Cisco-Catalyst WS-C3650-48PS-L
The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3650-48PS-L is a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet Layer 3 managed PoE+ switch designed for enterprise access-layer, campus, branch, and converged network deployments. It provides 48 × 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports and 4 × 1G SFP uplink interfaces, with Cisco IOS XE, StackWise-160, advanced security, QoS, and wireless convergence capabilities.
Description
The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3650-48PS-L is part of the Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series, an enterprise-class fixed-configuration switching platform designed to provide reliable wired and wireless connectivity for campus and business networks.
The switch provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports with IEEE 802.3at PoE+, allowing compatible devices to receive power and network connectivity through a single Ethernet cable. With support for up to 30W per PoE+ port, it can power devices such as Cisco IP phones, wireless access points, IP cameras, and IoT endpoints.
For upstream connectivity, the switch includes 4 × 1 Gigabit SFP uplink interfaces, allowing fiber connections to aggregation, distribution, or core network equipment. The SFP interfaces provide flexibility for different fiber types and transmission distances through compatible Cisco transceivers.
The WS-C3650-48PS-L operates with Cisco IOS XE, providing Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking functionality. It supports VLANs, 802.1Q trunking, STP/RSTP/MST, EtherChannel, IPv4/IPv6 routing, OSPF, EIGRP, VRF-Lite, multicast, QoS, and enterprise security features.
The Catalyst 3650 platform incorporates StackWise-160, allowing multiple compatible switches to be stacked and managed as one logical switching system. This provides up to 160 Gbps of stack bandwidth, simplifying management and improving scalability and resiliency.
A key capability of the Catalyst 3650 platform is its wireless controller functionality, enabling the switch to provide integrated wired and wireless management capabilities when configured with the appropriate software and wireless licensing.
Security features include 802.1X authentication, port security, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, ACLs, and Cisco TrustSec, helping secure users, endpoints, and network traffic.
The -L suffix identifies the LAN Base software feature set, primarily intended for Layer 2 access switching and associated enterprise access features.
