Product Review

The CISCO WS-C4948E-F-S offers 48 10/100/1000 RJ45 ports and 4 10GbE SFP+ ports, catering to high-density networking requirements and facilitating efficient uplink connectivity. However, it lacks support for Cisco TwinGig and OneX Converter Modules, limiting flexibility in network design and expansion. With a switching capacity of 176 Gbps and power consumption peaking at 275W, it balances performance and energy use, but its absence of converter module support may necessitate additional investment for those requiring adaptable interface options.

Overview

The CISCO WS-C4948E-F-S is a high-performance, Ethernet switch designed for enterprise networks. This model boasts a comprehensive set of features suitable for a wide range of applications, from high-density workplace environments to data centers. With its compact 1 Rack Unit (RU) size, measuring 1.75 x 17.5 x 19.4 inches and weighing 19 lbs, it is engineered for efficient use of rack space while delivering powerful network capabilities. Key hardware specifications include: - 48 10/100/1000 (RJ45) ports, providing versatile connectivity options for a variety of network devices. - 4 10GbE (SFP+) ports, enabling high-speed uplink or stacking capabilities for increased bandwidth and network expansion. - AC power supply, ensuring reliable power delivery to the switch under various operational conditions. The switch is equipped with a back-to-front cooling airflow system, optimizing thermal management and ensuring sustained performance under high workloads. It supports an average power consumption of 230 W, with a maximum power consumption of 275 W, reflecting its efficiency in energy usage. For enhanced network reliability and flexibility, the switch features a hot-swappable fan, allowing maintenance or replacement without disrupting network operations. The rack mounting options include front and rear mount, along with a high-performance rear mount, providing flexibility in installation to accommodate different rack configurations. Performance metrics reveal a switching capacity of 176 Gbps and a throughput of 131 Mpps (IPv4) and 110 Mpps (IPv6), indicative of its ability to handle large volumes of data traffic efficiently. The switch supports 57,000 routes, 55,000 MAC addresses, and up to 4094 VLAN IDs, Spanning Tree Protocol instances, Switched Virtual Interfaces, and active VLANs, illustrating its extensive capability in managing complex network architectures. Additional specifications include:
  • Support for up to 28,000 multicast routes and 32,000 hardware entries, ensuring comprehensive coverage for multicast applications and extensive addressability within the network.
  • Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) capability with 8 ingress and 8 egress ports, enabling detailed network traffic monitoring for enhanced visibility and troubleshooting.
  • Compatibility with SFP and SFP+ uplink optic types, though it does not support Cisco TwinGig or OneX Converter Modules, focusing instead on direct, high-speed connectivity.
Despite its extensive feature set, it's important to note that the CISCO WS-C4948E-F-S does not support Cisco TwinGig or OneX Converter Modules, indicating a design choice favoring direct fiber connections over modular port expansion. This decision aligns with the switch's emphasis on high-capacity, high-speed networking environments where performance and reliability are paramount. In summary, the CISCO WS-C4948E-F-S stands out as a capable and reliable solution for organizations seeking to enhance their network infrastructure. Its combination of high-density port availability, advanced features, and efficient design makes it a valuable asset for managing complex, high-volume network demands.
