Cisco Catalyst 4900 Series Switches deliver
high-performance, low-latency wire-speed Layer 2 and 3 services in a small form
factor (1 or 2 rack units). The 4900 Series is ideal for space-constrained
deployments.
The Cisco Catalyst4948E offers forty-eight 10/100/1000-Gbps RJ45 downlink ports and four 1/10
Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports and is designed to simplify data center
architecture and operations by offering enterprise-class hardware and software
in a one-rack-unit (1RU) form factor optimized for smart top-of-rack (ToR) data
center deployments.
The Cisco Catalyst
4948E offers:
• Twice the uplink
capacity of the previous switch generation
• 1+1 power supply
and fan redundancy for hardware replacement with no downtime
• Strict
front-to-back cooling with no side or top venting
• Large shared packet
buffers for microburst protection
• Nonblocking
internal packet switching for east-to-west traffic patterns
• Full set of Layer 2
and 3 forwarding features
• Outstanding
multicast performance
• Zero-touch
provisioning with Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager (EEM)
• Advanced quality of
service (QoS)
• IP Version 6 (IPv6)
switching and routing in hardware
• Extended MAC
address tables to enable server virtualization

Cisco IOS Software
The Cisco Catalyst 4948E
supports three levels of Cisco IOS Software, summarized in Table 2. The basic
level is LAN Base, developed for deployments that require data center - class
hardware along with Layer 2 switching. The next level of software is IP Base;
most customers will deploy this level of software because it offers many of the
value-added Cisco features that provide operational consistency and
an easy-to-manage environment. The top level of software is Enterprise
Services. Enterprise Services adds support for advanced routing protocols such
as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Intermediate
System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), and Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing
Protocol (EIGRP).
