the catalyst 3560 switch can be deployed as a backbone switch, aggregating 10base-t and 100base-tx ethernet traffic from other network devices. see the switch software configuration guide for examples showing how you might deploy the switch in your network.

    these are the switch features:

    1 fast ethernet

    1.catalyst 3560-24ps switch—24 10/100 power over ethernet (poe) ports and 2 small form-factor pluggable (sfp) module slots

    2.catalyst 3560-24ts-s—24 10/100 ports and 2 sfp module slots

    3.catalyst 3560-48ps switch—48 10/100 poe ports and 4 sfp module slots

    4.catalyst 3560-48ts-s—48 10/100 ports and 4 sfp module slots

    2 gigabit ethernet

    1.catalyst 3560g-24ps switch—24 10/100/1000 poe ports and 4 sfp module slots

    2.catalyst 3560g-24ts switch—24 10/100/1000 ports and 4 sfp module slots

    3.catalyst 3560g-48ps switch—48 10/100/1000 poe ports and 4 sfp module slots

    4.catalyst 3560g-48ts switch—48 10/100/1000 ports and 4 sfp module slots

    3 the switches support these sfp modules:

    1.1000base-sx

    2.1000base-lx

    3.1000base-zx

    4.1000base-t

    5.100base-fx

    6.coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (cwdm)

    when installed in catalyst 3560 switches, 1000base-t sfp modules can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 mbps in full-duplex mode or at 10 or 100 mbps in half-duplex mode.

    1 these switches support the sfp module patch cable. (order the sfp module patch cable separately, part number cab-sfp-50cm=.)

    2 configuration

    1.for 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports, the speed and duplex settings are autonegotiated.

    2.for 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports, poe settings are autonegotiated.

    3.for 1000base-t sfp module ports, the speed and duplex settings are autonegotiated.

    3 switches are hot-swappable.

    4 power redundancy

    connection for optional cisco rps 675 that operates on ac input and supplies backup dc power output to the switches.
