FAN-T1=, Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series Replacement Fan

The Cisco Catalyst Series C3650 is equipped with a fan that enhances the switch’s performance. This model facilitates comprehensive visibility for both wired and wireless traffic through the Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) tunnel termination. Such capabilities allow for user identification and monitoring of traffic flows, enabling proactive measures against potential security threats at the access layer. The switch employs Flexible NetFlow (FNF) to track every flow entering and exiting the stack, which is critical for identifying top wired and wireless users and enforcing bandwidth policies. Advanced QoS features are also present, utilizing the Cisco modular QoS command line interface (MQC) to manage wireless bandwidth effectively. Hierarchical bandwidth management begins at the access point level and extends down to individual users and SSIDs, ensuring fair distribution of available bandwidth. Moreover, the UADP ASIC supports automatic bandwidth allocation among users on the same SSID, enhancing the overall network experience. The switch is capable of implementing class of service (CoS) and differentiated services code point (DSCP) based queuing and traffic management, allowing for unified policies across both wired and wireless traffic. Additionally, it supports downloadable policy names via the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), streamlining user authentication processes.
