Cisco Catalyst 3850 Overview:

Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series multigigabit and 10-Gbps network switches provide a seamless integration of wired and wireless connectivity, offering scalability and safeguarding your investments. This integration is facilitated by the robustness of the new, 480 Gbps Cisco StackWise and Cisco StackPower technologies.

The Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switch family offers over 30 models, including variants with LAN Base, IP Base, and IP Services software. Additionally, there are MultiGigabit and 10G SFP+ options available.

To utilize a Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switch as a wireless controller, customers must acquire either the IP Base or IP Services software model.

For LAN Base models, the StackPower functionality requires a separate purchase of a StackPower cable.

Cisco Catalyst 3850 Features:

Each Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch/stack can operate as the wireless controller in two modes:

• Mobility Agent (MA): This is the default mode in which a Cisco Catalyst 3850 switches ships. In this mode, the switch is capable of terminating the CAPWAP tunnels from the access points and providing wireless connectivity to wireless clients.

• Mobility Controller (MC): In this mode, the Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch can perform all the mobility agent tasks in addition to mobility coordination, Radio Resource Management (RRM), and Cisco Clean-Air coordination within a mobility subdomain. The mobility controller mode can be enabled on the switch CLI.

• With mobility agents located in the wiring closets providing 40 Gbps of wireless per 48-port Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 switch (n x 40 Gbps for a stack of n switches) and mobility controllers managing some of the central wireless functions, the converged access-based wireless deployment provides best-in-class scalability for wireless and significantly improved wireless throughput.
