FAQs

Q: Does the WS-C3850-16XS-S support both 1G and 10G SFP modules?
A: Yes, all 16 SFP+ ports are dual-rate and support both 1 Gigabit Ethernet SFP modules and 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ modules, providing flexible deployment options and investment protection.

Q: What is the difference between IP Base and IP Services license?
A: The WS-C3850-16XS-S ships with IP Base, which includes Layer 3 routing (static, OSPF, EIGRP), wireless controller functionality, and policy-based routing. IP Services adds advanced features like VRF-Lite and IP multicast routing protocols. Licenses can be upgraded via Cisco Right To Use RTU process.

Q: Can this switch be stacked with other Catalyst 3850 models?
A: Yes, the WS-C3850-16XS-S supports StackWise-480 technology and can stack with other Catalyst 3850 series switches running the same license tier (IP Base or IP Services). Up to 9 switches can be stacked with 480 Gbps total stack bandwidth and managed as a single unit.

Q: Does this model support Power over Ethernet?
A: No, the WS-C3850-16XS-S is a fiber-only 10G SFP+ switch and does not support PoE or PoE+. For PoE requirements, consider Catalyst 3850 copper models with PoE+ or UPOE capabilities.

Q: What network module is included with this switch?
A: The WS-C3850-16XS-S ships with the C3850-NM-4-10G network module pre-installed, which provides 4 additional 10G SFP+ uplink ports. The switch has 12 fixed SFP+ ports on the front panel plus these 4 module ports for a total of 16 ports.
