The Cisco Catalyst C1300-48T-4G is a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet managed switch designed for small and medium-sized businesses. Unlike its "P" (PoE) variant, this model does not have Power over Ethernet capabilities on its RJ45 ports. The "-IN" in the model number typically indicates it is a version designated for the Indian market.

Key Features and Specifications

• Ports: It features 48 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps) ports and 4 Gigabit SFP slots. The SFP ports are designed for fiber uplinks, allowing for long-distance connections to the core network or other switches.

• Performance: The switch has a switching capacity of 104 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 77.38 Mpps, which enables it to handle high-traffic loads and ensure smooth data flow.

• Management: The C1300-48T-4G is a Layer 3 managed switch. This means it can be configured for advanced networking functions like VLANs, routing protocols (e.g., RIP, OSPF), and advanced security features. It can be managed through a web-based interface, the Cisco Business mobile app, or the Cisco Business Dashboard for centralized management.

• Security: It includes a comprehensive suite of security features to protect the network. These include 802.1X authentication, port security, IP Source Guard, and Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) to prevent unauthorized access and various network attacks.

• Design: The switch has a rack-mountable form factor and a fan for cooling, making it suitable for a standard network rack. It is also designed to be energy-efficient, with support for the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standard.
