WS-C3560E-12D-E is a managed Layer 3 fiber aggregation switch with twelve fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet X2 interfaces and the IP Services software image. Its rack-mount 1U chassis belongs to the Catalyst 3560-E family and connects fiber-linked access infrastructure rather than directly powering endpoint devices. The discontinued WS-C3560E-24PD-E provides powered copper access ports instead, making the interface requirement the first distinction between these legacy models. Cisco Catalyst 3560E-12D uses fixed X2 slots rather than an empty uplink-card bay, so the quoted configuration needs to identify the transceivers required for the intended connections. Native X2 interfaces must not be mistaken for direct-fit SFP+ cages.

128 Gbps switching fabric describes the internal fabric rating; the twelve-port configuration has 60 Gbps aggregate forwarding bandwidth with 2:1 oversubscription, so traffic concurrency requires separate sizing. 90 Mpps forwarding specifies packet-processing throughput for 64-byte packets rather than nonblocking operation across every interface. OSPF, EIGRP, BGP4, PIM, and PBR provide dynamic unicast, multicast, and policy-based forwarding under the installed tier. WS-C3560E-12D-E carries 256 MB DRAM and 64 MB flash, separating runtime resources from software-image storage. The maximum IPv4 unicast total reaches 20000 routes with the corresponding resource allocation; indirect routes are a subset, not the complete capacity. Administrative options include the Cisco IOS CLI, Cisco Network Assistant, CiscoWorks LMS, and SNMP. A dedicated Ethernet management interface and RS-232 console support out-of-band administration. Internal redundant power supplies and redundant fans provide component-level resilience, but hardware switch stacking is not supported.
ORM Systems supplies WS-C3560E-12D-E in new sealed and certified refurbished condition; 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 the required condition, licensed image, power configuration, and transceiver quantities on the purchase order. ORM coverage is up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Enterprise and volume orders support PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock/RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

When an installed network retains Gigabit fiber links during a staged speed migration, CVR-X2-SFP= TwinGig converters provide two Gigabit Ethernet SFP connections from an X2 interface. Treat each link's converter and SFP requirements separately, and specify the fiber type, remote interface, and populated converter quantity before the purchase order.
A routed aggregation replacement that must preserve many VLAN interfaces needs interface-scale planning before configuration transfer. The switch supports 1000 SVIs, but interface count alone does not establish that every routing and security requirement fits. Specify the intended VLAN-interface count, resource allocation, and configuration acceptance checks before the purchase order.
When a lab must reproduce an existing aggregation configuration before a maintenance change, maximum frame size becomes an acceptance criterion rather than a generic port-speed check. Jumbo frames reach 9216 bytes. Include the intended frame size, connected-device settings, and traffic-validation plan in the staging requirements before placing the purchase order.
Power delivery to endpoint devices
WS-C3560E-12D-E has no powered copper access ports. Endpoints requiring power from their network connection cannot receive that power directly from this fiber aggregation switch.
Hardware stacking under one control plane
WS-C3560E-12D-E does not support hardware switch stacking. A requirement for dedicated stack connections and a shared stack control plane falls outside this model's capabilities.
Nonblocking traffic across every 10G interface
WS-C3560E-12D-E has 2:1 oversubscription. Simultaneous full-rate traffic across all twelve 10G interfaces exceeds its aggregate forwarding design, so concurrent traffic must be sized before selection.
Current generation aggregation replacement
WS-C3560E-12D-E belongs to a retired series. C9500-24Y4C is the current migration endpoint after the discontinued WS-C4500X-16SFP+ and C9500-16X; replacement engineering must review interfaces, power, and licensing.

WS-C3560E-12D-E identifies a Catalyst 3560-E switch with twelve 10 Gigabit Ethernet X2 interfaces and IP Services software. WS-C3560E identifies the family, 12 identifies the interface count, D identifies this model's 10G X2 configuration, and the final E selects IP Services rather than IP Base.
The Catalyst 3560-E supports Cisco IOS CLI administration, Cisco Network Assistant, CiscoWorks LMS, and SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 management. A dedicated Ethernet management interface and RS-232 console provide out-of-band access. Cisco Network Assistant supplies graphical configuration, while the CLI provides detailed control over the installed switch configuration.
WS-C3560E-12D-E belongs to the retired Catalyst 3560-E series, not a current switch family. The migration chain leads through the discontinued WS-C4500X-16SFP+ and C9500-16X to C9500-24Y4C. Treat a legacy replacement and a current-generation migration as separate purchases requiring interface, power, software, and configuration review.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560E-12D-E new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original warranty was a 90-day limited hardware warranty; the series is retired.
WS-C3560E-12D-E comes with the IP Services tier, with software activation controlling the available functions. IP Base is the lower tier; Advanced IP Services adds IPv6 routing and IPv6 ACLs. Specify the required entitlement and installed image explicitly rather than treating the hardware PID as permission to activate another software tier.
WS-C3560E-12D-E accepts 10G X2 transceivers, including X2-10GB-SR=, X2-10GB-LR=, X2-10GB-ER=, X2-10GB-LRM=, X2-10GB-LX4=, and X2-10GB-CX4=. Select the transceiver for the installed cabling and remote interface. Native X2 slots are not SFP+ cages, so an existing SFP+ optic must not be specified as a direct-fit module.
Yes, WS-C3560E-12D-E supports two internal redundant power supplies, with C3K-PWR-300WAC= and C3K-PWR-300WDC= available for AC and DC configurations. Confirm the supplies included in the quoted unit and specify the site's power requirements. External redundant-power hardware is not required for this model's internal supply redundancy.
No, WS-C3560E-12D-E does not support hardware switch stacking. The Catalyst 3560-E operates as a standalone switch, even when network management tools administer several devices together. A deployment requiring dedicated stack connections and a shared stack control plane must not treat ordinary Ethernet links as a substitute for stacking hardware.
WS-C3560E-12D-E has no PoE access ports, while WS-C3560E-24PD-E provides twenty-four powered copper access ports. Both are discontinued models, so the distinction matters for matching an installed design or maintaining legacy spares. The former serves fiber aggregation; the latter serves endpoints that receive power over Ethernet.
WS-C3560E-12D-E supplies IP Services, whereas WS-C3560E-12D-S supplies IP Base on the same twelve-port 10G X2 configuration. IP Services adds full OSPF, EIGRP, BGP4, and PIM routing beyond the basic tier. Both belong to a retired series; match advanced legacy routing requirements to the former and basic configurations to the latter.
WS-C3560E-12D-E is retired, while C9500-24Y4C is the current migration endpoint after the discontinued WS-C4500X-16SFP+ and C9500-16X. Replacement engineering must review interfaces, power, licensing, and configuration rather than assume a direct substitution. The legacy switch fits existing-equipment sparing; the current endpoint belongs in a separately engineered replacement purchase.
WS-C3560E-12D-E provides 90 Mpps forwarding for 64-byte packets, with 60 Gbps aggregate forwarding bandwidth and 2:1 oversubscription. Its 128 Gbps switching-fabric rating is a separate measure. Do not interpret the fabric figure as a guarantee of simultaneous nonblocking traffic across all twelve 10G interfaces; size traffic concurrency before ordering.
Yes, the Catalyst 3560-E 12D is a full-width rack-mount 1U switch measuring 44.5 mm high, 445 mm wide, and 495 mm deep, with a published weight of 10.7 kg. Allow for rear power connections and airflow when checking rack depth, and include mounting hardware in the quoted equipment configuration.
Yes, the Catalyst 3560-E supports Gigabit SFP connections through the CVR-X2-SFP= TwinGig converter, which provides two Gigabit Ethernet SFP interfaces from an X2 interface. Specify the converter and compatible SFPs for each intended link. This is a conversion configuration, not a native SFP cage built into the twelve-port chassis.
