FAQs

Q: What is multigigabit technology and why does it matter?
A: The WS-C3650-8X24PD-E includes 8 multigigabit ports supporting IEEE 802.3bz (2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T), allowing speeds of 100Mbps, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G over existing Cat5e or Cat6 cabling. This enables you to support high-speed 802.11ac Wave 2 access points without rewiring your infrastructure.

Q: What does the IP Services license include?
A: IP Services is the advanced license tier for Catalyst 3650 switches, providing full Layer 3 routing (OSPF, EIGRP, BGP), advanced security features, Quality of Service (QoS), policy-based routing, Flexible NetFlow, IP SLA, and all Layer 2 capabilities. It's ideal for enterprise campus and distribution layer deployments.

Q: Can this switch act as a wireless LAN controller?
A: Yes, the WS-C3650-8X24PD-E has an integrated wireless controller that can manage up to 50 Cisco access points and 1,000 wireless clients per switch or stack. This eliminates the need for a separate standalone controller in branch office or small campus deployments, reducing costs and complexity.

Q: Is the PoE budget sufficient for all 24 ports at full power?
A: The 715W power supply provides approximately 435W for PoE+. This supports 14 ports at full 30W PoE+ power simultaneously. For deployments with lower per-port power requirements (e.g., IP phones at 7-15W, typical APs at 15-25W), more devices can be powered. A second 1100W power supply can be added for full PoE on all ports.

Q: What are the stacking capabilities?
A: The switch supports optional Cisco StackWise-160 technology, providing 160 Gbps of stack throughput. Up to 9 switches can be stacked as a single logical unit with unified management, resilient failover, and cross-stack PoE redundancy. Stacking requires the C3650-STACK-KIT (sold separately).
