Catalyst 3512 XL, 3524, and 3548 XL Stackable 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet Switches

THE CATALYST

3512 XL, 3524 XL, AND 3548 XL SWITCHES ARE MEMBERS OF THE 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

AND TELEPHONY SUPPORT

The Catalyst 3512 XL switch has 12 10/100 switched ports and

two Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC)-based Gigabit Ethernet

ports; the Catalyst 3524 XL has 24 10/100 ports and two

GBIC-based Gigabit Ethernet ports; and the Catalyst 3548 XL has

48 10/100 ports and two GBIC-based Gigabit Ethernet ports. The

built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports accommodate a range of GBIC

transceivers, including the Cisco GigaStack™ GBIC, and

1000BaseSX,1000BaseLX/LH and 1000BaseZX GBICs. The

dual GBIC-based Gigabit Ethernet implementation provides

customers tremendous deployment ﬂexibility—allowing

customers to implement one type of stacking and uplink

conﬁguration today, while preserving the option to migrate that

conﬁguration in the future.

The Catalyst 3500 XL switches are ideal for providing

desktop connectivity in a variety of network applications. The

12-port Catalyst 3512 XL offers low port density at a low entry

price. Catalyst 3524 XL and Catalyst 3548 XL switches deliver

dedicated 10- or 100-Mbps bandwidth to individual users and

servers at a low per-port price. All three desktop switches have

dual GBIC-based Gigabit Ethernet ports that provide an

ultra-ﬂexible and scalable solution for Gigabit Ethernet uplinks or

GigaStack GBIC stacking solutions. The switches are easy to

deploy, either on a desktop or in a wiring closet, and feature Cisco

IOS

software support. Administration of Cisco desktop Catalyst

switches is made even more convenient using the Cisco Switch

Clustering multidevice management technology.

Figure 1 The Catalyst 3512 XL, Catalyst 3524 XL, and Catalyst 3548 XL are

autosensing 10/100 switches for creating high-performance LANs. The

switches provide 12, 24, or 48 10/100 ports and two built-in GBIC-based

Gigabit Ethernet ports with up to 8.0 million packets per second performance.

Flexible Stacking with the GigaStack GBIC

The Catalyst 3500 series XL and Gigabit Ethernet-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. Customers can deploy a 1-Gbps independent stack

backplane in a cascade conﬁguration, or scale up to 5-Gbps of

bandwidth in a star conﬁguration using the Catalyst 3508G XL

Gigabit Ethernet aggregation switch. Network managers may use

one or both of the available GBIC ports to create high-speed

uplinks to the network core, using standard Gigabit Ethernet or

Gigabit EtherChannel

technology. High levels of stack resiliency

can also be implemented by deploying dual redundant Gigabit
