Product Features

Unified Wired and Wireless Convergence

Cisco’s Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) ASIC architecture allows seamless integration of wired and wireless traffic on a single platform, ensuring consistent policy enforcement and streamlined operations.

High PoE+ Capability

The switch supports up to 435W of PoE+ power, enabling it to power IP phones, wireless access points, and other devices directly through Ethernet cables, reducing the need for additional electrical infrastructure.

Cisco StackWise-480 and StackPower Technology

Cisco StackWise-480 provides up to 480 Gbps of stacking bandwidth, allowing multiple switches to operate as a single logical unit. StackPower enables power sharing and redundancy across a stack, increasing operational resilience.

Layer 3 Routing with Advanced Protocol Support

Supports dynamic Layer 3 routing with protocols including RIP, EIGRP, and RIPng. This feature allows efficient internal traffic routing without the need for additional hardware.

Enterprise-Grade Security

Offers extensive security features including 802.1X authentication, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), Access Control Lists (ACLs), and support for RADIUS and TACACS+ for secure access control and device management.

Intelligent Network Management

Manageable via a variety of protocols including SNMP, Telnet, SSH, and web-based interfaces. Also supports Cisco’s Flexible NetFlow (FNF) for enhanced traffic visibility and monitoring.

Robust Hardware Architecture

Designed for mission-critical applications, the switch includes redundant fans and supports optional dual power supplies for high availability and system uptime.
