I want to know WS-C4948 spec

 Hi cisco. I'm a Korean engineer.

I want to know WS-C4948 specifications.

After I read a datasheet, I recognized that WS-C4948 had 3 options ( WS-C4948-S,E,(blank) )

In the datasheet, shows below contents.

-S : IP Base software image(RIP, static routes)

-L : Enterprise Services software image (IPX, AppleTalk, OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS,BGP)

blank : optional software image

Among them, I am wondering (blank)'s content, optional software image,  what is this real meaning.

I think that optional software image may become -S or -L whatever I upgrade -S or -L image. RIGHT?

Thank you for reading my word.

plz contact..

The "blank" variation is a 4948 with the LAN Base image. That means primarily only Layer 2 features. Table 7 of the product data sheet describes exactly what is not included in the LAN Base image.

In any case, these switches have been End-of-Sales since August 2013.

Thank you for replying for my question!

I read the datasheet you applied.

WS-C4948-S is also IP-BASE...

I am wondering if it is right ? (WS-C4948-S equal WS-C4948 )

Please contact me...

No. the WS-C4948 (with no letter at the end) is LAN Base - the basic Layer 2 switch software image and capability.

It can be upgraded to IP Services (-S) or Enterprise (-E) with an optional image which requires purchase of a license to be entitled to use it.
