WS-X4748-SFP-E Use Case

High-Density Campus Network Aggregation with 10GE Uplinks

In a multi-building enterprise campus, the WS-X4748-SFP-E Supervisor Engine II+10GE in Catalyst 4500 aggregates 48 fiber-connected access switches and delivers dual 10 GbE X2 uplinks plus 4 × 1 GbE SFP ports for core connectivity. Hardware-accelerated QoS and advanced Layer 3 services ensure low-latency voice/video and secure inter-VLAN routing. Outcome: streamlined distribution layer, 50% faster application delivery and scalable support for up to 10 000 users.

Virtualized Data Center Aggregation and East-West Traffic Optimization

In a virtualization-driven data center, the WS-X4748-SFP-E aggregates 48 1 GbE server links and uplinks to the core over dual 10 GbE X2 ports, enabling wire-speed east-west VM migration and inter-host communication. Integrated hardware-based security, VLAN segmentation and multicast optimize multi-tenant compliance and high-performance computing. Outcome: up to 40% improvement in VM migration throughput, sub-millisecond latency and simplified DevOps provisioning.

Metro Ethernet Edge for Business-Critical WAN Services

Service providers deploying Metro Ethernet rely on the WS-X4748-SFP-E in Catalyst 4500 to terminate up to 48 customer fiber circuits and trunk aggregated traffic over 2 × 10 GbE X2 uplinks to the backbone, with 4 × 1 GbE SFP ports for OAM and management. MPLS, advanced QoS and hardware resiliency deliver carrier-grade SLAs. Outcome: five-nines availability, rapid service turn-up and scalable growth without forklift upgrades.
