Catalyst 3508G XL Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch

THE CATALYST

3508G XL EIGHT-PORT STACKABLE GIGABIT ETHERNET SWITCH IS A MEMBER OF CISCO

SYSTEMS CATALYST 3500 SERIES XL, A SCALABLE LINE OF STACKABLE 10/100 AND GIGABIT ETHERNET

SWITCHES THAT DELIVERS PREMIUM PERFORMANCE

, MANAGEABILITY, AND FLEXIBILITY WITH

UNPARALLELED INVESTMENT PROTECTION

The Catalyst 3508G XL switch features eight gigabit

interface converter (GBIC)-based 1000BaseX ports and a

10-Gbps switching fabric. These features make this switch

ideal for wiring closet aggregation of 10/100 switches with

Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and Gigabit Ethernet servers.

Available in Standard and Enterprise editions, the Catalyst

3508GXLswitchissoftwareupgradable,soyourinvestment

is protected and your LAN can grow and evolve with your

networkrequirements. The switchis easy todeploy,eitheron

a desktop or in a wiring closet, and features Cisco IOS

software support.

The Catalyst 3508G XL is a Gigabit Ethernet aggregation switch that provides

eight GBIC-based Gigabit Ethernet ports and a 10-Gbps switching fabric,

New Cisco Scalable Stacking Architecture

Cisco Systems, the leader in internetworking solutions,

providestheindustry’smostflexible,scalable,andmanageable

stacking architecture for Catalyst 3500 series XL and

gigabit-enabled Catalyst 2900 series XL switches.

Flexible Stacking

The Catalyst 3500 series XL and gigabit-enabled Catalyst

2900 series XL switches can be stacked using the low-cost

Cisco GigaStack GBIC. The two-port GigaStack GBIC

offers a range of highly ﬂexible stacking and performance

options. It delivers 1-Gbps connectivity in a daisy-chained

conﬁguration or up to 2-Gbps full-duplex connectivity in a

dedicated, switch-to-switch conﬁguration.

Cisco Switch Clustering

In addition, Cisco takes stacking to a new level with Switch

Clustering technology. This breakthrough technology

enablesup to16interconnected Catalyst3500 XL, 2900XL,

and Catalyst 1900 switches, regardless of geographic

proximity, to form a managed, single-IP address network.

These switches can be clustered using a broad range of

connectivity options to deliver different levels of

performance to meet customers’ requirements. Clustering

connectivity options for the Catalyst 3508G XL include

low-cost Cisco GigaStack GBIC, Gigabit Ethernet, and

Gigabit

EtherChannel. Because Cisco Switch Clustering

technology is not limited by proprietary stacking modules

and stacking cables, it expands the traditional stacking

domain beyond a single wiring closet, and lets users “mix

and match” interconnections to meet their speciﬁc

management, performance, and cost requirements.
