It is the best choice economically as required hardware and software platform as layer 2 device for CCNA CCPN CCIE Exam Study.
Cisco Catalyst 2950T is also support layer 4 QoS.
Also latest IOS and command line is a good advantage.

General features:-
24 Ports.
Supports 10baseT & 100baseTX Ethernet with a forwarding bandwidth up to 4.8Gbps.
Managed switch, supports a few management protocols like RMon & SNMP.
Can provide basic security filtering, Vlan & Layer 2 QoS support.
Has various Status LEDS and modes for troubleshooting.
Rack mountable. 1U High Module.
Various power supply options.
A few things I like about it:-
It is robust, really well built and overall a solid piece of kit. It is Cisco after all, so I wouldn't expect anything less.
It is a managed switch, so it lends itself well to Study Lab environments as well as use in the field. It supports
It has 24 ports as standard, although there is a 12 port version of this same switch series available the larger 24 port version will cover the needs of most small remote or branch offices providing bandwidth requirements are reasonable.
It is 19" Rack mountable, so it can go in a wall cabinet or rack along with other networking kit.
The various link state LEDS and status LEDS along the front of the device help to make troubleshooting Lan problems easier.
Lastly, it works hand and glove with the Cisco Network Assistant, so configuration over a web based GUI is realised for ease of management.
Things I dislike:-
The one thing I would have to say that I dislike, and it's a common complaint, is operational fan noise. If it were not for this I would have given it an excellent rating.
My conclusions:
It is old technology now though, as it only supports 10baseT or 100baseTX Ethernet and does not support POE (Power Over Ethernet), so perhaps not for installation in all circumstances, but plenty good enough for a small office or study Lab.
In my opinion, if you are looking for a good Cisco switch for a branch office or study Lab, this switch represents good value for money.
Search out a cheap one in good condition and you won't go far wrong.

Cisco Catalyst 2950Typical Ciso - very reliable - easy to configure via the command line with a cut and paste - or if you prefer via the GUI.
A reasonably speced box which, second hand, is a more realistic price than the one that Cisco put on it.
Not one for the core data centre but quite adequate for the small office or edge of the network.
