FAQs

Q: What is the difference between the WS-C3650-48FWS-S and WS-C3650-48FS-S?
A: The WS-C3650-48FWS-S includes 5 wireless AP licenses built-in, enabling integrated wireless LAN controller functionality to manage up to 50 access points and 1000 wireless clients per switch or stack. The WS-C3650-48FS-S is the same hardware without the wireless licenses. Both support full PoE (775W) with 48 PoE+ ports and 4x 1G SFP uplinks.

Q: Can this switch support full PoE+ (30W) on all 48 ports simultaneously?
A: No, the default 775W power supply cannot deliver full 30W PoE+ to all 48 ports simultaneously (which would require 1,440W). For deployments requiring maximum PoE per port across all interfaces, the power budget must be managed via power policing, or a second power supply can be added to increase total available PoE capacity.

Q: What routing protocols are supported with the IP Base license?
A: IP Base includes essential Layer 3 features such as static routing and RIP (RIPv1 and RIPv2). Advanced routing protocols like OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, and ISIS require an upgrade to the IP Services license. IP Base also supports inter-VLAN routing, HSRP, VRRP, and VRF-lite.

Q: Is this switch compatible with StackWise-160 stacking?
A: Yes, the WS-C3650-48FWS-S supports optional StackWise-160 technology, allowing up to 9 switches to be stacked with 160 Gbps of stack bandwidth. Stacking modules and cables are sold separately. This enables simplified management, redundancy, and scalability across the stack.

Q: What wireless access points are compatible with the integrated wireless controller?
A: The integrated wireless controller supports Cisco Aironet access point series including 1040, 1140, 1260, 1600, 2600, 3500, 3600, and 3700. The switch can manage up to 50 APs per switch (or per stack) with a total wireless bandwidth of up to 40 Gbps, supporting up to 1000 concurrent wireless clients and 64 WLANs.
