Description
Introduction to the Cisco ONE Catalyst 3850 24 Ports Network Switch
The Cisco ONE Catalyst 3850 24 Ports Network Switch (C1-WSC3850-24XUL) is a high-performance, enterprise-grade switch designed for enterprise networks, campus networks, and data centers. It is part of the Cisco ONE software suite, which allows for simplified network management, automation, and programmability. The switch offers 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and supports both PoE and PoE+ for powering devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. It also supports advanced security features, such as threat defense and application visibility and control, to help protect against cyber threats. The 3850 also offers high-availability features such as StackWise and StackPower technology which enable the switch to be stacked with other 3850 switches to create a single, virtual switch. Additionally, it supports Cisco DNA Center which allows for centralized management and automation of the entire network.
Network scalability and flexibility with the 3850
The Cisco ONE Catalyst 3850 24 Ports Network Switch (C1-WSC3850-24XUL) provides network scalability and flexibility by allowing users to easily add or remove switches from the network without disrupting network operations. This is achieved through the use of stackable switches, which can be connected to form a single logical switch. The 3850 supports StackWise and StackPower technology, which allows multiple switches to be connected together using special stacking cables and power supplies, creating a single, highly available system.
Additionally, the 3850 supports a range of interface options, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 40 Gigabit Ethernet, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet, allowing users to easily adapt to changing network requirements. Furthermore, it supports multi-gigabit technology, which enables the switch to support multiple speeds on a single port, providing high-speed connectivity for different devices and applications.
Advanced security and threat defense capabilities
The C1-WSC3850-24XUL Cisco ONE Catalyst 3850 24 Ports Ethernet Switch offers advanced security and threat defense capabilities to protect networks from a wide range of security threats. These capabilities include:
- Firewall: The switch includes an integrated firewall that provides stateful packet inspection, access control lists, and security groups.
- Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): The switch includes an integrated IPS that can detect and prevent a variety of network attacks, including viruses, worms, and denial-of-service attacks.
- Advanced Malware Protection (AMP): The switch includes AMP that provides advanced threat detection and prevention capabilities, including file reputation, file-based malware protection, and malware sandboxing.
- Identity Services Engine (ISE): The switch integrates with ISE, which provides advanced identity-based network access control and policy enforcement.
- TrustSec: The switch supports TrustSec, which provides secure segmentation and identity-based access control.
- Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) inspection: The switch supports SSL and TLS inspection, which allows for the inspection of encrypted traffic to detect and prevent security threats.
- Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR): The switch includes NBAR, which allows for the identification and classification of applications running on the network.
- Advanced security features such as these help to protect the network from a wide range of security threats and provide a more secure network environment.
