Description
Introduction to the L3 Switch
The C1-WS3850-12S/K9 is a Cisco One Catalyst 3850 switch that is designed for enterprise environments. It has 12 SFP+ ports which support 10 Gigabit Ethernet and is a Layer 3 manageable switch. This means it is capable of performing routing functions and can be configured to handle more advanced network traffic.
This switch is stackable, meaning multiple switches can be connected together to form a single, logical switch. It supports advanced features such as Application Visibility and Control (AVC), which allows for better monitoring and control of network traffic. Additionally, it supports Cisco TrustSec, which is a security feature that helps protect against data breaches and unauthorized access.
The C1-WS3850-12S/K9 also includes EnergyWise technology, which helps optimize energy usage and reduce costs. In terms of security, it has a robust feature set, including advanced threat defense options and integration with the Identity Services Engine (ISE), which can enhance security by identifying and authenticating users and devices on the network.
Robust Security and Dynamic Quality
The C1-WS3850-12S/K9 Cisco One Catalyst 3850 12-Ports Layer3 Manageable Switch has robust security features that help protect against data breaches and unauthorized access.
One of the key security features is Cisco TrustSec, which is a security feature that helps protect against data breaches and unauthorized access by identifying and authenticating users and devices on the network. The switch also includes advanced threat defense options, such as Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) and Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) integration.
Cisco AMP provides continuous monitoring and advanced threat protection across the entire attack continuum, both on and off the network. It uses a multi-layered approach to detect, contain, and remediate advanced threats, such as malware and ransomware. Cisco ISE integration allows for enhanced security by identifying and authenticating users and devices on the network.
In terms of quality of service (QoS), the switch supports Dynamic Quality of Service (QoS) which allows for better monitoring and control of network traffic. The switch uses AVC (Application Visibility and Control) to identify and classify different types of network traffic and apply appropriate QoS policies to ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need. This helps to ensure that the network is running smoothly and that there are no bottlenecks or disruptions in service.
Scalable and High-Performance
The C1-WS3850-12S/K9 Cisco One Catalyst 3850 12-Ports Layer3 Manageable Switch is designed to be scalable and high-performance, making it well-suited for large enterprise environments.
One of the key features that makes it scalable is its stackable design. Multiple switches can be connected together to form a single, logical switch, allowing for easy expansion as network needs grow. This also makes it easier to manage, as all the switches in the stack can be configured and managed as a single unit.
In terms of performance, the switch is equipped with 12 SFP+ ports that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet, providing high-speed connectivity for bandwidth-intensive applications. It also supports advanced features such as Application Visibility and Control (AVC) and Cisco TrustSec, which help to ensure efficient network operations and protect against data breaches and unauthorized access.
The switch also includes EnergyWise technology, which helps optimize energy usage and reduce costs. Additionally, it supports Cisco StackPower, a feature that allows power to be shared among multiple switches in a stack, providing redundancy and increasing availability.
