WS-C3650-48TD-E Use Case
Enterprise Campus Aggregation with WS-C3650-48TD-E for Multi-Building Connectivity
In a multinational corporate campus, the WS-C3650-48TD-E (Cisco Catalyst 3650 48 Port Data 2x10G Uplink IP Services) serves as a high-density aggregation switch. Deployed in each building’s comm-room, it terminates 48 Gigabit Ethernet access links and uplinks via dual 10G SFP+ to the core. Leveraging IP Services for OSPF/BGP routing, advanced QoS and multicast, it ensures deterministic application performance across voice, video and data. Outcome: Simplified campus fabric, sub-millisecond convergence, and scalable multi-site growth.
Data Center Top-of-Rack (ToR) Leaf Deployment for East-West Traffic Optimization
In a mid-sized data center, the WS-C3650-48TD-E functions as a Top-of-Rack leaf switch, aggregating 48 server NICs and forwarding traffic over dual 10G uplinks to spine switches. With IP Services license, it supports dynamic routing (VXLAN EVPN, OSPF), hardware-based VXLAN tunneling and granular QoS policing. Benefit: Maximized east-west throughput, sub-10 μs latency, and seamless workload mobility for virtualized and containerized environments.
Converged Branch Office Solution with Advanced Security and QoS
For a regional branch office, the WS-C3650-48TD-E delivers a unified platform for data, voice and video. It provides 48 RJ-45 data ports to workstations and IP phones, plus 2x10G uplinks to the SAN/firewall. Enabled by IP Services, it enforces policy-based segmentation (VRF Lite), role-based access control (Cisco TrustSec) and class-based QoS for VoIP and video conferencing. Outcome: Hardened branch security, guaranteed voice quality and centralized management via Cisco DNA Center.
