Cisco Catalyst WS-C3650-24PS-E 24-Port PoE+ Gigabit Switch

Description

The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3650-24PS-E is a 24-port PoE+ Gigabit switch from Cisco’s Catalyst 3650 series. It is designed to deliver high-performance network connectivity with advanced features and comprehensive Power over Ethernet (PoE+) support, making it suitable for enterprise environments that require scalable, reliable, and feature-rich network solutions.

1. 24 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

• 24 x Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) ports provide high-speed connectivity for various network devices, including computers, IP phones, and printers.

2. Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)

• Supports PoE+ with a total PoE budget of 370W, allowing each port to deliver up to 30W of power. This feature enables the switch to power devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and cameras directly through Ethernet cables, simplifying installation and reducing the need for additional power supplies.

3. Layer 3 Switching

• Includes Layer 3 switching capabilities, such as:
  • Static Routing, RIP, and OSPF for advanced routing functionalities.
  • Inter-VLAN Routing to facilitate communication between different VLANs.
  • Advanced Routing Protocols for scalable and efficient network routing.

4. Advanced Security Features

• Equipped with robust security features including:
  • 802.1X for port-based authentication, ensuring secure network access.
  • Access Control Lists (ACLs) to control and filter network traffic.
  • Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), IP Source Guard, and DHCP Snooping to protect against various network attacks and unauthorized access.

5. Energy Efficiency

• Designed to be energy efficient, compliant with Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standards, which helps in reducing power consumption during periods of low network activity. It also supports Cisco EnergyWise technology for monitoring and managing energy usage.

6. Quality of Service (QoS)

• Features advanced QoS capabilities to prioritize network traffic, ensuring that critical applications such as voice and video receive the necessary bandwidth and minimal latency for optimal performance.

7. Cisco IOS XE Software

• Runs on Cisco IOS XE, a modern operating system that offers enhanced programmability, automation, and reliability. It supports a comprehensive range of networking features and tools for efficient network management.

8. Cisco DNA Integration

• Supports Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA), providing advanced network management capabilities, including automation, analytics, and assurance. This integration enables more intelligent and efficient network operations.

9. Stacking Capabilities

• Compatible with Cisco StackWise-480 technology, allowing for the stacking of up to 8 switches with a total stack bandwidth of 480 Gbps. This feature simplifies network management and scaling by consolidating multiple switches into a single logical unit.
