Cisco Catalyst 3850 24-Port GE SFP IP Services | Layer 3 Enterprise — CON-DSNTP-WS6524SS

Keep critical campus traffic moving with a switch built for routed access and aggregation. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 24 Port GE SFP IP Services brings 24 Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports into a platform designed for enterprise networks that need more than basic switching. With IP Services licensing, it supports the Layer 3 capabilities required for segmented environments, dynamic routing, and policy-driven traffic handling. This model fits teams standardizing on fiber uplinks or access designs where copper is not the right answer. It is a strong choice for distribution closets, building aggregation, and network segments that must stay predictable under load. Cisco Catalyst 3850 platforms are known for operational consistency, which matters when the cost of downtime is measured in lost productivity and support escalations. For infrastructure teams, the value is in control. You get a switch class that can anchor a campus design, support routed boundaries, and integrate into Cisco-managed environments with familiar operational workflows. Compared with lower-tier access switches, this configuration is aimed at networks that need more routing intelligence, cleaner segmentation, and a longer service life in production. Ideal For Fiber-based campus access switch deployment Building aggregation for routed enterprise networks Distribution closet switch for segmented VLAN environments Network refresh where IP Services routing is required Why This Product 1 More routing capability than basic Layer 2 access switches 2 Fiber-first design with 24 SFP ports 3 IP Services licensing for enterprise network control 4 Built for campus access and aggregation, not consumer networking
