ME-C3750-24TE-MD is a DC-powered, managed Metro Ethernet access switch with 24 Fast Ethernet copper ports, two Gigabit SFP customer-facing ports, and two Gigabit SFP Enhanced Services uplinks. The Catalyst 3750 Metro uses a 1U rack-mount chassis and ships with IP Base, placing the supplied configuration at Layer 2+ rather than full dynamic Layer 3 routing. Its non-PoE access ports carry data but do not power attached endpoints. The discontinued ME-C3750-24TE-MA provides the corresponding AC-powered configuration, an important distinction when matching replacement stock to an existing electrical installation. This configuration serves provider Ethernet handoffs rather than Gigabit copper desktop connections.

32 Gbps switching capacity and an 8.55 Mpps forwarding rate establish the traffic-processing limits for sizing existing service loads. Static routing, RIPv1, and RIPv2 are available with the included image; OSPF requires an additional feature license. ME-C3750-24TE-MD provides 128 MB of DRAM and 32 MB of flash for its operating image and configuration. A 12000-entry MAC table and an 11000-route hardware total establish scale ceilings without extending the software entitlement. Remote administration uses SSH or Telnet, while SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 provide monitoring access; the console supports local CLI administration. Port-based ACLs and router ACLs provide traffic-filtering controls. 110W maximum draw supplies the chassis power figure for allocating the DC feed. The Gigabit interfaces support larger bridged frames than the Fast Ethernet interfaces, so frame-size requirements need to be checked against the intended traffic path.
ME-C3750-24TE-MD is offered new sealed or certified refurbished; Cisco service has ended, while ORM coverage is up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, and optics bay recognition; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition and quantity on the PO before ordering this switch. Enterprise and volume orders can use PO acceptance, government Net-30, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

When an existing Layer 2 Ethernet service depends on customer VLAN separation, Q-in-Q tunneling and VLAN mapping preserve the original service model within the replacement plan. Match the current handoff configuration and identify which interfaces carry customer traffic versus provider traffic before specifying the replacement unit on the PO.
When a lab must reproduce an existing traffic contract, Enhanced Services ports support hierarchical QoS at physical-interface, VLAN, and class levels. Rate limiting operates in 64 kbps increments. Specify the existing policy hierarchy, policing increments, and shaping values before ordering the staging unit for configuration testing.
Gigabit speeds on copper access ports
The 24 fixed copper access ports stop at 100 Mbps; the Gigabit interfaces are SFP-based. A requirement for 1 Gbps on every copper connection excludes this model.
PoE power for attached endpoints
The copper access ports provide data connectivity without PoE output. Phones, access points, or other endpoints requiring power through their network connection need a separate power arrangement.
OSPF with the included software image
IP Base provides static routing and RIP rather than OSPF. OSPF operation requires the separate IP Services entitlement, so the supplied software tier alone does not meet that requirement.

ME-C3750-24TE-MD identifies the DC-powered Catalyst 3750 Metro configuration with 24 copper 10/100 ports, two standard Gigabit SFP ports, and two Enhanced Services SFP ports. ME-C3750 identifies the family, 24 matches the copper-port count, and the MD configuration includes DC power and the standard Metro software image with IP Base functionality.
The Catalyst 3750 Metro supports local console CLI access, remote SSH or Telnet access, and SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 management. Configuration Engine 2100 integration provides another administration path through an external management system. Specify the required administration method and access credentials when preparing the replacement configuration.
ME-C3750-24TE-MD ships with IP Base and supports additional IP Services or Advanced IP feature entitlements. ME3750-IPSVC-LIC= enables IP Services, ME3750-ADVIP-LIC= enables Advanced IP, and ME3750-UPGRD-LIC= upgrades IP Services to Advanced IP. Match the licensed feature set to the required services rather than assuming every routing function accompanies the hardware.
ME-C3750-24TE-MD belongs to the discontinued Catalyst 3750 Metro series, whose Cisco support ended May 28, 2017. The series end-of-sale date was August 29, 2011. A legacy hardware purchase does not restart Cisco service eligibility, so maintenance responsibility and replacement-stock arrangements must be established separately from the hardware order.
ORM Systems offers ME-C3750-24TE-MD new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended coverage on new units and up to 1 year on refurbished units. Returns are 30 days on either condition; terms apply. Cisco's original 1-year hardware warranty is no longer active; series support ended May 28, 2017.
ME-C3750-24TE-MD has 24 fixed copper 10/100 ports and four Gigabit SFP positions, divided into two standard ports and two Enhanced Services ports. The copper connections do not provide Gigabit access speeds. Identify the customer-facing and provider-facing interfaces separately when matching an existing configuration to replacement hardware.
ME-C3750-24TE-MD supports GLC-T, GLC-SX-MM, GLC-LH-SM, GLC-ZX-SM, GLC-BX-D, and GLC-BX-U transceivers, subject to the installed Cisco IOS release. Transceiver selection must match the existing connection and software compatibility requirements. Specify the exact transceiver PID rather than treating every module that fits an SFP cage as interchangeable.
The Catalyst 3750 Metro occupies 1U in a standard equipment rack and measures 43.9 mm high, 445 mm wide, and 373 mm deep. The DC configuration weighs 5.49 kg. Confirm rack depth, cable access, mounting hardware, and the available DC feed before specifying the installation materials.
ME-C3750-24TE-MD supports OSPF through IP Services and BGP and MPLS through Advanced IP, rather than through its included IP Base entitlement. IP Base provides static routing, RIPv1, and RIPv2. Advanced IP also includes IP Services capabilities, so the required service set determines which additional entitlement is necessary.
ME-C3750-24TE-MD uses DC power, while ME-C3750-24TE-MA uses AC power; both provide the same basic copper and SFP port arrangement. Both configurations are discontinued. For legacy replacement requirements, the DC model matches sites with an appropriate DC feed, while the AC model corresponds to an AC-powered installation.
