CISCO 24-Port Data Onl Network Switch 24 Ports 1000 Mbps Smart Network Switch  (White)

A Cisco 24-Port Data ONL (Open Network Linux) Network Switch is a bare-metal switch pre-loaded with the Open Network Linux operating system. This provides a foundational platform allowing users to choose and install their preferred network operating system, such as Cumulus Linux, Pica8, or others, offering significant flexibility and customization. Typically featuring 24 high-speed ports (often Gigabit Ethernet, but potentially 10GbE or faster depending on the specific model), these switches are designed for data center environments or organizations seeking open networking solutions. By decoupling the hardware from the software, users gain greater control over their network infrastructure, enabling them to tailor the switch's functionality to their specific needs and integrate it seamlessly with other open networking components. This approach fosters innovation and can lead to cost efficiencies by avoiding vendor lock-in.
