Description
Introducing the High-Speed Switch
The WS-C3850-32XS-S is a model of the Cisco Catalyst 3850 series of switches. It is a L3 managed switch, which means it has advanced network management capabilities and can support multiple routing protocols. The “32XS-S” refers to the number of SFP+ (10G) ports.
The switch is designed to provide high-speed switching performance, with a forwarding rate of up to 128 Gbps. It supports various advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS), Access Control Lists (ACLs), and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). It is also equipped with a stacking feature, allowing multiple switches to be managed as a single entity, providing a scalable solution for large networks.
Maximize Bandwidth of Catalyst Switch
Maximizing the bandwidth of the WS-C3850-32XS-S Cisco Catalyst 3850-32XS-S L3 Managed Switch involves several steps, including the following:
- Upgrading to the latest firmware version: This will ensure that the switch has the latest features, bug fixes, and performance enhancements.
- Configuring Quality of Service (QoS): QoS allows you to prioritize different types of network traffic, such as voice, video, or data. This will help to minimize the impact of bandwidth-hungry applications on other applications and devices.
- Enabling Link Aggregation (LAG): LAG allows multiple physical links to be grouped together to form a single logical link. This will increase the bandwidth of the switch and provide greater reliability and redundancy.
- Configuring Storm Control: Storm control helps to prevent network congestion caused by broadcast, multicast, and unicast traffic.
- Enabling Spanning Tree Protocol (STP): STP helps to prevent loops in the network, which can cause network congestion and slow down performance.
- Implementing Traffic Shaping: Traffic shaping helps to control the flow of network traffic and ensure that bandwidth-hungry applications do not consume too much bandwidth.
