WS-C3750X-48P-S

The WS-C3750X-48P-S is a high-performance managed Layer 3 Ethernet switch belonging to the Cisco Catalyst 3750X Series. It's designed for demanding environments in enterprise networks, data centers, and high-performance workgroups that require exceptional performance, scalability, PoE (Power over Ethernet), and advanced features. Here's a breakdown of its key functionalities:

Type: Managed Layer 3 Ethernet Switch

• Managed: This switch offers extensive configuration and monitoring capabilities through a web interface or command-line for functionalities like security, performance optimization, traffic management, and routing.
• Layer 3: Similar to other Layer 3 models discussed previously, this switch operates at Layer 3 of the OSI model. This means it can intelligently route data packets based on network addresses, allowing for efficient traffic management within complex networks.

Ports:

• 48 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet Ports: These RJ45 ports can connect a larger number of devices like computers, printers, and network servers, offering Gigabit Ethernet speeds (up to 1 Gbps) for high-performance data transfer compared to the 24-port version (WS-C3750X-24P-S).
• (Optional) Uplink Ports: Similar to the WS-C3750X-24P-S, the base configuration might not include them. The WS-C3750X-48P-S can be equipped with additional modules providing Gigabit SFP or even 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ uplink ports for connecting to high-bandwidth core networks or other switches. This flexibility allows you to customize the switch based on your network's needs.
