4.

Provide convergence between wired and wireless over a single platform.

Provide high availability with new and improved 480-Gbps stacking and Cisco StackPower ™.

Wired and wireless security and application visibility are natively built into the switch.

Support full IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), Universal Power Over Ethernet (UPOE), modular and field-replaceable network modules, redundant fans, and power supplies.

5. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 enhances productivity by enabling applications such as IP telephony, wireless, and video for a true borderless network experience.

In addition, the Cisco Catalyst 3850 SFP based models support 12 or 24 SFP receptacles, and SFP+ based models support 12, 24, or 48 receptacles. These SFP/SFP+ receptacles are compatible with a variety of Gigabit Ethernet pluggable transceiver modules for both copper and fiber downlink support. These models add even more flexibility to the interface choices that users can make in a single Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch or in a stack of Cisco Catalyst 3850 switches.

Source:Cisco Transceiver Modules Compatibility Information Note: Customers need to purchase the IP Base software model or the IP Services software model in order to use a Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switch as a wireless controller. LAN Base models require the purchase of a StackPower cable separately to enable StackPower functionality.

Q. How do you manage the Cisco Catalyst 3850?

A. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 can be managed using the Cisco IOS Software CLI or using Cisco Prime ™ Infrastructure 2.0.

Q. What management ports are available on the Cisco Catalyst 3850?

A. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 comes with a 10/100 Ethernet dedicated management port on the backside of the switch right above the console port. This port is in separate VRF called “Mgmt-vrf.” This is to segment the management traffic from the global routing table of the switch.

Q. What are the power consumptions for copper and fiber SKUs? A. For 24 port copper SKU the power consumption is 200W and for 48 port its 280W. In the case of both 12 Port and 24 Port fiber SKUs its 200W. Q. What are the different types of licenses in the Cisco Catalyst 3850?

A. There are two main types of Cisco Catalyst 3850 license: permanent RTU license and evaluation RTU license.

These are available for both image-based licensing (IP Base or IP Services) and AP count licensing.

A permanent RTU license is a paid license, with no expiration date. The universal Cisco IOS XE Software-based images have all three license levels: LAN Base, IP Base, and IP Services. RTU CLI commands enable the switch license to be moved between different license levels.

An evaluation RTU license allows the customers to evaluate image-based and/or AP count license for 90 days at no cost.

Q. What are the license requirements for a Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch stack?

A. In a Cisco Catalyst 3850 stack, all switches should be at the same image-based license (IP Services/IPBase/LAN Base) level. The active switch license level is considered as the reference, and the member switch licenses are compared against it. If there is a mismatch, the active switch with the syslog message “ license mismatch error” indicates that the stacking was unsuccessful. Because the 12-port and 24-port SFP models only ship with an IP Base

or IP Services base license, in order for them to stack with LAN Base switches, either the latter are upgraded to a common higher license level or the former are downgraded to LAN Base through the CLI .

Q. How is the access point count license managed across a Cisco Catalyst 3850 stack?

A. The total access point count license of a Cisco Catalyst 3850 stack is equal to the sum of all the individual member access point count licenses, up to a maximum of 50 access points. When new members are added to the stack, the total access point count license of the stack is automatically recalculated. When members are removed from the stack, the access point count license does not decrement until a reload of the stack.

Stack member addition example: A Cisco Catalyst 3850 stack with 3 switches, each with an access point count license of 10 access points, will have support for a total of 30 access points. When a new Cisco Catalyst 3850 (Switch 4) is added to the stack with an access point count license of 25 access points, the total access points supported by the stack equals 50, since the total (30+25) 55 exceeds the stack limit.

Stack member remove example: In the preceding example, if Switch 4 is removed from the stack, the access point count license stays at 50 access points until the stack is reloaded. After being reloaded, the stack returns to its original value of 30 access points.

Q. How is stacking done in the Cisco Catalyst 3850?

A. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 introduces a revolutionary stacking technology called Cisco StackWise-480. It offers a stacking bandwidth of 480 Gbps nonblocking, and it supports Cisco IOS Software Stateful Switchover (SSO) technology. Both the stacking cables and connectors have been revamped in the Cisco Catalyst 3850 for easy installation and removal.

Q. A.

How many Cisco Catalyst 3850 switches can make up a Cisco StackPower stack?

Up to four switches can become part of the same Cisco StackPower stack in a ring topology.
