, the 3550 model is a Layer 3 switch. You can find more information about functionality by looking through the data sheet for that series switch. If you need anything else, just let us know! Jordan Cottrell | Inside Sales

Hi Tim, yes as stated in some early responses this is a layer 3 switch. Be happy to help with any other question you may have on this equipment, thanks - DT Networks

depends on the IOS that is being ran, yes I can be, I used a 3550 in a training course and it worked perfectly but it was a 48 port with an IOS that support AAA authentication...

Yes, it is! 3550 will perform IP layer 3 routing, it's a older model but still good for home lab setups and a great price compared to current pricey models.

No, this is a single pole switch. A 3-way switch has a different configuration

Check the manual and Cisco user community. The router has VLAN, DMZ and static routing configurations that should allow you to split out the device traffic through a proxy. I have never done this, so maybe someone else has direct experience.

Yes to both, see vendor documentation at cisco dot com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/csbms/sf30x_sg30x/administration_guide/78-19308-01.pdf

Yes it is supported. Here is the link to the page that show this, http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/routers/1800-series-integrated-services-routers-isr/relevant-interfaces-and-modules.html Thanks Dave

I'm sorry I can not answer your question. I quit using this router a couple of years ago because it was nothing but trouble and Cisco was little if any help even when I paid them once for an on line session with a tech. I will not buy anything from Cisco, again, ever.

Well! Mine came with below software version, generally it supports 5 APs, I would check on cisco's release notes to confirm the same(esp. With 3620).

It is a router, firewall, AP, and switch. Very versatile devices. More powerful that cisco asa at a fraction of the price and with out the license limitations. Let me know if purchase the device and need help with configuration.

i got a refurblished one from amazon. it could not be connected to operation interface by CD. it also could not be entered operation interface by 192.168.1.1 via IE. to the cloud-cisco i did not do it.

SG220 cannot do layer-3 routing while SG300 can. So, if you want to implement routing on your internal network, you'll need a router. You'll need a router anyway. Another feature that you'd not find on SG220 is a DHCP server. Very handy on SG300. I would suggest that you look at the emulator for both of these models on Cisco's website: https://supportforums.cisco.com/community/911/cisco-small-business-online-device-emulatorsThis will give you an idea of what's important for your setup.

Cisco Small Business Switches do not support DHCP. I repeat do not support DHCP. Its a smart switch not a router... I have several of them. They are the best bang for the buck. And any feature they have you can disable, and there are a lot of them. But DHCP is not a feature.

As i have reviewed this device. I would not recommend because it only layer 2. I believe the PoE will work but you will be limited in the functions due to the lack of layer 3 capabilities. I would recommend looking at the SG300 models which are layer 3.

Yes and Yes. I've not used VLAN on this switch. Read the manual before dinking around.

According to the manufacturer's website, it will support speeds up to 343Mbps downstream and 122 Mbps upstream. However, check with your cable provider to make sure it will work at the speeds you need using their network. Brighthouse seems to think it wouldn't be acceptable for their Lightning 300 Mbps package.Sources:http://www.ubeeinteractive.com/products/cable/voice-gateways/dvw3201b-advanced-wireless-voice-gatewayhttp://support.brighthouse.com/Article/Modem-User-Guide-Fact-Sheet-9115/

Not sure, but I think that they can give you a small converter box (by Cisco) that should do the trick. Good luck.

No, Only the first eight (8) ports are POE+. Of more importance is the 192 Watt total energy budget. Figure out the power demands of the equipment you are powering. I am powering four Netgear Access Points and can easily add four more. Also, when first turned on it takes about 90 seconds to detect and power remote devices before allowing data transfer. Since August 2013 to now, March 2014, the switch has only been rebooted once.
