C3750X-48-IOS-S-E= Use Case
Optimized Layer 3 Routing for Enterprise Campus Networks with C3750X-48-IOS-S-E
In a large corporate campus, IT teams upgraded multiple Cisco 3750-X 48-port switches from IP Base to IP Services (C3750X-48-IOS-S-E) to unlock advanced Layer 3 features like OSPF, EIGRP and Policy-Based Routing. By enabling inter-VLAN routing directly on each access switch and leveraging StackWise Plus, the network reduced core router load by 40%, slashed east-west latency by 25%, and simplified network segmentation—all while maintaining sub-second failover. The result: higher application performance, clear traffic isolation, and streamlined operations.
Enhanced QoS & Voice Prioritization in Unified Communication Deployments
A multinational enterprise deployed Cisco 3750-X 48-port switches with the IP Base to IP Services factory IOS upgrade (C3750X-48-IOS-S-E) to support a global VoIP rollout. The upgrade enabled industry-grade QoS features (Cisco Unified QoS, Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing and Low-Latency Queuing), voice VLAN tagging and per-port policy assignment. This guaranteed end-to-end voice quality, cut jitter by 35%, and maintained SLA compliance across 10 international sites—delivering crystal-clear calls and boosting workforce productivity.
High-Availability StackWise Architecture for Data Center Access
A financial services firm leveraged the C3750X-48-IOS-S-E license upgrade on stacked Cisco 3750-X switches to enable HSRP, VRRP and Hot-Standby Routing for mission-critical trading applications. With IP Services, the team implemented Stateful Switchover and multicast routing to ensure continuous data replication. The deployment achieved 99.999% uptime, sub-second convergence on link or node failure, and seamless firmware management across the stack—safeguarding transaction integrity and reducing operational risk.
