Manufacturer: Cisco
Model Number or SKU# WS-C3750-48PS-S
Product Series: 3750
Product Type: Layer 3 Switch
This Item is a fixed-configuration switch that is part of the Cisco Catalyst 3750 series. It is a Layer 3 switch that supports 48 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, of which 48 are powered-device (PD) ports that support Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+).
The switch has a switching capacity of 128 Gbps and can support a maximum of 48 10/100/1000 Ethernet PoE+ ports, or a combination of 10/100/1000 Ethernet PoE+ ports and SFP (small form-factor pluggable) uplinks. It is designed for enterprise-class switching and can be used in a variety of applications, including as an access or aggregation switch in small and medium-sized businesses, enterprise branch offices, and campus environments.
Some key features of the WS-C3750-48PS-S include:
Support for Cisco EnergyWise, which allows you to manage and reduce energy consumption across your network
Quality of Service (QoS) and security features, including Access Control Lists (ACLs), rate limiting, and IPv6 support
FlexStack Plus, which allows you to stack up to 8 switches and manage them as a single entity, providing increased network scalability and ease of management
Support for IPv4 and IPv6 routing, including OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP
Performance
This is a high-performance switch that is designed for enterprise-class networking applications. It has a switching capacity of 128 Gbps, which means it can handle a large amount of traffic at high speeds.
The switch also has a number of features that help to optimize its performance in different environments. For example, it has Quality of Service (QoS) features that allow you to prioritize certain types of traffic, such as voice or video, to ensure that they are delivered smoothly and without delay. It also has security features, such as Access Control Lists (ACLs), that can help to protect against network attacks and unauthorized access.
In addition, this Product supports Cisco EnergyWise, which allows you to monitor and manage energy consumption across your network. This can help to reduce energy costs and improve the overall efficiency of your network.
Port Configuration and Management
The WS-C3750-48PS-S Cisco Catalyst 3750 switch is a 48-port PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) switch with 4 SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) uplink ports. Here are the steps to configure and manage the switch:
Connect to the switch console port using a console cable and terminal emulation software, such as PuTTY or HyperTerminal.
Configure basic settings, such as hostname, domain name, and passwords using the CLI (Command Line Interface).
Configure IP address settings for the switch management interface using the "interface vlan" command.
Configure VLANs on the switch using the "vlan" command. By default, all switch ports are members of VLAN 1, the default VLAN.
Configure port security on switch ports using the "switchport port-security" command to limit the number of devices that can be connected to a port.
Configure Quality of Service (QoS) settings using the "mls qos" command to prioritize certain types of network traffic, such as voice or video.
Configure Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) on switch ports using the "channel-group" command to combine multiple physical links into a single logical link for increased bandwidth and redundancy.
Monitor switch performance using various show commands, such as "show interface", "show port-security", and "show processes cpu".
