Cisco WS-C3650-24PDM-L | Catalyst 3650 24-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch, 390W, 2x 10G SFP+

Q: What is the difference between the 24PDM model and standard 3650 models?
A: The WS-C3650-24PDM-L is a compact mini switch less than 12 inches deep with fixed fans and a fixed power supply, designed for tight wiring closets. It supports external RPS2300 for redundancy but cannot use modular power supplies like standard 3650 models.

Q: Can this switch be stacked with other Catalyst 3650 models?
A: Yes, the 24PDM-L supports optional StackWise-160 stacking and can stack with other Catalyst 3650 switches. However, LAN Base switches can only stack with other LAN Base models, not with IP Base or IP Services feature sets.

Q: How many PoE+ devices can this switch power simultaneously?
A: With a 390W PoE budget, the switch can provide full 30W PoE+ power to up to 12 ports simultaneously. The total available PoE power depends on the connected device requirements and can support more devices at lower wattages.

Q: Does the LAN Base license support wireless controller functionality?
A: No, the LAN Base feature set does not include wireless controller (mobility agent or mobility controller) functionality. IP Base or higher license is required to enable integrated wireless controller capabilities on the Catalyst 3650.

Q: What are the key benefits of the UADP ASIC architecture?
A: The Cisco Unified Access Data Plane ASIC enables uniform wired-wireless policy enforcement, enhanced application visibility, flexible programmability for SDN, and superior resiliency with improved performance for converged access deployments.
