FAQs

Q: Does the WS-C3850-48T-S support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
A: No, this model does not support PoE. For PoE requirements, consider the WS-C3850-48P-S (PoE+) or WS-C3850-48U-S (UPOE) models.

Q: What uplink modules are compatible with this switch?
A: The WS-C3850-48T-S supports three optional network modules: C3850-NM-4-1G (4x 1G SFP), C3850-NM-2-10G (2x 10G SFP+ or 4x 1G SFP), and C3850-NM-4-10G (4x 10G SFP+). The switch ships without an uplink module by default.

Q: Can this switch be stacked with other Catalyst 3850 models?
A: Yes, up to 9 Catalyst 3850 switches can be stacked using StackWise-480 technology with 480 Gbps stacking bandwidth. However, IP Base switches can only stack with other IP Base models in the 3850 series; mixed stacking with LAN Base or IP Services is not supported.

Q: What wireless capabilities does the WS-C3850-48T-S offer?
A: The Catalyst 3850 series provides integrated wireless LAN controller functionality, supporting up to 100 Cisco Aironet access points and 2000 wireless clients per switch or stack. This enables converged wired and wireless management on a single platform.

Q: Can I upgrade the IP Base license to IP Services?
A: Yes, the IP Base license can be upgraded to IP Services using the electronic right-to-use license L-C3850-48-S-E. This upgrade enables advanced Layer 3 routing protocols and additional features.
