ME-3800X-24FS-M combines 24 Gigabit SFP service interfaces with two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks for Carrier Ethernet aggregation. Its managed Ethernet service baseline supports Layer 2 operation, while separately activated software licenses determine access to routing and MPLS services. The rack-mounted 1U chassis belongs to the ME 3800X family and targets small aggregation sites, remote central offices, and points of presence serving business, residential, and mobile traffic. The Cisco ME 3800X Series Carrier Ethernet Switch Router uses a fixed interface layout rather than a removable uplink card, so the optical interface inventory remains the same across software feature selections. Fiber handoffs terminate directly in the SFP cages; the chassis does not provide fixed copper endpoint access ports.

44 Gbps switching capacity provides forwarding bandwidth for aggregated Ethernet traffic. 65 Mpps forwarding rate supplies a separate packet-processing measure when evaluating the expected traffic mix. The Cisco Carrier Ethernet ASIC applies traffic classification, access controls, and service policies in hardware. Packet buffering totals 352 MB to accommodate traffic arriving at different interface speeds, independently of processor memory. ME-3800X-24FS-M carries 1 GB of DRAM and 64 MB of flash for Cisco IOS operation and software storage. Metro Ethernet Services does not enable dynamic IP routing or MPLS; those capabilities require the corresponding higher feature licenses. Administrative access includes a console connection and remote CLI sessions, with SSH available for encrypted access. SNMP supports inventory and monitoring integration. The ME3800X also provides Generic Online Diagnostics and Onboard Failure Logging for examining hardware behavior and recorded faults, rather than relying solely on interface counters during troubleshooting.
ME-3800X-24FS-M is offered new sealed or certified refurbished, with an ORM warranty of up to a 3-year extended term for new hardware and up to 1 year for certified refurbished hardware; every condition includes 30-day returns, with terms applying. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU status, and fan status, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity, included optics, installed licenses, and power configuration on the purchase order for this switch. For enterprise and volume orders, ORM accepts POs, provides Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, and supports regional stock and RMA requirements across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

When an aggregation purchase combines multiple business-service handoffs, three-level hierarchical QoS provides a basis for differentiated traffic treatment. Interface inventory alone does not establish the required service configuration. Identify the customer policies, classification rules, and scaling requirements, then specify the intended service configuration and associated software entitlements before the purchase order.
When a staging environment must reproduce large-frame Ethernet transport, the ME 3800X supports a configurable 9800-byte MTU for bridging on Gigabit and 10 Gigabit interfaces. Use the production encapsulation and frame profiles in the acceptance plan, then specify the test configuration and required interface accessories before ordering the staging hardware.
When a mobile-backhaul refresh must preserve clock distribution, the ME 3800X accepts timing through its BITS interface and supports Synchronous Ethernet with ESMC and synchronization status messaging. Establish the intended clock source and timing connections before procurement, then include those connection requirements in the hardware and staging scope on the purchase order.
Fixed copper endpoint access ports
ME-3800X-24FS-M has SFP-based service interfaces rather than fixed copper access ports. A requirement for built-in RJ-45 endpoint connections is not met by the base chassis.
Uplink speeds higher than 10G
ME-3800X-24FS-M tops out at 10G on its fixed SFP+ uplinks. Higher native uplink speeds require a different chassis; there is no removable uplink card bay.
Active Cisco manufacturer service coverage
ME-3800X-24FS-M reached Cisco's last date of support on October 31, 2022. Orders requiring active Cisco hardware service cannot use this retired model to meet that requirement.

ME-3800X-24FS-M identifies the Cisco ME 3800X-24FS Carrier Ethernet switch router. The 24FS configuration has 24 Gigabit SFP service interfaces and two 10G SFP+ uplinks. Metro Ethernet Services, Metro IP Services, and Metro Aggregation Services are separate software choices rather than a license tier established by this hardware identifier.
ME-3800X-24FS-M is managed through the Cisco IOS CLI over a console connection, SSH, or Telnet, with SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3 for monitoring integration. Management applications include Cisco Active Network Abstraction 3.7.1 and CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution 3.2. Specify the intended access method and management integration during staging.
ME-3800X-24FS-M is retired: end of sale occurred on October 15, 2017, and Cisco support ended on October 31, 2022. Remaining new inventory and refurbished hardware do not restore Cisco manufacturer service eligibility. Treat the support boundary separately from the condition and commercial coverage included with a reseller order.
New sealed and certified refurbished ME-3800X-24FS-M orders carry separate ORM warranties: up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco warranty and service coverage ended October 31, 2022.
ME-3800X-24FS-M supports Metro Ethernet Services, Metro IP Services, Metro Aggregation Services, and Services Scalability licenses. Metro IP Services adds routing, Metro Aggregation Services adds MPLS features, and Services Scalability expands resources. Activation options include the paper ME3800X-LIC= and electronic L-ME3800X-LIC= paths; confirm the installed entitlements included with the hardware order.
ME-3800X-24FS-M was a replacement option for ME-4924-10GE and WS-C4928-10GE, both of which reached end of sale on February 28, 2013. Those predecessor models are discontinued, and the ME 3800X is also retired. An existing-installation replacement order should preserve the required service interfaces and software feature scope.
ME-3800X-24FS-M has two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, with supported optical choices including SFP-10G-SR and SFP-10G-LR. The uplink cages also support 1000BASE-X operation, excluding 1000BASE-T. Specify the link speed, fiber type, and reach with the transceiver selection rather than treating every SFP-format connection as interchangeable.
Yes, the ME 3800X supports redundant power through two internal module slots using PWR-ME3KX-AC or PWR-ME3KX-DC. When only one supply is installed, ME-FANTRAY= is required in the other slot for cooling. Confirm the installed module inventory on the quote rather than assuming that a redundant pair accompanies the base chassis.
Yes, ME-3800X-24FS-M can run OSPF and BGP with Metro IP Services or Metro Aggregation Services licensing. The routing feature set also includes RIP, EIGRP, and IS-IS. Metro Ethernet Services is the Layer 2 feature set, so a routed-service order must explicitly confirm the appropriate activated license.
The ME 3800X occupies 1U and measures 44 mm high, 445 mm wide, and 516 mm deep, with a chassis weight of 6.57 kg. Verify cabinet depth, mounting support, cable routing, and ventilation arrangements before ordering. The full-width chassis is rack-mounted rather than a compact desktop unit.
ME-3800X-24FS-M provides 44 Gbps forwarding bandwidth and a 65 Mpps forwarding rate. The chassis also has 352 MB of packet buffering, separate from its 1 GB of DRAM and 64 MB of flash. Evaluate bandwidth, packet rate, and buffering separately when checking the intended aggregation traffic profile.
