The Catalyst 3512 XL switch has 12 10/100 switched ports

and two Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC)-based Gigabit

Ethernet ports, and the Catalyst 3524 XL has 24 10/100

ports and two GBIC-based Gigabit Ethernet ports. The

built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports accommodate a range of

GBIC transceivers, including the Cisco GigaStack

™

GBIC,

and 1000BaseSX and 1000BaseLX/LH GBICs.

The Catalyst 3512 XL and Catalyst 3524 XL are ideal

for desktop connectivity and aggregating a group of Catalyst

2900 series XL or Catalyst 1900 switches. The 12-port

Catalyst 3512 XL offers low port density at a low entry price.

The 24-port Catalyst 3524 XL delivers dedicated 10- or

100-Mbps bandwidth to individual users and servers at the

lowest per port price. The switches’ dual GBIC-based Gigabit

Ethernet ports provide an ultra-flexible and scalable solution

for Gigabit Ethernet uplinks or GigaStack GBIC stacking

solutions. Available in Standard and Enterprise Editions, the

Catalyst 3512 XL and Catalyst 3524 XL switches are

software upgradable, so your investment is protected and

your LAN can grow and evolve with your network

requirements. The switches are easy to deploy, either on a

desktop or in a wiring closet, and feature Cisco IOS

®

software support.

The Catalyst 3512 XL and Catalyst 3524 XL are autosensing 10/100 switches for
creating high-performance LANs. Available in Standard and Enterprise
Editions, the switches provide 12 or 24 10/100 ports and two built-in GBIC-based
Gigabit Ethernet ports with wire-speed performance on all ports

N e w C i s c o S c a l a b l e S t a c k i n g A r c h i t e c t u r e

Cisco Systems, the leader in internetworking solutions,

provides the industry’s most flexible, scalable, and

manageable stacking architecture for Catalyst 3500 series

XL and gigabit-enabled Catalyst 2900 series XL switches.

F l e x i b l e S t a c k i n g

The Catalyst 3500 series XL and gigabit-enabled Catalyst

2900 series XL switches can be stacked using the low-cost

Cisco GigaStack GBIC. The two-port GigaStack GBIC offers

a range of highly configurable stacking and performance

options by delivering 1-Gbps half-duplex connectivity in a

daisy-chained connection or up to 2-Gbps full-duplex

connectivity in a dedicated, switch-to-switch connection.
