FAQs

Q: What is the difference between the multigigabit and standard Gigabit ports on this switch?
A: The 12 multigigabit ports support auto-negotiation from 100Mbps up to 10Gbps (including 2.5G and 5G), making them ideal for next-generation Wi-Fi 6 access points and high-bandwidth devices. The remaining 36 ports are standard Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000).

Q: Can this switch support high-power wireless access points?
A: Yes, with Universal PoE (UPoE) delivering up to 60W per port and a 630W total PoE budget, this switch can power demanding devices like Cisco Aironet Wi-Fi 6 access points, PTZ cameras, video phones, and thin clients.

Q: What uplink modules are compatible with the WS-C3850-12X48U-S?
A: This model supports the C3850-NM-8x10G (8x 10G SFP+) and C3850-NM-2x40G (2x 40G QSFP+) network modules. The uplink module slot allows flexible high-speed connectivity to distribution or core layers.

Q: Does this switch include wireless controller functionality?
A: The IP Base license does not include integrated wireless LAN controller features. For wireless controller capabilities, you would need the IP Services or higher license tier, or a separate wireless controller appliance.

Q: How many switches can be stacked with StackWise-480?
A: Up to 9 Catalyst 3850 switches can be stacked using StackWise-480 technology, providing a unified management plane and 480 Gbps of stack bandwidth for high-availability and scalability.
