Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What Layer 3 routing capabilities does this switch provide?
A: The Cisco Catalyst 3560X supports static routing, RIP v1/v2, and OSPF stub areas with up to 11,000 IPv4 routes, making it ideal for inter-VLAN routing and segmented enterprise networks.
Q: How many switches can I stack together?
A: You can stack up to 9 units using StackWise Plus technology, creating a single logical switch with 32 Gbps stack bandwidth and simplified management across all stacked units.
Q: Does it support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
A: This model (WS-C3560X-48T-L) does not include PoE. For PoE requirements, consider the WS-C3560X-48P-L variant which provides 48 port PoE switch capabilities for powered devices.
Q: What makes this suitable for enterprise environments?
A: Advanced security features including IEEE 802.1X authentication, comprehensive QoS for voice/video traffic, Layer 3 switching capabilities, and enterprise-grade reliability make it perfect for mission-critical business networks.
Q: Can I connect fiber optic cables to this switch?
A: Yes, the 4 SFP uplink ports support various SFP modules including multimode and single-mode fiber transceivers, enabling integration with fiber ethernet switches and long-distance backbone connections.
