Description
General Information about this Cisco WS-C3850-48T-L
Manufacturer: Cisco
Model Number or SKU# WS-C3850-48T-L
Product Line: Catalyst
Product Series: 3850
Product Type: Ethernet Switch
A Cisco Gigabit Ethernet switch is a type of networking device that is designed to connect devices on a computer network using Gigabit Ethernet technology. Gigabit Ethernet is a high-speed networking standard that supports data transfer rates of up to 1 Gbps (gigabit per second).
Cisco Gigabit Ethernet switches are designed for use in a variety of networking environments, including enterprise, campus, and small business networks. They are known for their high performance and robust feature sets, and can be used to support a wide range of networking applications, such as data transfer, voice over IP (VoIP), and video streaming.
Cisco Gigabit Ethernet switches typically include a number of Gigabit Ethernet ports, which can be used to connect devices such as computers, servers, and switches. They may also include uplink ports, which allow for the connection of different types of media, such as fiber optic or Ethernet cables. The switches can be configured and managed through a web-based interface or a command-line interface, allowing administrators to customize and optimize the performance of the switch to meet the specific needs of the network.
SFP Managed Switch
An SFP (small form-factor pluggable) managed switch is a type of networking device that is designed to connect and manage devices on a computer network. It typically includes a number of SFP ports, which allow for the connection of different types of media, such as fiber optic or Ethernet cables. The switch can be configured and managed through a web-based interface or a command-line interface, allowing administrators to customize and optimize the performance of the switch to meet the specific needs of the network.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance
The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3850-48T-L switch has various troubleshooting and maintenance features to help maintain the stability and performance of the network. Some of the key features include:
Cisco IOS Software: The switch runs on Cisco IOS Software, which provides a command-line interface (CLI) and a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) for managing and troubleshooting the switch.
Error messages and log files: The switch generates error messages and log files that can be used to diagnose and troubleshoot issues with the switch. The log files can be viewed through the CLI or GUI.
SNMP: The switch supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which allows for monitoring and management of the switch through a network management system.
Cisco Network Assistant: Cisco Network Assistant is a free software that can be used to manage multiple Cisco switches and routers. It provides a GUI that simplifies switch configuration, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
Auto Smartports: Auto Smartports feature automatically detects the type of device connected to the switch port and configures the port accordingly, which can help reduce the number of configuration errors
Cisco Embedded Event Manager (EEM): Cisco EEM allows for automation of network management tasks through the use of scripts and policies. This can help simplify troubleshooting and maintenance tasks.
Cisco StackWise-480: This allows for stacking multiple switches, which increases scalability and resiliency. If one switch fails, the other switches in the stack can take over its functions.
EnergyWise technology: This allows you to monitor and control energy consumption on the switch, which can help reduce energy costs and improve energy efficiency.
Firmware upgrade: The switch can be upgraded to the latest firmware version through the CLI or GUI, which can help improve performance and security.
Backup and restore configuration: The switch configuration can be backed up and restored, which can help quickly recover from a failure.
