WS-C3850-16XS-E Overview

Catalyst 3850 Enables Unified Access

Cisco Unified Access is the convergence of the wired and wireless networks into one physical infrastructure with greater intelligence, simplicity, performance, and open interfaces. One network starts with Cisco Catalyst 3850 switches, which combine wired and wireless by supporting wireless tunnel termination and full wireless LAN controller functionality.

Best-in-Class Stackable Access Switch
The Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch currently offers the industry's highest 480 Gbps stacking bandwidth to meet network demand, including gigabit desktop and 802.11ac wireless. The switch delivers advanced capabilities such as a high-performance 24/48 port GE switch, 480 G stacking, Power over Ethernet Plus, StackPower and Flexible NetFlow on all ports.

Converged Wired and Wireless Access
The Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch brings Cisco IOS excellence to wireless by extending wired infrastructure features, resiliency, granular QoS, and scalability. It provides built-in wireless controller capabilities with 40 G wireless throughput, support for 50 access points and 2000 wireless clients per switch or stack, and support for 802.11ac.

Distributed Intelligent Services
The Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch delivers common intelligent services across wired and wireless for security and policy, application visibility and control, network resiliency, smart operations, and more. The switch can enable multi-level QoS based on granular information such as SSID, client, radio, application, and fair share policies for wireless.

Foundation for Cisco Open Network Environment
The heart of Cisco Catalyst 3850 is the new ASIC with programmability for future features and intelligence with investment protection. The new ASIC provides a foundation for converged APIs across wired and wireless, software-defined networking (SDN) support, and Cisco One Platform Kit (OnePK).

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the primary interface capabilities of the Cisco WS-C3850-16XS-E? +
This model features 16 fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports, designed for high-density, high-speed fiber connectivity in the aggregation layer. Additionally, it includes a single dedicated network module slot, allowing for further uplink flexibility to suit your specific data center or campus topology requirements.
Does the WS-C3850-16XS-E support software-defined networking features? +
Yes, this unit comes pre-installed with the IP Services (E) feature set. This advanced licensing tier provides robust Layer 3 routing capabilities, including OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, and IS-IS, making it an ideal candidate for integration into sophisticated software-defined access architectures and enterprise-grade routed environments.
Can I stack the Cisco Catalyst 3850-16XS units to increase port density? +
Absolutely. The Catalyst 3850 series utilizes Cisco StackWise-480 technology, which provides a high-speed stacking bandwidth of 480 Gbps. By interconnecting multiple units, you can manage them as a single logical entity, effectively scaling your throughput and simplifying administrative tasks across your switching infrastructure.
What is the power capacity of the included 350W power supply? +
The WS-C3850-16XS-E ships with a 350W AC power supply, which is sufficient to handle the standard operational power requirements of the switch chassis and its active SFP+ interfaces. In mission-critical environments, you can add a secondary modular power supply for power redundancy.
Which types of transceivers are compatible with the SFP+ ports on this switch? +
The 16 SFP+ ports support a wide range of Cisco-certified 10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR, and 10GBASE-ER optical transceivers. It is also compatible with SFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables for short-reach, low-latency connections within a single rack or adjacent server cabinets.
What are the primary management protocols supported by the Catalyst 3850? +
You can manage this switch via the industry-standard Command Line Interface (CLI), Cisco Prime Infrastructure, or the integrated web-based GUI. It supports SNMPv3, SSHv2, and NETCONF for programmatic control, allowing for seamless integration into modern IT management platforms and automated orchestration workflows.
How does the WS-C3850-16XS-E handle hardware-based encryption? +
The switch is equipped with Cisco StackWise-480 and integrated hardware support for MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE). This allows for line-rate hardware encryption on all ports, ensuring that your data-in-transit is protected from interception at the link layer without compromising switching performance or port latency.
Is this switch suitable for high-performance aggregation in a campus network? +
Given its 16-port 10G density and advanced IP Services routing capabilities, the WS-C3850-16XS-E is perfectly positioned as a high-performance aggregation switch. It provides the necessary throughput to aggregate traffic from multiple access-layer switches while maintaining the intelligent routing policies required for modern multi-service campus networks.
