Information About WS-X6148E-GE-45AT
The Cisco WS-X6148E-GE-45AT is a high-density 48-port Gigabit Ethernet interface expansion module for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches. Designed to support both data connectivity and Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), it is ideal for enterprise campus and branch access layer deployments requiring reliable, scalable, and power-enabled network expansion.
Key Features:
- 48-Port Gigabit Ethernet Access:
Provides 48 autosensing 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, offering flexible connectivity for a wide range of client devices such as desktops, printers, and IP phones.
- PoE and PoE+ Support:
Delivers IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+) power to connected devices, with support for up to 30W per port on 45 ports simultaneously—ideal for powering access points, VoIP phones, and security cameras.
- Chassis Compatibility:
Fully compatible with Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series chassis, integrating seamlessly with supported Supervisor Engines and benefiting from the platform’s high scalability and advanced feature set.
- Layer 2 and Layer 3 Capabilities:
Supports standard Layer 2 features such as VLANs and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), along with Layer 3 routing when paired with an appropriate Supervisor Engine, enabling flexible deployment scenarios.
- Hot-Swappable Module Design:
Can be inserted or replaced without powering down the chassis, ensuring continuous operation and simplified maintenance during upgrades or expansions.
- QoS and Security Features:
Includes per-port QoS mechanisms for traffic prioritization and congestion management. Supports security features such as port security, DHCP snooping, and dynamic ARP inspection to protect access networks.
- Centralized Management:
Managed via Cisco IOS Software through the Supervisor Engine, providing a unified interface for configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
The WS-X6148E-GE-45AT is a versatile and cost-effective expansion module built for high-density Gigabit access with robust PoE+ capability. Its combination of scalability, power delivery, and Cisco IOS integration makes it a reliable solution for converged campus networks seeking to support voice, video, and data with efficiency and resilience.
