What WCC Deploys

Cisco Switch Installer — Campus, Data Center & Industrial Ethernet

As a certified Cisco switch installer in Southern California, WCC deploys the full Cisco switching portfolio — from compact Catalyst 9200 access switches at branch offices to fully redundant Catalyst 9500 distribution and Nexus 9000 data center core environments. Every deployment starts with proper design: switch model selection, PoE budget planning, VLAN architecture, and uplink sizing documented before a single switch ships.

WCC installs Cisco switches as part of full campus network deployments and as standalone switching upgrades. For the wireless access points that connect to these switches, see our Cisco Wireless page. For official product specifications, see the official Cisco switches page.

What WCC Delivers

Switch Design & Sizing

Switch model, port count, and PoE budget selected per location based on connected device inventory — cameras, APs, phones, and workstations. Uplink sizing and stacking architecture documented before hardware ships.

Physical Installation

Rack mounting, fiber uplinks, PoE device connections, and IOS-XE or Meraki dashboard adoption — every switch commissioned before handoff.

VLAN & Segmentation

Camera VLANs, wireless VLANs, voice VLANs, and management VLANs designed and documented — proper traffic segmentation from day one.

QoS & PoE Prioritization

Per-port QoS marking, trust boundaries, and PoE priority configuration — voice and critical device traffic prioritized, PoE budget protected against oversubscription.

Compact and small business switches for branch offices, conference rooms, and distributed deployments at accessible price points.

Platform Capabilities

Cisco Switching Platform — Key Capabilities

Cisco Catalyst switches run IOS-XE — the same OS across the entire campus switching portfolio — giving your IT team consistent management, troubleshooting, and automation tooling from access layer to core.

Cisco IOS-XE

Consistent OS across the entire Catalyst campus portfolio — same CLI syntax, same VLAN commands, same troubleshooting approach from 9200 to 9600. Programmatic APIs and model-driven telemetry for network automation.

StackWise & VSS

Catalyst 9300 StackWise and 9400/9500 VSS provide logical stacking and virtual switching for high-availability campus designs with single management plane and sub-second failover.

Cisco DNA Center

Intent-based networking automation for Catalyst 9000 — policy-based VLAN provisioning, AI-driven assurance, and automated fabric deployment for large enterprise campus environments.

MACsec Encryption

IEEE 802.1AE MACsec wire-speed Layer 2 encryption on Catalyst 9000 — protects east-west campus traffic without performance penalty for compliance-sensitive deployments.

Smart Licensing

Centralized license management via Cisco Smart Licensing — cloud CSSM or on-premises CSSM with clear visibility into license consumption across all switches at all locations.

Meraki Cloud Management

Meraki MS switches provide full cloud management through the Meraki dashboard — zero-touch provisioning, automatic firmware, per-port analytics, and multi-site visibility without on-premises controllers.

Delivery Process

How WCC — Your Cisco Switch Installer — Deploys Switching

From device inventory and switch design through installation, VLAN configuration, and admin training.

01

Device Inventory

Connected device audit per location — cameras, APs, phones, and workstations — with PoE draw, port count, and uplink requirements per switch.

02

Design & BOM

Switch model selection, stacking or redundancy architecture, VLAN design, PoE budget, and full bill of materials with pricing.

03

Pre-Configuration

Switch pre-configuration in staging where possible — VLANs, port profiles, and uplinks tested before site visit.

04

Physical Installation

Rack mounting, fiber uplinks, PoE device connections, and IOS-XE or Meraki adoption per switch.

05

Validation & Handoff

Per-port connectivity verification, PoE validation, VLAN test, admin training, and network diagram delivery.

FAQ

Cisco Switch Installer FAQs

Are you a certified Cisco switch installer in Southern California?
Yes. WCC Technologies Group installs Cisco Catalyst and Meraki switches throughout Southern California — serving all six counties from our headquarters in Chino, CA.
What Cisco switch series does WCC install?
WCC installs the full Cisco switch portfolio — Catalyst 9200, 9300, 9400, 9500, and 9600 series campus switches, Nexus 9000 series data center switching, IE industrial Ethernet switches, Meraki MS cloud-managed switches, and compact 1200/1300 series for branch offices.
What is the difference between Catalyst 9200 and 9300?
The Catalyst 9200 is an access-layer switch for smaller deployments requiring basic PoE and uplinks. The Catalyst 9300 adds stackable architecture, higher PoE budgets, modular uplink slots, and full Catalyst feature support — the standard access switch for enterprise campus deployments. WCC sizes the right model based on your port count, PoE requirements, and uplink needs.
Do you install Cisco switches in the Inland Empire?
Yes. WCC installs Cisco switches across the Inland Empire — serving Chino, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino, Fontana, Redlands, Riverside, Corona, Murrieta, and Temecula. No travel fees in the Inland Empire.
Can you migrate from our existing switches to Cisco Catalyst 9000?
Yes. WCC runs phased switch migrations — new Catalyst switches deployed at priority locations first, then branch by branch, with VLAN migration, configuration validation, and rollback procedures at each phase.
