WS-C3560E-12SD-E is a Layer 3 fiber aggregation switch with 12 Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports, two fixed 10G X2 uplinks and the IP Services software image. The non-PoE, rack-mount 1U chassis sits in the Cisco Catalyst 3560-E family, connecting fiber-fed access switches rather than directly supplying endpoint power. The discontinued WS-C3560E-12SD-S retains the same interfaces but uses IP Base for basic routing. The Catalyst 3560E-12SD configuration combines internal power redundancy with redundant C3K-FAN-16CFM= cooling modules. That hardware arrangement matters when matching a replacement unit to an existing aggregation installation and its installed accessories.

128 Gbps switching capacity defines the switching fabric available to aggregated traffic, while 47.6 Mpps forwarding describes processing for 64-byte packets. OSPF, EIGRP and BGPv4 provide advanced IPv4 unicast routing; PBR supports policy-directed forwarding, and PIM-SM, PIM-DM, SSM and PIM-SDM cover multicast requirements. Resource allocation changes with the selected memory template: maximum MAC scale is 12000 entries, while maximum IPv4 unicast route scale is 11000 entries. Those maxima represent different allocations and should not be treated as simultaneous limits. WS-C3560E-12SD-E uses 128 MB of DRAM for its running environment and 64 MB of flash for stored software. Administrators can use the Cisco IOS CLI, Cisco Network Assistant for graphical configuration, or CiscoWorks LMS for network-level administration. The dedicated Ethernet management connection and RS-232 console separate device administration from forwarding ports. Hardware switch stacking is not supported.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560E-12SD-E new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, every port links at rated speed, optics bay recognition is checked, firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition, optics and power-supply inclusion before issuing the PO. ORM warranties are up to 3-year extended for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco service and hardware warranty ended January 31, 2018. Enterprise and volume orders support PO acceptance, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA across UK, EU, US and MEA.

When an installed fleet needs like-for-like spare equipment, separate C3K-PWR-300WAC-equipped units from C3K-PWR-300WDC-equipped units before allocating stock. C3K-PWR-300WAC and C3K-PWR-300WDC each carry a 300W rating, but their input arrangements differ. Record the required power-supply PID and installed quantity explicitly on the purchase order.
When a lab must reproduce a legacy aggregation design, the 1000-SVI ceiling gives the configuration a defined size boundary. Prepare the intended VLAN interfaces and retained configuration before bench validation rather than treating the chassis as an unrestricted router. Specify the required configuration scale and staging condition before the purchase order.
Active Cisco service coverage
WS-C3560E-12SD-E passed its last date of Cisco support on January 31, 2018. C9300-24S is the current migration destination and increases the fiber port count to 24.
PoE-powered copper endpoint connections
WS-C3560E-12SD-E has no fixed RJ-45 access ports or PoE output. Phones and access points needing switch-delivered power require a separate powered access switch rather than this fiber aggregation chassis.
Native SFP+ uplink optics
WS-C3560E-12SD-E uses X2 interfaces for its 10G uplinks, so SFP+ transceivers cannot be inserted directly. Existing SFP+ inventory requires a different native interface or different optics.

WS-C3560E-12SD-E identifies a Catalyst 3560-E switch: WS-C3560E is the family prefix, 12 is the SFP port count, S denotes SFP interfaces, D identifies the two 10G X2 uplinks, and the final E selects IP Services. The configuration is fiber aggregation without PoE output.
The Catalyst 3560-E supports the Cisco IOS CLI through its RS-232 console or remote SSHv2 and Telnet sessions, plus graphical administration through Cisco Network Assistant and network-level management through CiscoWorks LMS. SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 provide monitoring paths. SSHv2 and encrypted SNMPv3 require a cryptographic software image.
WS-C3560E-12SD-E has two fixed 10G X2 uplink slots, not native SFP+ uplinks. X2-10GB-SR= and X2-10GB-LR= are compatible 10G transceiver options. CVR-X2-SFP converts one X2 interface into two Gigabit Ethernet SFP interfaces. Match the chosen interface and transceiver to the link before ordering.
WS-C3560E-12SD-E includes the IP Services feature license in a shared Cisco IOS image. The Catalyst 3560-E family also uses IP Base and Advanced IP Services feature sets, selected by an installed license file. Advanced IP Services is a separate upgrade from IP Services; verify the supplied unit's activated entitlement.
WS-C3560E-12SD-E supports OSPF, EIGRP and BGPv4 under IP Services, together with static routing, RIPv1 and RIPv2. PBR controls forwarding by policy, while PIM-SM, PIM-DM, SSM and PIM-SDM support multicast routing. These capabilities make the supplied software image Layer 3 rather than a static-routing-only feature set.
The Catalyst 3560-E supports 12000 MAC entries or 11000 IPv4 unicast routes at its respective maximum allocations, with resource selection controlled by memory templates. Those figures are not simultaneous maxima. WS-C3560E-12SD-E also supports 1000 SVIs, so configuration size and template selection must be checked together.
WS-C3560E-12SD-E uses two redundant internal power supplies and accepts C3K-PWR-300WAC or C3K-PWR-300WDC, each rated 300W. AC, DC and mixed power configurations are supported. Redundancy depends on the required supplies and feeds being present, so state the power-supply PID and population when specifying the unit.
No, WS-C3560E-12SD-E does not support hardware switch stacking. The chassis operates as a standalone switch rather than joining a shared forwarding stack. Cisco Network Assistant can administer multiple devices, but that graphical management function does not create a hardware stack or provide a stacking connection between these chassis.
WS-C3560E-12SD-E reached end of sale on January 30, 2013, and its last date of Cisco support was January 31, 2018. The original successor, WS-C3750X-12S-E, and its successor, WS-C3850-12S-E, are both discontinued. The current migration destination at the end of that chain is C9300-24S.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560E-12SD-E new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 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 Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty, or 90-day coverage for purchases before May 1, 2009, ended January 31, 2018.
WS-C3560E-24PD-E provides 24 copper Gigabit Ethernet PoE ports, whereas WS-C3560E-12SD-E provides 12 Gigabit SFP ports without PoE output. Both models are discontinued. The former matches legacy powered copper access requirements; the latter matches legacy fiber aggregation, so specify the installed interface type rather than substituting on port count alone.
WS-C3560E-12SD-E includes IP Services, whereas WS-C3560E-12SD-S includes IP Base with basic routing. The hardware port configuration is the same, and both PIDs are discontinued. The E variant fits legacy requirements for OSPF, EIGRP and BGPv4; the S variant fits configurations restricted to its basic routing feature set.
WS-C3560E-12SD-E's Cisco service ended January 31, 2018, while C9300-24S is the current fiber migration destination. The replacement chain passes through the discontinued WS-C3750X-12S-E and WS-C3850-12S-E. Choose the legacy unit for like-for-like sparing; evaluate C9300-24S when the purchase requires an ongoing Cisco support path.
