Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary interface capabilities of the Cisco WS-C3850-16XS-E? +
This model features 16 fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports, designed for high-density, high-speed fiber connectivity in the aggregation layer. Additionally, it includes a single dedicated network module slot, allowing for further uplink flexibility to suit your specific data center or campus topology requirements.
Does the WS-C3850-16XS-E support software-defined networking features? +
Yes, this unit comes pre-installed with the IP Services (E) feature set. This advanced licensing tier provides robust Layer 3 routing capabilities, including OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, and IS-IS, making it an ideal candidate for integration into sophisticated software-defined access architectures and enterprise-grade routed environments.
Can I stack the Cisco Catalyst 3850-16XS units to increase port density? +
Absolutely. The Catalyst 3850 series utilizes Cisco StackWise-480 technology, which provides a high-speed stacking bandwidth of 480 Gbps. By interconnecting multiple units, you can manage them as a single logical entity, effectively scaling your throughput and simplifying administrative tasks across your switching infrastructure.
What is the power capacity of the included 350W power supply? +
The WS-C3850-16XS-E ships with a 350W AC power supply, which is sufficient to handle the standard operational power requirements of the switch chassis and its active SFP+ interfaces. In mission-critical environments, you can add a secondary modular power supply for power redundancy.
Which types of transceivers are compatible with the SFP+ ports on this switch? +
The 16 SFP+ ports support a wide range of Cisco-certified 10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR, and 10GBASE-ER optical transceivers. It is also compatible with SFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables for short-reach, low-latency connections within a single rack or adjacent server cabinets.
What are the primary management protocols supported by the Catalyst 3850? +
You can manage this switch via the industry-standard Command Line Interface (CLI), Cisco Prime Infrastructure, or the integrated web-based GUI. It supports SNMPv3, SSHv2, and NETCONF for programmatic control, allowing for seamless integration into modern IT management platforms and automated orchestration workflows.
How does the WS-C3850-16XS-E handle hardware-based encryption? +
The switch is equipped with Cisco StackWise-480 and integrated hardware support for MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE). This allows for line-rate hardware encryption on all ports, ensuring that your data-in-transit is protected from interception at the link layer without compromising switching performance or port latency.
Is this switch suitable for high-performance aggregation in a campus network? +
Given its 16-port 10G density and advanced IP Services routing capabilities, the WS-C3850-16XS-E is perfectly positioned as a high-performance aggregation switch. It provides the necessary throughput to aggregate traffic from multiple access-layer switches while maintaining the intelligent routing policies required for modern multi-service campus networks.
