Information About WS-C4948-S
The Cisco WS-C4948-S is a high-performance, fixed-configuration Layer 2–4 switch designed for enterprise, data center, and metro Ethernet deployments. Engineered for low-latency and wire-speed forwarding, this 1RU switch offers robust performance with 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 10-Gigabit uplink ports, making it ideal for high-density aggregation and top-of-rack deployments.
Key Features:
- Downlink Ports: 48 × 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports
- Uplink Ports: 4 × 1G/10G SFP/SFP+ uplink slots
- Performance: 136 Gbps switching capacity, 102 Mpps forwarding rate
- Latency: Sub-10 microseconds for Layer 2/3 forwarding
- Buffer Size: 16 MB shared packet buffer for efficient traffic handling
- Layer 2/3 Capabilities: Supports VLANs, STP, RSTP, MSTP, static and dynamic routing (OSPF, EIGRP, RIP, limited BGP)
- Quality of Service (QoS): Advanced QoS features for traffic shaping and prioritization
- Security Features: Includes Port Security, DHCP Snooping, DAI, IP Source Guard, CoPP, ACLs
- Redundancy and Power: Dual hot-swappable AC or DC power supply support, redundant fan tray
- Form Factor: 1RU fixed-form switch suitable for rack-mount deployment
- Management: Cisco IOS Software, CLI-based configuration, SNMP, SSH, and web-based tools
- Use Case: Ideal for enterprise aggregation, top-of-rack in data centers, or metro-E deployments requiring low latency and high throughput
- Operating Environment: Temperature range 0°C to 45°C; humidity 10% to 90% non-condensing
This switch is ideal for environments demanding high reliability, low latency, and scalability, and supports seamless migration to 10G core or distribution layers. Though now end-of-life, the WS-C4948-S remains a robust solution in legacy networks requiring stable and efficient performance.
