The Cisco WS-C4900M is a high-performance, modular Layer 3 switch designed for enterprise aggregation and core environments requiring scalable, low-latency 10 Gigabit and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Featuring 2 modular half-card slots, this system supports up to 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports or 24 10-Gigabit fiber ports, depending on configuration.
This unit includes 6 x CVR-X2-SFP modules for 1Gbps SFP use and 4 x Cisco X2-10GB-SR optics for 10Gbps MMF uplinks, delivering excellent flexibility for mixed network environments. A WS-X4920-GB-RJ45 module adds 20 Gigabit RJ-45 ports for high-density copper connectivity. Powered by dual 1000W redundant power supplies, the WS-C4900M ensures high availability in critical deployments.
With 320 Gbps switching capacity, hardware-based IPv6 support, and Cisco IOS Layer 3 features, this switch is ideal for network aggregation, data center access, and high-speed routing applications.
