What are the main features of the Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series switches?
The Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series delivers enterprise-class stackable access-layer switches with integrated wireless controller capability supporting up to 40G of wireless capacity per switch and up to 50 access points. The series features Cisco's Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) ASIC for uniform wired-wireless policy enforcement, full IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) support, and Cisco StackWise-480 technology providing 480 Gbps of stack throughput for scalability and resiliency.
How many ports does the EDU-C3850-48F-S model have and what are the port specifications?
The Cisco Catalyst 3850 48-port model features 48 ports of 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet with full PoE+ capability and energy-efficient Ethernet (EEE) support. The switch also supports three optional uplink modules with choices of 4 x Gigabit Ethernet, 2 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet, or 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports for flexible network expansion.
What power supply options are available for the Catalyst 3850?
The Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series offers multiple power supply configurations including 350W AC, 715W AC, 1100W AC, and 440W DC options to accommodate various deployment requirements. The switch also supports Cisco StackPower technology, which provides power stacking among stack members for power redundancy and improved reliability.
What is Cisco StackWise-480 and how does it benefit my network?
Cisco StackWise-480 is the advanced stacking technology in the Catalyst 3850 Series that provides 480 Gbps of stack throughput, enabling you to build a unified, highly resilient switching system from multiple switches. This technology simplifies management with a single IP address and command-line interface while delivering sub-100-millisecond convergence and improved fault tolerance.
Can the Catalyst 3850 manage wireless networks, and how many access points does it support?
Yes, the Catalyst 3850 Series includes integrated wireless controller capability supporting up to 50 access points and 2000 wireless clients per switching entity (switch or stack), with up to 40G of wireless capacity on the 48-port models. This convergence of wired and wireless on a single platform enables uniform policy enforcement and simplified network management.
What are the operating temperature specifications and management options for the Catalyst 3850?
The Cisco Catalyst 3850 operates reliably in environments ranging from -5°C to +45°C, making it suitable for standard data center and network closet deployments. Management capabilities include SNMP v1, v2c, v3, command-line interface (CLI), and web-based management interfaces for flexible administration.
