Product Review

The Cisco WSC4500X16SFP offers 16 fixed 10GE ports with the option to expand via an 8x10 GE SFP+/SFP module, catering to high bandwidth requirements. However, the absence of a power supply and the limitation to front-to-back cooling could be drawbacks for some deployments. Its impressive system throughput of up to 800 Gbps and hardware-routing capabilities, supporting up to 250 Mpps for IPv4 and 125 Mpps for IPv6, make it suitable for environments demanding high performance and efficient data processing.

Overview

The Cisco WSC4500X16SFP is a high-performance switch designed for enterprise networks, offering a combination of speed, flexibility, and scalability. It features 16 fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports, providing a solid foundation for deploying high-bandwidth applications and services. This switch does not come with a power supply, emphasizing its modular design that allows for customization based on the specific needs of a network. Cooling is efficiently managed through a front-to-back airflow mechanism, ensuring that the switch operates within optimal temperature ranges even under high loads. For networks that require additional capacity, there is an option to add an expansion module that includes 8 additional 10GE SFP+/SFP ports. This feature enables the switch to adapt to growing demands without the need for a complete system overhaul. Management and configuration tasks are simplified with a 10/100/1000 Base-T management port, alongside a Type A USB port that supports storage devices up to 4 GB. This flexibility ensures that administrators can easily manage the switch’s settings and update firmware as needed. The inclusion of field-replaceable fans, with a total of five fans, underscores the switch's emphasis on maintainability and continuous operation. Key performance metrics of the Cisco WSC4500X16SFP include a system throughput of up to 800 Gbps and hardware-based IPv4 and IPv6 routing capabilities of up to 250 million packets per second (Mpps) and 125 Mpps, respectively. This ensures swift and efficient data processing and forwarding across the network. Additionally, the switch supports up to 55K MAC entries, 64K IPv4 forwarding entries, and 32K IPv6 forwarding entries, providing ample capacity for large and dynamic networks.
  • Flexible Netflow entries are supported up to 128K, enabling detailed network traffic analysis and monitoring.
  • Support for up to 4094 VLANs and SVIs, facilitating extensive network segmentation and efficient management of broadcast domains.
  • Jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes are supported, optimizing performance for high-data transfer applications.
The switch also excels in virtualization and resilience, offering Virtual Switching System (VSS) throughput of up to 1.6 terabits per second (Tbps) and featuring 64 CPU queues for prioritizing and managing traffic. Network security and efficiency are further enhanced through support for 8 line rate bidirectional SPAN and RSPAN sessions, 32K IGMP groups, 12K DHCP snooping entries, and 47K ARP entries. In summary, the Cisco WSC4500X16SFP stands out as a powerful and versatile networking solution. Its comprehensive feature set, including high system throughput, extensive routing capabilities, and support for a wide range of network configurations, makes it well-suited for enterprises looking to deploy a reliable, high-performance network infrastructure.
