Information About WS-C4948E-S
The WS-C4948E-S is part of the Cisco Catalyst 4900 Series, designed to deliver wire-speed Layer 2–3 switching with enterprise-class resiliency. This model provides 48 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports and 4 dedicated SFP uplinks for fiber connectivity. With a throughput of 72 mpps and a switching capacity of 96 Gbps, the switch handles high-volume data traffic with minimal latency. It supports advanced multilayer features via IP Base or Enterprise Services licenses and includes IPv6 support in software. Built with redundancy in mind, the switch offers hot-swappable dual power supply options and a compact 1RU form factor suited for space-constrained deployments.
Key Features:
-
48 x Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Delivers high-density copper connectivity for server or access-layer aggregation.
-
Advanced Layer 3 Support: Includes routing, multicast, QoS, and IPv6 capabilities via software-based licenses.
-
Redundant Power Supplies: Enables continuous uptime with hot-swappable dual PSU design.
-
High Throughput: Provides up to 72 million packets per second forwarding for consistent performance under load.
-
4 x SFP Uplinks: Offers dedicated fiber connectivity for uplink flexibility and scalability.
-
Compact and Durable: 1RU chassis with 16 MB shared buffer memory and 266 MHz CPU for efficient traffic management.
The WS-C4948E-S is ideal for enterprises and data centers seeking a cost-effective, high-density switching solution with resilient design and software-based IPv6 support.
