    Cisco WS-C4948E Overview

    The Cisco WS-C4948E is an enterprise-class Layer 3 switch engineered for high-performance data center and campus aggregation. With 48 × 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and 4 SFP uplinks, it delivers 96 Gbps switching capacity and 72 Mpps forwarding for latency-sensitive applications. Hardware-accelerated ACL/QoS, 16 MB shared buffer, and a 32,000-entry MAC table ensure stable performance under heavy east–west traffic. Robust IPv4/IPv6 routing and advanced multicast make the WS-C4948E a reliable choice for demanding enterprise networks.
