Fiber Aggregation for Space-Constrained Campus Networks

WS-C4500X-32SFP+ is a managed Layer 3 aggregation switch with 32 fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ interfaces and an optional modular uplink bay for SFP/SFP+ expansion. The non-PoE chassis uses IP Base, front-to-back airflow and a 1U rack-mounted enclosure for campus aggregation. Cisco Catalyst 4500-X provides fiber connectivity rather than powered copper endpoint access. The discontinued WS-C4500X-16SFP+ carries 16 fixed interfaces for lower-density installed configurations.

WS-C4500X-32SFP+ price for new stock is $1,028.99, a 89% saving from the Cisco list price of $9,360.74. WS-C4500X-32SFP+ refurb price is $304.50. WS-C4500X-32SFP+ is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

800 Gbps switching capacity sets the aggregate bandwidth ceiling, while 250 Mpps forwarding supports IPv4 routing and Layer 2 traffic. WS-C4500X-32SFP+ carries 4 GB of memory and 32 MB of shared packet buffering, so burst planning must account for a shared pool. OSPF for Routed Access permits 1000 dynamically learned routes under IP Base; BGP and IS-IS are not included. The hardware's 256K IPv4 forwarding-entry capacity remains distinct from that licensed OSPF limit.

Ordering

ORM Systems offers WS-C4500X-32SFP+ new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year; returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, clean boot, optics bay recognition, module bay recognition and fan status, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the condition and include C4KX-PWR-750AC-R or C4KX-PWR-750DC-R on the PO. Enterprise and volume orders support PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Software entitlement confirmation

WS-C4500X-32SFP+ software quotes must distinguish Cisco ONE Foundation perpetual licensing from Cisco DNA Essentials, DNA Advantage and DNA Premier term offerings. DNA Premier included 3-year terms; verify existing entitlements rather than assuming subscriptions accompany the chassis.

Uplink expansion components

WS-C4500X-32SFP+ port expansion requires C4KX-NM-8SFP+ rather than transceivers alone. Specify compatible SFP/SFP+ optics independently for the added links and confirm that C4KX-NM-8SFP+ is included in the quoted configuration.

Retired chassis purchase scope

WS-C4500X-32SFP+ ended sale October 30, 2020. C9500-48Y4C is the current replacement; Cisco remanufactured WS-C4500X32SFP+-RF is distinct from ORM certified refurbishment and does not restore Cisco hardware support.

Best For

Legacy Aggregation Sparing

An installed estate containing ME-4924-10GE or WS-C4928-10GE may already have standardized on this replacement. Both older models ended sale February 28, 2013. A replacement purchase needs an interface-by-interface review rather than assuming existing optics transfer directly; record current link requirements and software entitlements before the PO.

Paired Chassis Staging

A planned VSS extension requires matching switch models rather than a mixed-model pair. Staging on Cisco IOS XE 3.8.xE requires ROMMON 15.0(1r)SG11; operating-system and boot-firmware versions are separate checks. Specify the same chassis model and confirm both firmware versions before releasing the pair for installation.

Not Suitable If

25G or 100G aggregation links

The fixed interfaces stop at 10 Gigabit Ethernet. C9500-48Y4C provides 48 ports at 1/10/25G and four 40/100G ports, so the current replacement also increases port density.

BGP under the included license

The included IP Base license excludes BGP and IS-IS. Enhanced routing requires Enterprise Services, so a valid upgraded entitlement must be confirmed before using this configuration for those protocols.

PoE delivery to connected endpoints

The SFP+ interfaces do not supply PoE, and the chassis has no powered RJ-45 access ports. Connected endpoints cannot receive operating power through these fiber interfaces.

Questions & Answers

What does the WS-C4500X-32SFP+ part number mean?

WS-C4500X-32SFP+ identifies a Catalyst 4500-X configuration with 32 SFP+ interfaces, 10 Gigabit Ethernet operation and IP Base. WS-C4500X identifies the switch family, 32 indicates the fixed port count, and SFP+ identifies the interface format. This configuration has front-to-back airflow and ships without a power supply.

How is WS-C4500X-32SFP+ managed?

WS-C4500X-32SFP+ supports CLI management over console, SSH version 2 or Telnet, plus a web-based configuration tool, SNMP and XML-PI. Cisco IOS XE 3.11.3aE and later enable SSH by default and disable Telnet by default. Confirm the installed image and remote-access settings before staging.

Is WS-C4500X-32SFP+ end of life?

WS-C4500X-32SFP+ is discontinued, and Cisco hardware support ended October 31, 2025. End of sale occurred October 30, 2020, and vulnerability/security support also ended October 31, 2025. C9500-48Y4C is the current replacement; the older chassis cannot be quoted with active Cisco hardware coverage or continuing security maintenance.

What condition and warranty options does ORM Systems offer for WS-C4500X-32SFP+?

ORM Systems offers WS-C4500X-32SFP+ new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty and certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply. Cisco's original limited lifetime hardware warranty service ended October 31, 2025. Cisco remanufactured WS-C4500X32SFP+-RF is distinct from ORM certified refurbishment.

Which licensing options apply to WS-C4500X-32SFP+?

WS-C4500X-32SFP+ uses IP Base software activation licensing; Enterprise Services requires an upgrade entitlement. Cisco ONE Foundation provided a perpetual bundle, while Cisco DNA Essentials, DNA Advantage and DNA Premier provided separate term offerings. DNA Premier included 3-year terms. DNA term licenses ended sale September 5, 2023; confirm existing entitlements before ordering software.

Which older switches did this Catalyst 4500-X configuration replace?

WS-C4500X-32SFP+ was a replacement option for ME-4924-10GE and WS-C4928-10GE, both of which ended sale February 28, 2013. Those older parts are discontinued, and this replacement has also reached end of support. For a new-generation purchase, the forward migration ends at C9500-48Y4C rather than this older chassis.

Does WS-C4500X-32SFP+ include a power supply?

WS-C4500X-32SFP+ ships without a power supply and has two internal power bays. Front-to-back choices are C4KX-PWR-750AC-R for AC input or C4KX-PWR-750DC-R for DC input. Redundancy requires C4KX-PWR-750AC-R/2 or C4KX-PWR-750DC-R/2; confirm the input type and airflow rather than assuming a populated second bay.

What is the difference between WS-C4500X-32SFP+ and WS-C4500X-16SFP+?

WS-C4500X-32SFP+ has 32 fixed fiber interfaces, while WS-C4500X-16SFP+ has 16. Both models are discontinued, and the 16-port version is not the current migration destination. For like-for-like sparing, the 32-port model matches denser existing aggregation configurations, while the 16-port model serves lower-density installed configurations with fewer fixed connections.

What is the difference between WS-C4500X-32SFP+ and WS-C4500X-40X-ES?

WS-C4500X-32SFP+ includes IP Base, whereas WS-C4500X-40X-ES includes Enterprise Services. IP Base excludes BGP, IS-IS and full EIGRP, making Enterprise Services the relevant entitlement for enhanced routing. Both chassis are discontinued; the IP Base configuration suits existing basic-routing requirements, while the Enterprise Services configuration suits advanced-routing estates with valid entitlements.

What is the difference between WS-C4500X-32SFP+ and C9500-48Y4C?

C9500-48Y4C has 48 1/10/25G interfaces and four 40/100G interfaces, whereas WS-C4500X-32SFP+ has 32 fixed 1/10G cages. C9500-48Y4C is the current replacement rather than another 4500-X variant. The older model suits like-for-like installed spares; C9500-48Y4C suits new-generation aggregation requiring higher speeds and greater fiber port density.
