FAQs

Q: What is included in the WS-C3850-32XS-S bundle?
A: The WS-C3850-32XS-S includes the base switch with 24 SFP+ ports, the C3850-NM-8-10G network module providing 8 additional 10G SFP+ uplinks, a 715W AC power supply, and the IP Base feature set. SFP/SFP+ transceivers and stacking cables are sold separately.

Q: Can this switch support both 1G and 10G SFP modules simultaneously?
A: Yes, all SFP+ ports on the WS-C3850-32XS-S are backward compatible and support both 1G SFP and 10G SFP+ transceivers simultaneously, allowing flexible mixed-speed deployments without requiring separate interface types.

Q: What is the difference between IP Base and IP Services feature sets?
A: The IP Base feature set included with the WS-C3850-32XS-S provides Layer 3 routing with up to 1000 VLANs, static routing, OSPF, EIGRP, and policy-based routing. IP Services (available with the -E SKU) adds advanced features like VRF-Lite, multicast routing (PIM), and additional security capabilities. License upgrades are available.

Q: How many switches can be stacked together?
A: The Catalyst 3850-32XS-S supports stacking up to 9 switches using StackWise-480 technology with 480 Gbps of stack bandwidth. The stack operates as a single logical unit with unified management and can only stack with other Catalyst 3850 Series switches running the same license level (IP Base).

Q: Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
A: No, the WS-C3850-32XS-S is a non-PoE model designed for fiber connectivity via SFP/SFP+ transceivers. For PoE requirements, consider Catalyst 3850 models with RJ45 ports such as the WS-C3850-24P or WS-C3850-48P series.
