Cisco WS-C4948-10GE-S 48-Port 10Gigabit Ethernet Switch

This fully refurbished and tested switch comes with 48x 10/100/1000BaseT ports and 2x 10Gigabit Ethernet slots, 1 AC power supply, and an IP base image. It carries a 1-year warranty.

Note: 10Gigabit transceivers are not included.

Product Overview

The Cisco Catalyst 4948 10 Gigabit Ethernet Switch is a wire-speed, low-latency, Layer 2 to 4, 1-rack-unit (1RU) fixed-configuration switch for rack-optimized server switching. Based on the proven Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series hardware and software architecture, it offers exceptional performance, bandwidth, and reliability for low-density, multilayer aggregation of high-performance servers and workstations.

High-performance switching is made possible with dedicated specialized resources known as ternary content addressable memory (TCAM). Ample TCAM resources (64,000 entries) enable high feature capacity, providing wire-speed routing and switching performance with concurrent provisioning of services such as quality of service (QoS) and security, helping ensure scalability for today's network requirements with ample room for future growth.

Key Features

The switch offers 48 ports of wire-speed 10/100/1000BASE-T with 2 ports of wire-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet (X2 optics). It provides exceptional reliability and serviceability with optional internal AC or DC 1+1 hot-swappable power supplies and a hot-swappable fan tray with redundant fans.

Features and Benefits

The switch delivers wire-speed performance in all directions, power-supply redundancy for nonstop operation, and comprehensive management.

Wire-peed performance is maintained regardless of the number of route entries or Layer 3 and 4 services enabled. Hardware-based CiscoWorks solutions and embedded CiscoWorks CiscoView provide comprehensive management tools to deliver device, VLAN, traffic, and policy management.

The switch also includes a single, dedicated 10/100 console port and a single, dedicated 10/100 management port for offline disaster recovery. Remote in-band management is available with SNMP, Telnet client, BOOTP, and TFTP.
