Cisco Network Switch 3650 series 24 Port Data Gigabit Switch WS-C3650-24TS-E

The Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series Switch, with Cisco StackWise-160 Technology, can stack 9 switches and support up to 160 Gpbs stack bandwidth. The WS-C3650-24TS-E integrates with 24 Ethernet ports and 4 x 1G SFP uplink ports in IP Service feature set.

In addition to StackWise-160, the Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series supports high-availability features including but not limited to the following:

• Cross-Stack EtherChannel provides the ability to configure Cisco EtherChannel technology across different members of the stack for high resiliency.
• Flexlink provides link redundancy with convergence time less than 100ms.
• IEEE 802.1s/w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) provide rapid spanning-tree convergence independent of spanning-tree timers and also offer the benefit of Layer 2 load balancing and distributed processing. Stacked units behave as a single spanning-tree node.
• Per-VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree (PVRST+) allows rapid spanning-tree reconvergence on a per-VLAN spanning-tree basis, without requiring the implementation of spanning-tree instances.
• Switch-port autorecovery (Err-disable) automatically attempts to reactivate a link that is disabled because of a network error.

The Cisco Express Forwarding hardware routing architecture delivers extremely high-performance IP routing in the Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series Switches:

• IP unicast routing protocols (static, Routing Information Protocol Version 1 [RIPv1], and RIPv2, RIPng, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol [EIGRP] stub) are supported for small-network routing applications with the IP Base feature set. Limited static routing with the LAN Base feature set. Equal-cost routing facilitates Layer 3 load balancing and redundancy across the stack.
• Advanced IP unicast routing protocols (Open Shortest Path First [OSPF], EIGRP, Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 [BGPv4], and Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System Version 4 [IS-ISv4]) are supported for load balancing and constructing scalable LANs. IPv6 routing (OSPFv3, EIGRPv6) is supported in hardware for maximum performance. OSPF for routed access is included in the IP Base image. The IP Services feature set is required for full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4.
• Policy-based routing (PBR) allows superior control by facilitating flow redirection regardless of the routing protocol configured. Virtual routing and forwarding (VRF)-Lite enables a service provider to support two or more VPNs, with overlapping IP addresses. The IP Base feature set is required.
• Protocol-independent multicast (PIM) for IP multicast routing is supported, including PIM sparse mode (PIM‑SM), PIM dense mode (PIM-DM), PIM sparse-dense mode, and source-specific multicast (SSM). The IP Services feature set is required.
• IPv6 addressing is supported on interfaces with appropriate show commands for monitoring and troubleshooting.
