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.
