WS-C3508G-XL-EN Cisco Catalyst 3508G XL, 8 gigabit interface converter
(GBIC) ports
The Catalyst WS-C3508G-XL-EN eight-port stackable Gigabit Ethernet switch is
a member of the Cisco Systems Catalyst 3500 Series XL, a scalable line of stackable
10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet switches that delivers excellent performance, manageability,
and flexibility.
The Catalyst WS-C3508G-XL-EN switch features eight Gigabit Interface Converter
(GBIC)-based 1000Base-X ports and a 10-Gbps switching fabric. These features
make this switch ideal for either high-speed wiring closet stack aggregation
or a distribution layer Gigabit Ethernet aggregation switch. The Catalyst WS-C3508G-XL-EN
aggregates a group of 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet switches and Gigabit Ethernet
servers through Cisco GigaStack GBICs or standard 1000BASE-X GBICs. The switch
is easy to deploy, either on a desktop or in a wiring closet, and features Cisco
IOS� software support. Administration of the Cisco desktop Catalyst switches
is made even more convenient via the Cisco Cluster Management Suite (CMS) Software.

Cisco WS-C3508G-XL-EN Product Details
- Eight GBIC-based Gigabit Ethernet ports deliver up to 5-Gbps aggregated
forwarding bandwidth to a switch cluster
- 10-Gbps switching fabric and 7.0 million packets-per-second forwarding rate
- 4 MB shared-memory architecture ensures the highest possible throughput,
with a design that eliminates head-of-line blocking, minimizes packet loss,
and delivers better overall performance in environments with extensive multicast
and broadcast traffic
- Full-duplex operation on all ports delivers up to 2-Gbps on 1000Base-X ports
- Dual-priority forwarding queues on each Gigabit Ethernet port through IEEE
802.1p protocol enable prioritization of mission critical and time sensitive
traffic from data, voice, and telephony applications
- Trusted extension settings allows the switch to set trusted port settings
for the PC port on Cisco IP phones, ensuring voice traffic receives highest
priority
- Bandwidth aggregation up to 4 Gbps through Gigabit EtherChannel technology
enhances fault tolerance and offers higher-speed aggregated bandwidth between
switches, and to routers and individual servers
- A configurable network port supports unlimited MAC addresses for backbone
connectivity
- GigaStack GBIC delivers a low-cost hardware-based, independent stack bus
with up to 1-Gbps forwarding bandwidth in a cascade configuration (up to nine
Catalyst 3500 XL or gigabit-enabled Catalyst 2900 Series XL switches) or 2-Gbps
forwarding rate in a point-to-point configuration
- GBIC-based Gigabit Ethernet ports give customers a choice of 1000Base-T,
1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX/LH, 1000Base-ZX, or Cisco GigaStack GBICs to fit
their connection needs
- Per-port broadcast, multicast, and unicast storm control prevents faulty
end stations from degrading overall systems performance
