Description

Cisco C1000-48P-4G-L Network Switch

A flexible network switch intended for small to medium-sized enterprises is the Cisco C1000-48P-4G-L. It offers flexible network connectivity with 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 Gigabit SFP uplink ports. It can power linked devices like IP phones and wireless access points because it has Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality.

The switch supports Quality of Service (QoS) settings and comprehensive security features, and it is simple to deploy and manage. It offers a financially sensible solution for expanding company networks and is perfect for improving network performance and dependability.

Usages and features of C1000-48P-4G-L Switch

Port Configuration:

• 48 Ethernet Ports: Provides 48 ports for connecting devices such as computers, printers, IP phones, and other network devices.
• 4 Gigabit SFP Ports: These Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) ports allow for fiber optic connections or high-speed uplinks to other switches or routers.

Power over Ethernet (PoE):

• PoE Support: The “48P” in the model number indicates that all 48 Ethernet ports support Power over Ethernet. This feature allows the switch to provide power to connected devices (such as IP phones, cameras, and wireless access points) over the Ethernet cables, eliminating the need for separate power supplies.

Layer 2 Switching:

• Layer 2 Features: Supports basic Layer 2 switching functionalities such as VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and link aggregation.

Network Management:

• Cisco IOS Software: Runs Cisco’s IOS (Internetwork Operating System) software, providing advanced features for network management, security, and troubleshooting.
• Web GUI and CLI: Can be managed through a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) or a command-line interface (CLI), offering flexibility in configuration and monitoring.

Security Features:

• Access Control Lists (ACLs): Allows filtering of traffic based on criteria such as source/destination IP addresses or protocols.
• Port Security: Enhances security by restricting access to the switch ports based on MAC addresses.

Quality of Service (QoS):

• QoS Features: Supports prioritization of traffic to ensure that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and latency requirements.

Energy Efficiency:

• Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE): Reduces power consumption during periods of low data activity.

Physical Design:

• Rack-Mountable: Designed to be mounted in standard 19-inch racks, suitable for deployment in data centers or network closets.
• Compact Size: Typically a 1U (1.75 inches) high form factor, conserving rack space.
