3750V2-24PS	24 Ethernet 10/100 ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE) and 2 SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports; 1 RU
3750V2-48PS	48 Ethernet 10/100 ports with PoE and 4 SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports; 1RU
3750V2-24FS	24 Ethernet 100FX SFP ports and 2 SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports; 1 RU; Transceivers are optional and not included with the base switch

Cisco Catalyst 3750 V2 Software

The Cisco Catalyst 3750 v2 Series can be purchased with the IP Base or IP Services license preinstalled.

The IP Base license offers advanced quality of service (QoS), rate limiting, and access control lists (ACLs), and basic static and Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and OSPF routing functions.

The IP Services license provides a richer set of enterprise-class features, including advanced hardware-based IP unicast and IP multicast routing as well as policy-based routing (PBR). The Advanced IP Services license, which includes IPv6 routing and IPv6 ACL support, is now included in the IP Services license. Upgrade licenses are available to upgrade a switch from the IP Base license to the IP Services license.

Cisco Catalyst 3750 V2 Series-Cisco EnergyWise& Power over Ethernet

We mentioned that Cisco Catalyst 3750 v2 Series supports Cisco EnergyWise, which is a technology that enables monitoring, reporting, and management of energy consumption by end devices that are EnergyWise enabled. This technology enables companies to reduce their energy costs and carbon footprints. EnergyWise features enable you to:

• Discover all Cisco EnergyWise enabled devices on the network

• Monitor and report power consumption by these devices

• Implement business rules to control power to these end devices

Power over Ethernet: The Cisco Catalyst 3750 v2 Series can provide a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for deployments that incorporate Cisco IP Phones, Cisco Aironetwireless LAN (WLAN) access points, or any IEEE 802.3af-compliant end device.

PoE eliminates the need for wall power outlets for each PoE-enabled device and significantly reduces the cost for additional electrical cabling that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and WLAN deployments.

The Cisco Catalyst 3750 v2 24-port PoE switch can support Class 3 PoE or 15.4 watts (W) of PoE power on all 24 ports. Taking advantage of Cisco Catalyst Intelligent Power Management, the Cisco Catalyst 3750 v2 48-port PoE configurations can deliver the necessary power to support 24 ports at 15.4W, 48 ports at 7.7W, or any combination in between. Maximum power availability for a converged voice and data network is attainable when a Cisco Catalyst 3750 v2 Series Switch is combined with the Cisco RPS 2300 for protection against internal power supply failures and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system to safeguard against power outages.
