WS-C3650-24PDM-E Use Case
Campus Edge PoE+ Deployment with Cisco Catalyst 3650 24-Port Mini
In a university campus environment, IT teams deploy the WS-C3650-24PDM-E Catalyst 3650 24-Port Mini to power Wi-Fi 6 access points and IP security cameras over PoE+ while leveraging 2×10G uplinks for seamless backhaul. The integrated IP Services license enables advanced QoS and Layer-3 segmentation to prioritize voice and video traffic. Outcome: simplified wiring, guaranteed uptime for critical services, and scalable network growth with unified management via Cisco DNA Center.
Branch Office Aggregation with Advanced Routing and High Availability
A multi-location retail chain uses the WS-C3650-24PDM-E to aggregate LAN and WAN links in each branch, leveraging its IP Services feature set for OSPF/BGP dynamic routing across 2×1G and 2×10G uplinks. Redundant uplinks and Cisco StackWise-160 stacking deliver sub-second failover and centralized policy enforcement. Benefit: improved network resilience, consistent security posture, and reduced IT overhead through automated link management and live traffic analytics.
Top-of-Rack Switching for SMB Data Center Virtualization
In a small data center, the Catalyst 3650 24-Port Mini (WS-C3650-24PDM-E) serves as a top-of-rack switch connecting virtualization hosts and SAN/NAS appliances. Dual 10G uplinks aggregate east-west traffic while IP Services enable VXLAN routing for multi-tenant segmentation. Outcome: optimized bandwidth for VM migrations, granular traffic control with Cisco TrustSec, and future-proof expansion with modular uplink flexibility.
