WS-CBS3110X-S-I connects IBM BladeCenter servers through 14 internal Gigabit Ethernet downlinks and an external X2 uplink position supporting 10G Ethernet. This managed, non-PoE switch module installs inside a compatible blade enclosure rather than operating as a standalone rack switch. The Catalyst Switch Module 3110 series combines enclosure-based server connectivity with Cisco IOS and an included IP Base license. Its fixed X2 interface determines the external connection format; native SFP+ optics do not install directly into that position. The discontinued WS-CBS3110G-S-I instead provides four external copper Gigabit uplinks, distinguishing the two configurations for maintenance purchases. Cisco Catalyst Switch Module 3110X for IBM BladeCenter also supports physical stacking through dedicated connections separate from the server and uplink interfaces.

128 Gbps switching capacity and 35.5 Mpps forwarding performance define the switching fabric and packet-processing limits. Static routing, RIP, EIGRP Stub and PIM Stub provide the included routing capabilities; full OSPF and BGP require a higher software feature set. WS-CBS3110X-S-I carries 256 MB of DRAM and 64 MB of flash for software operation and image storage. Resource allocation depends on the selected Switch Database Management template: the maximum 12000-entry MAC configuration and 11000-route IPv4 configuration use different templates and must not be treated as simultaneous limits. Four egress queues per port support traffic classification and scheduling, while LACP supports link aggregation. Management paths include a browser-based device manager, Cisco Network Assistant, SNMP and the Cisco IOS CLI through console, Telnet or SSH; SSH requires the cryptographic software image. Cooling and operating power come from the blade enclosure rather than independent switch power supplies.
ORM Systems offers WS-CBS3110X-S-I new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year; returns cover every condition for 30 days, with terms applying. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, every port linking at rated speed, module bay recognition and stack adapter negotiation, with firmware verified and configurations wiped to factory default. Specify this switch's condition, quantity and required connection hardware on the purchase order. Enterprise and volume orders accept POs, with Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement.
| Key Specs | Key Spec Values |
|---|---|
Operating System | Cisco IOS |
License Tier | IP Base |
Port Configuration | 14x1G internal / 1x10G X2 uplink position |
Stacking | StackWise Plus / 9 members |
Max Power Draw | 45W |
Cooling | Enclosure-provided cooling |
When adding WS-CBS3110X-S-I to an existing blade-switch stack, confirm that every member belongs to the supported switch type rather than assuming other blade switches can join. Add or remove members with power off, and verify the resulting stack connections before approving the expansion purchase.
When staging a blade-server network before a maintenance window, the 9018-byte maximum MTU provides a specific jumbo-frame boundary to test against the intended server configuration. Include uplink interoperability and boot checks in the staging plan, then specify the required image and connection hardware before the PO.
When replacement inventory must cover UK, EU, US and MEA locations, ORM Systems provides regional stock and RMA handling across those regions. Separate the spare quantities by destination and required condition instead of treating the order as one undifferentiated shipment; confirm those requirements before the PO.
IBM BladeCenter S enclosure installation
WS-CBS3110X-S-I supports BladeCenter E, T, H and HT enclosures, but not BladeCenter S. An installation in BladeCenter S requires different switch hardware.
Direct installation of SFP+ uplink optics
WS-CBS3110X-S-I uses an X2 uplink position rather than native SFP+ cages. A connection requiring direct SFP+ installation needs a different physical uplink interface.
Full OSPF with the included license
The included IP Base feature set does not provide full OSPF routing. OSPF requires IP Services activation rather than the standard licensed configuration.

WS-CBS3110X-S-I identifies the Cisco Catalyst Switch Module 3110X for IBM BladeCenter with IP Base. The 3110X model is the configuration with an X2-based 10G Ethernet uplink. The complete ordering identifier distinguishes this IBM BladeCenter switch module from the copper-uplink configuration within the same series.
WS-CBS3110X-S-I supports a browser-based device manager, Cisco Network Assistant, SNMP and the Cisco IOS CLI through console, Telnet or SSH. SSH requires the cryptographic software image. IBM BladeCenter management also participates in initial IP setup, so enclosure management access should be available during installation.
WS-CBS3110X-S-I belongs to Cisco's retired IBM switch-module product line, and Cisco support has ended. Existing units can remain maintenance inventory, but purchasers should not treat this hardware as an actively supported Cisco deployment. Replacement stock and the reseller's service arrangements need separate consideration when ordering.
ORM Systems offers WS-CBS3110X-S-I new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty, or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original platform warranty was 90 days, and Cisco service for this retired hardware has ended.
WS-CBS3110X-S-I includes IP Base and supports 3110-IPS-LIC-I for IP Services or 3110-AISK9-LIC-I for Advanced IP Services. IP Services adds advanced unicast and multicast routing, while Advanced IP Services adds IPv6 routing. Feature activation depends on the license file, not merely the installed universal software image.
WS-CBS3110X-S-I has 14 internal 1000BASE-X server downlinks and one external 10G Ethernet module position. A separate internal 100BASE-T management connection and two StackWise Plus connections serve management and stacking. The internal server links are enclosure connections, not external RJ-45 access ports for ordinary copper endpoint cabling.
The Catalyst Switch Module 3110X supports X2-10GB-SR=, X2-10GB-LRM= and X2-10GB-CX4= for its external 10G connection. Select the transceiver to match the intended optical or copper connection. Units supplied with CVR-X2-SFP need their installed uplink hardware confirmed before a 10G transceiver is specified.
A Catalyst Switch Module 3110 StackWise Plus stack supports nine members operating as a unified system under a stack master. Other types of blade switches must not be mixed into that stack. Member additions and removals require attention to power state, stack cabling and the resulting stack configuration.
WS-CBS3110X-S-I includes static routing, RIP, EIGRP Stub, PIM Stub and HSRP through IP Base. Full OSPF, BGP and broader multicast routing belong to IP Services rather than the included feature set. Match the required routing functions to the activated license before treating the module as a replacement.
WS-CBS3110X-S-I provides an X2-based 10G uplink, whereas WS-CBS3110G-S-I provides four external 10/100/1000BASE-T uplinks. Both models are discontinued IBM BladeCenter switch modules. The X configuration suits maintenance of existing X2-connected installations; the G configuration matches installations that require the original copper Gigabit uplink arrangement.
The Catalyst Switch Module 3110X cannot operate as a standalone desktop switch because it installs inside a compatible IBM BladeCenter enclosure. The module measures 30 mm high, 112 mm wide and 260 mm deep. Operating power and cooling depend on the enclosure rather than a separate desktop power arrangement.
WS-CBS3110X-S-I supports a maximum of 12000 MAC entries or 11000 IPv4 unicast routes under different resource templates. Those maxima are not simultaneous: the VLAN template favors MAC capacity, while the routing template favors routes. The 11000-route total includes directly connected hosts and indirect routes rather than only one subset.
