Switching Capabilities and Performance
The WS-C3850-24UW-S Cisco Catalyst 3850-24U-S is a managed switch that offers advanced switching capabilities and high performance for enterprise networks.
One of the key features of the WS-C3850-24UW-S is its switching capacity and forwarding rate. The switch has a switching capacity of up to 128 Gbps and a forwarding rate of up to 95.2 Mpps, providing high performance and low latency for the network. This allows the switch to handle large amounts of data, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming and data backups.
The WS-C3850-24UW-S also offers advanced Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic management capabilities. The switch supports advanced QoS features such as differentiated services code point (DSCP) and internet group management protocol (IGMP) snooping, which allow for the prioritization of different types of traffic, ensuring that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need. Additionally, the switch supports advanced traffic management features such as storm control, which helps prevent network disruptions caused by broadcast or multicast storms.
The WS-C3850-24UW-S also supports Virtual Switching System (VSS) which allows multiple switches to be combined into a single logical switch, providing a highly available and scalable network infrastructure. This technology allows for increased availability, faster deployment and scaling of the network as needed, and improved network performance by increasing the bandwidth and reducing latency.
Scalability and High-Speed Connectivity
The WS-C3850-24UW-S Cisco Catalyst 3850-24U-S is a managed switch that offers scalability and high-speed connectivity for enterprise networks.
One of the key features of the WS-C3850-24UW-S is its scalability options. The switch supports StackWise-480 technology, which allows multiple switches to be connected and managed as a single entity, providing scalability as the network grows. Additionally, the switch supports StackPower, which allows for the sharing of power between stacked switches, providing power redundancy and scalability.
The WS-C3850-24UW-S also has high-speed connectivity options. The switch has 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4x 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports, which provide high-speed connectivity to other network devices and the ability to handle large amounts of data. The high-speed uplink ports are also capable of supporting various uplink technologies such as fiber and copper, allowing you to choose the best option for your network.
The switch also has virtualized access and automation capabilities, it supports Virtual Switching System (VSS) which allows multiple switches to be combined into a single logical switch, providing a highly available and scalable network infrastructure. The WS-C3850-24UW-S also supports Cisco DNA Software, which provides advanced capabilities for enterprise networks such as network automation, centralized management, advanced security, and integration with other Cisco DNA Software solutions.
