No. The WS-C3850-24T-S is a data-only model and does not deliver PoE or PoE+ capabilities.
Which uplink modules are compatible with this switch?
It supports Cisco 1G SFP (GLC-SX, GLC-LX) and 10G SFP+ (SFP-10G-SR, SFP-10G-LR) optics in its four service-module bays.
What stacking technology does the Catalyst 3850 support?
Cisco StackWise-480 delivers up to 480 Gbps of stacking bandwidth per switch, supporting stacks of up to nine 3850 units with single-point management.
What features are included in the IP Base license?
IP Base provides advanced Layer 2 switching, basic Layer 3 static and RIP routing, IPv6 support, QoS, security ACLs and Cisco TrustSec integration.
Can I upgrade from IP Base to IP Services on the WS-C3850-24T-S?
Yes. You can purchase a Cisco Catalyst 3850 IP Services license (LIC-C3850-IPSERVICES=) to activate OSPF, EIGRP, BGP and multicast routing.
What is the forwarding performance of this switch?
The WS-C3850-24T-S delivers up to 101.9 Mpps packet forwarding rate and a switching capacity of 176 Gbps in full-duplex mode.
How much memory does the Catalyst 3850 24T-S have?
It includes 4 GB of DRAM, 4 GB of flash memory, and an integrated dual-core CPU for high-performance control plane processing.
What power supply options are available?
It ships with an internal fixed 715W AC power supply and supports optional Cisco RPS 2300 or 675W redundant power supplies (RPS-675-48WR-EU=).
How do I manage the WS-C3850-24T-S switch?
You can manage it via Cisco IOS CLI, web-based GUI (Cisco Device Manager), SNMP v2/v3, NetFlow-Lite, or Cisco Prime Infrastructure.
Does the switch support redundant power and fans?
The unit supports redundant external power via Cisco RPS devices; fans are hot-swappable but the switch lacks an integrated redundant fan tray.

Cisco has announced end-of-sale for Catalyst 3850 in late 2023; support continues through the defined End of Software Maintenance (EoSM) date.
How do I configure stacking on the 3850?
Install Cisco StackWise cables in the StackWise ports, power on all switches, and the IOS automatically elects a stack master; use 'switch stack-member priority' to influence mastership.
Can the WS-C3850-24T-S be used in high-availability environments?
Yes. With StackWise-480, redundant power via Cisco RPS and Cisco IOS features like NSF/SSO, it delivers seamless failover and minimal service disruption.
