FAQs

Q: What uplink modules are compatible with the WS-C3850-24P-L?
A: The WS-C3850-24P-L supports the C3850-NM-4-1G (4x 1G SFP) and C3850-NM-2-10G (2x 10G SFP+ or 4x 1G SFP) network modules. The modules are field-replaceable and hot-swappable, allowing flexible uplink configurations for fiber or higher-speed connectivity.

Q: Can I upgrade from LAN Base to IP Base or IP Services?
A: Yes, the Catalyst 3850 Series supports transparent software upgrades using Cisco's Right-To-Use (RTU) license activation via IOS CLI. You can upgrade to IP Base for enhanced Layer 3 routing and wireless controller functionality, or to IP Services for advanced features.

Q: How does StackPower work on this switch?
A: StackPower allows up to four switches to share power supplies as a common resource using dedicated StackPower cables (sold separately with LAN Base). It operates in power-sharing mode (aggregates all PSU power) or redundant mode (reserves the largest PSU for failover), eliminating the need for external redundant power systems.

Q: What is the maximum number of switches I can stack with this model?
A: You can stack up to 9 Catalyst 3850 switches with the same feature set (LAN Base) using StackWise-480 technology, providing 480 Gbps of total stack bandwidth. LAN Base switches can only stack with other LAN Base models.

Q: Does this switch support wireless controller functionality?
A: The WS-C3850-24P-L ships with LAN Base software, which does not include the integrated wireless controller feature. To enable wireless controller functionality (supporting up to 100 APs and 2,000 clients), you must upgrade to IP Base or higher license.
