WS-C3650-48TS-S

The WS-C3650-48TS-S is a managed Layer 2 Ethernet switch belonging to the Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series. While it comes from a high-performance series, this specific model is designed for smaller deployments within enterprise networks, data centers, or high-performance workgroups. Here's a breakdown of its functionalities:

Type: Managed Layer 2 Ethernet Switch

• Managed: This switch offers configuration and monitoring capabilities through a web interface or command-line for functionalities like security, performance optimization, and traffic management. However, compared to Layer 3 models, its routing capabilities are limited.
• Layer 2: The switch operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model. This means it forwards data packets based on the Media Access Control (MAC) address in the packet header, making it suitable for basic network segmentation and traffic management within a single network.

Ports:

• 48 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet Ports: These RJ45 ports can connect devices like computers, printers, and network servers, offering Gigabit Ethernet speeds (up to 1 Gbps) for high-performance data transfer.
