Primary Features and Benefits

Data Sheet

The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Series is available with either the IP Base image or the IP Services image. The IP Base image feature set includes advanced quality of service (QoS), rate-limiting, access control lists (ACLs), and basic static and Routing Information Protocol (RIP) routing capability. The IP Services image provides a richer set of enterprise-class features, including advanced hardware-based IP unicast and multicast routing.

An additional Advanced IP Services license is also available. This license is required for IPv6 routing (Layer 3 switching).

Cisco StackWise Technology offers Stackable Resiliency

Cisco StackWise technology is a stacking architecture optimized for Gigabit Ethernet. This technology is designed to respond to additions, deletions, and redeployment while maintaining constant performance. Cisco StackWise technology unites up to nine individual switches into

a single logical unit, using special stack-interconnect cables and stacking software. The individual switches can be any combination of Cisco Catalyst 3750 and Cisco Catalyst 3750-E Series Switches. The stack behaves as a single switching unit that is managed by a master switch, elected from one of the member switches. The master switch automatically creates and updates all the switching and optional routing tables. A working stack can accept new members or delete old ones without service interruption.

Ease of Use: “Plug-and-Play” Configuration

A working stack is self-managing and self-configuring. When switches are added or removed, the master switch automatically loads the Cisco IOS® Software revision running on the stack to the new switch, loads the global configuration parameters, and updates all the routing tables to reflect changes. Upgrades are applied universally and simultaneously to all members of the stack.

The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Series stacks up to nine switches as a single logical unit for a total of 468 Ethernet or PoE 10/100 ports, or 468 Ethernet 10/100/1000 ports or PoE 10/100/1000 ports, or nine 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Additional port combinations can be created by connecting

the Cisco Catalyst 3750-E Series Switches to the stack. Individual 10/100, 10/100/1000, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet units can be joined in any combination to evolve with network needs.

Return on Investment Through Lower Operations Costs

The automatic Cisco IOS Software version checking and loading of the global configuration parameters provide the first level of operational time saving. The second level is added during the event of an outage. When you remove a troubled switch from an existing stack of switches and replace it with another switch, the master switch will recognize this as a maintenance outage and automatically reload the port-level configuration that was on the previous switch without user intervention. This allows IT managers to have local personnel in remote locations perform maintenance tasks instead of sending costly technicians out for a few minutes of work, thus saving thousands of dollars in operational costs.

3750-48PS, 3750-24PS specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in the networking industry, providing robust solutions that cater to diverse organizational needs. Among its array of products, the Cisco Catalyst 3750 series stands out, particularly the models 3750-24PS and 3750-48PS. These switches are designed for the enterprise market, delivering high performance, advanced features, and exceptional flexibility.

The Cisco Catalyst 3750-24PS is a 24-port Ethernet switch that comes equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, allowing it to supply power to connected devices such as IP phones and wireless access points. This model supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 operations, providing a versatile solution suitable for various network topologies. The switch boasts a 2.5 Gbps stack bandwidth, enabling seamless integration into Cisco's StackWise technology. This feature allows multiple switches to be interconnected, functioning as a single unified system, which enhances network scalability and management.

On the other hand, the Cisco Catalyst 3750-48PS features 48 Ethernet ports with PoE support, making it an excellent choice for larger deployments. This model offers enhanced connectivity options and greater power capabilities, catering to more substantial device populations within enterprises. Like its 24-port counterpart, it supports VLANs, which facilitate traffic segregation for optimal network performance.

Both models support advanced Layer 3 routing protocols, including RIP, OSPF, and EIGRP, allowing for efficient routing within the network. The Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities ensure optimal delivery of time-sensitive applications, such as voice and video, providing a seamless user experience.

Another remarkable feature of the Cisco Catalyst 3750 series is the incorporation of Cisco's Smart Install technology, which simplifies switch deployment and management. This technology automates device configuration and software upgrades, reducing the operational burden on network administrators.

Security is a priority in today’s networking environment, and the 3750 series includes numerous security features. This encompasses features like dynamic ARP inspection, DHCP snooping, and port security, which work in concert to safeguard data integrity and access controls.

In summary, the Cisco Catalyst 3750-24PS and 3750-48PS are exceptional switches that deliver a blend of performance, flexibility, and security. Their advanced features make them suitable for both small and large enterprises, effectively meeting the demands of modern networking environments while ensuring scalability and manageability.
