Catalyst 4900 Series Switch Applications
The Catalyst 4900 series switches (see Figure 1-1, Figure 1-2, and Figure 1-3) are
designed for high-performance, high-density edge switching applications. They
are fixed configuration switching solutions delivering 10/100/1000 connectivity
on all ports, supporting hot swappable, redundant power supplies in a compact
one rack-unit size for applications where space is limited.
Figure 1-1 Catalyst 4948 Switch
The Catalyst 4948 switch has a 96-Gbps, nonblocking, full-duplex switching
fabric, providing 72 million packets-per-second of switching capacity for
high-speed applications. The Catalyst
4948 chassis has 44
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports and four ports that can be
either 1000BASE-X SFP ports or 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T
Ethernet ports.
Figure 1-2 Catalyst 4948-10GE Switch
The Catalyst 4948-10GE switch has a 136-Gbps, nonblocking, full-duplex
switching fabric, providing 102 million packets-per-second of switching capacity
for high-speed applications. The Catalyst
4948-10GE chassis has 48
10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports and two 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports.
