Overview

The Cisco WSC4500X32SFP is a high-performance switch designed for enterprise and data center environments, offering exceptional throughput and scalability. This switch comes equipped with 32 fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) ports, delivering high-speed connectivity and efficient data transfer rates suitable for demanding network requirements. Despite lacking a built-in power supply, its design focuses on efficiency and flexibility, allowing for customized power solutions based on specific deployment needs. Cooling is managed through a front-to-back airflow mechanism, ensuring optimal operation by maintaining a consistent temperature across all hardware components. This is critical in environments where equipment is densely packed, as it helps to prevent overheating and potential downtime. The system's cooling efficiency is further supported by field-replaceable fans, which include a total of five fans that can be easily swapped out to maintain continuous operation without significant interruptions for maintenance. For networks requiring enhanced connectivity, the switch offers an expansion module that supports an additional 8x10 GE SFP+/SFP ports. This optional feature enables the switch to adapt to growing network demands, providing a scalable solution that can evolve with increasing data volumes and connectivity needs.
  • Management is facilitated through a 10/100/1000 Base-T port, allowing for straightforward integration and oversight of network operations.
  • A Type A USB port is available for local storage, with support for USB devices up to 4 GB, offering a convenient option for firmware updates or configuration backups.
  • The switch boasts system throughput capabilities up to 800 Gbps, ensuring high-speed data processing and transfer across the network.
With hardware-based IPv4 and IPv6 routing, the Cisco WSC4500X32SFP can handle up to 250 million packets per second (Mpps) for IPv4 and up to 125 Mpps for IPv6, illustrating its ability to manage large volumes of traffic efficiently. The switch supports a variety of entries including 55K MAC entries, 256K IPv4 forwarding entries, and 128K IPv6 forwarding entries, providing ample capacity for large-scale deployments. Advanced features such as Flexible NetFlow, which can handle up to 128K entries, offer detailed network traffic visibility, allowing for sophisticated monitoring and analysis. The switch also supports 8 line-rate bidirectional SPAN and RSPAN sessions, facilitating comprehensive traffic inspection and troubleshooting. Security and network integrity are bolstered through features like DHCP snooping, with support for up to 12K entries, and protection against address resolution protocol (ARP) spoofing with up to 47K ARP entries. Additionally, the switch can support up to 4094 VLANs and SVIs, providing extensive segmentation options to enhance network performance and security. The switch also excels in supporting high-density virtual environments with Virtual Switching System (VSS) capabilities, enabling throughput of up to 1.6 terabits per second (Tbps) and ensuring seamless operation across virtualized infrastructure. With 64 CPU queues, the Cisco WSC4500X32SFP efficiently manages processing tasks, maintaining high performance even under heavy workloads. In conclusion, the Cisco WSC4500X32SFP is a versatile and capable switch designed for environments that demand high throughput, extensive scalability, and reliable performance. Its comprehensive feature set and expandability options make it an ideal choice for enterprises looking to future-proof their network infrastructure.
