Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary interface configuration of the Cisco WS-C3850-48XS-E? +
The WS-C3850-48XS-E features 48 fixed SFP+ ports capable of 1G and 10G speeds, providing high-density fiber connectivity. Additionally, it is equipped with 4 fixed QSFP+ uplink ports that support 40G throughput, making it an ideal choice for high-performance aggregation layers or core switching in enterprise campus environments requiring low-latency fiber uplinks.
Does the WS-C3850-48XS-E support stacking capabilities? +
Yes, this model supports Cisco StackWise-480 technology, which provides 480 Gbps of stacking bandwidth. This allows you to manage multiple switches as a single logical unit, simplifying network operations and increasing resiliency. It is an excellent solution for organizations that need to scale their bandwidth and port density without adding complexity to their management plane.
What type of power supply does the WS-C3850-48XS-E include? +
This unit ships with a 750W AC power supply module designed with a front-to-back airflow configuration. This cooling design is specifically optimized for high-density data center racks and modular switch deployments, ensuring that the internal components maintain optimal operating temperatures under heavy traffic loads and consistent 10G/40G throughput.
What level of software feature set is included with the 'E' designation? +
The 'E' at the end of the SKU signifies that this switch comes with the IP Services software feature set. This license provides advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities, including OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, and PBR. It is designed for enterprise networks that require robust routing protocols to manage complex traffic patterns across routed access or distribution layers.
Can the WS-C3850-48XS-E be deployed in a standard 19-inch server rack? +
The switch is housed in a compact 1RU (Rack Unit) form factor, making it highly space-efficient for standard 19-inch racks. Its physical dimensions are engineered to integrate seamlessly into existing enterprise cabinets, allowing for dense high-speed port deployment without consuming excessive vertical rack space in space-constrained data centers or IDFs.
How does the performance of the 40G QSFP ports compare to the SFP+ ports? +
The 48 SFP+ ports provide flexible 1G/10G connectivity for end-user devices or server clusters, while the 4 QSFP+ ports serve as high-bandwidth uplinks. These 40G ports are critical for eliminating bottlenecks between the access layer and the core, ensuring that aggregate traffic from the 10G ports can be backhauled efficiently through the network infrastructure.
Is the WS-C3850-48XS-E suitable for fiber-to-the-desktop or server aggregation? +
Given its 48-port SFP+ architecture, this switch is exceptionally well-suited for high-density fiber aggregation. It excels in environments where servers require direct 10G fiber connectivity or where high-bandwidth workstations need reliable, low-latency access to the network core. The advanced L3 routing features ensure that inter-VLAN traffic is handled at wire speed.
What is the recommended management method for this Catalyst 3850 switch? +
Cisco offers multiple management paths, including the Command Line Interface (CLI) via console, WebUI, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). For modern enterprise orchestration, these switches also integrate with Cisco DNA Center, enabling software-defined access and automated provisioning to streamline lifecycle management across your entire campus fabric.
