ME-3600X-24TS-M provides managed Layer 3 Carrier Ethernet access through 24 copper 10/100/1000 ports and two fixed SFP+ uplink cages in a 1U rack chassis. The non-PoE access interfaces connect independently powered equipment, while the uplink cages support Gigabit fiber connections; 10 Gigabit operation requires separate license activation. Metro IP Access supplies the base routing and Ethernet service features. The Cisco ME 3600X series addresses service-provider business access and mobile applications rather than powered campus endpoints. ME-3600X-24FS-M, also discontinued, changes the access interfaces to 24 Gigabit SFP ports. A Cisco ME 3600X-24TS Ethernet access switch retains copper customer connections without requiring access-port transceivers, while its fixed uplink architecture avoids a separate removable network card.
ME-3600X-24TS-M price for new stock is $13,438.43. ME-3600X-24TS-M refurb price is $434.01. ME-3600X-24TS-M is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

44 Gbps switching capacity and 65 Mpps forwarding establish the traffic limits for aggregating access connections. Static routing, RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS and BGP provide routed access under Metro IP Access, with PIM-SM and PIM-DM supporting multicast distribution. The base tier does not include MPLS services. ME-3600X-24TS-M carries 1 GB DRAM, 64 MB flash and a 44 MB packet buffer for software operation, image storage and queued traffic. Metro IP Access supports 8000 MAC addresses and 20000 IPv4 routes; the MAC limit rises to 16000 with Advanced Metro IP Access. STP, RSTP and MSTP control Layer 2 forwarding topology, while LACP supports EtherChannel formation. Management includes the console, remote Telnet, SNMP and Cisco Configuration Engine. SSH requires the cryptographic software image and permits five simultaneous sessions; Telnet permits 16. The dedicated Ethernet management interface provides a separate connection for administration.
ORM Systems offers ME-3600X-24TS-M in new sealed and certified refurbished condition, with up to 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units; every condition includes 30-day returns, with terms applying. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU status and fan status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity, power configuration, optics and required license entitlements when ordering this switch. POs are accepted, government orders have Net-30 terms, and RMA includes advance replacement; include enterprise and volume quantities on the PO, with regional stock and RMA across UK, EU, US and MEA.

A service migration requiring advanced features needs license acceptance testing before cutover. The embedded Advanced Metro IP Access evaluation lasts 60 days and becomes unusable after the next reload once expired. Include a reboot in staging, then specify the production license configuration on the purchase order.
When multiple customer sites require matching Ethernet service policies, EVCs and selective QinQ provide service classification options. Three-level hierarchical QoS and 4000 output queues support the service policy structure. Define customer traffic classes, shaping rules and service-instance configurations before specifying the quantity and acceptance configuration on the purchase order.
A mobile access rollout requiring network timing can use synchronous Ethernet with ESMC and synchronization status messaging, plus the BITS interface. Four external alarm inputs accommodate site alarm connections. Check the timing source, synchronization design and alarm wiring before specifying the switch configuration and installation requirements on the purchase order.
PoE power for connected endpoints
ME-3600X-24TS-M does not supply PoE through its copper access ports. Phones, cameras and other powered endpoints require independent power arrangements rather than power delivered by this switch.
MPLS services under the base license
Metro IP Access does not enable MPLS, EoMPLS or VPLS. Advanced Metro IP Access activation through L-ME3600X-A is required before those services can be deployed.
Active Cisco hardware service coverage
Cisco support for the ME 3600X series ended October 31, 2022. A new sealed unit does not restore Cisco service eligibility for this discontinued hardware.
Fiber connections on every access port
ME-3600X-24TS-M has copper access interfaces rather than SFP access cages. Its two fixed optical uplink cages cannot provide fiber interfaces for all 24 access connections.

ME-3600X-24TS-M identifies the Cisco ME 3600X-24TS Ethernet access switch with 24 copper 10/100/1000 ports and two fixed SFP+ uplink cages. ME 3600X identifies the series, while the 24-port copper configuration separates this model from the fiber version. Software features and 10 Gigabit uplink activation use separate licenses.
The ME 3600X supports console CLI, remote Telnet, SSH with a cryptographic image, SNMP and Cisco Configuration Engine management. A dedicated Ethernet management port provides an additional administrative connection. SSH permits five simultaneous sessions, while Telnet permits 16. Specify the software image and management configuration required for acceptance testing.
ME-3600X-24TS-M is discontinued: Cisco end-of-sale was October 15, 2017, and support ended October 31, 2022. Cisco service is no longer available for the ME 3600X series. New sealed resale stock retains its physical condition but does not reopen Cisco ordering or restore the ended support period.
ORM Systems offers ME-3600X-24TS-M new sealed with up to 3-year extended warranty, or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Both conditions include 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco service and platform warranty ended October 31, 2022. Refurbished managed units are inspected and bench-tested, with firmware verified and configurations wiped to factory default.
ME-3600X-24TS-M uses Metro IP Access as its base feature set, with ME3600X-I identifying that license option. L-ME3600X-A activates Advanced Metro IP Access for MPLS services, while L-ME3600X-10G activates 10 Gigabit uplinks separately. An embedded Advanced Metro IP Access evaluation lasts 60 days and becomes unusable after a subsequent reload once expired.
Yes, ME-3600X-24TS-M can operate its two fixed SFP+ uplinks at 10 Gigabit after activation with L-ME3600X-10G. Supported optical options include SFP-10G-SR and SFP-10G-LR. The cages also support 1000BASE-X connections, but exclude GLC-T. Specify the uplink license and compatible optics separately when defining the order configuration.
Yes, ME-3600X-24TS-M supports Layer 3 routing under Metro IP Access, including Static, RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS and BGP. The tier supports 20000 IPv4 routes and includes multicast routing. MPLS, EoMPLS and VPLS require Advanced Metro IP Access rather than the base feature set.
The ME 3600X accepts PWR-ME3KX-AC and PWR-ME3KX-DC power-supply and fan modules in its two supply slots. Each power-supply module incorporates three fans. Single-supply configurations use ME-FANTRAY=, while dual-supply configurations provide power redundancy. Specify the supply type and installed quantity explicitly rather than treating the chassis PID as a complete power configuration.
ME-3600X-24TS-M has 24 copper 10/100/1000 access ports, whereas ME-3600X-24FS-M has 24 Gigabit SFP access ports. Both include two fixed SFP+ uplink cages and belong to the discontinued ME 3600X series. The copper model suits maintaining electrical access circuits; the fiber model suits maintaining optical access connections.
ME-3600X-24TS-M occupies 1U and measures 44 mm high, 445 mm wide and 516 mm deep. Normal operation supports 0°C to 50°C at 300 m altitude, derating to 45°C at 1800 m and 40°C at 3000 m. Check cabinet depth, site altitude and ambient temperature before specifying installation hardware.
ME-3600X-24TS-M provides 44 Gbps forwarding bandwidth and a 65 Mpps forwarding rate. The hardware includes a 44 MB packet buffer, 1 GB DRAM and 64 MB flash. These figures describe the copper model; software activation for 10 Gigabit uplinks remains a separate requirement when specifying the operating configuration.
No, ME-3600X-24TS-M is a non-PoE switch and does not power phones or cameras through its 24 copper access ports. Connected equipment needs independent power arrangements. The switch itself uses an internal power-supply configuration, so endpoint power requirements must be specified separately from the chassis power requirements on the purchase order.
