Ten GBIC-based Gigabit Ethernet slots and two 10/100/1000 ports make up the WS-C3550-12G, a Cisco Catalyst 3550 Series switch. It is a Gigabit Ethernet aggregation model, and Cisco orders the 3550-12G with the Enhanced Multilayer Software Image (EMI) only.
As a Gigabit configuration it provides dynamic IP routing at 17 Mpps. In the default template the 3550-12G and 3550-12T hold 6K unicast MAC addresses, 12K unicast routes and 6K multicast routes, with 1K VLANs and 16 routed ports and SVIs. RIPv1/v2, OSPF, IGRP, EIGRP and PIM are the supported routing protocols.
Fiber and stacking options for the GBIC slots are the WS-G5484 1000BASE-SX (multimode, up to 550 m), WS-G5486 1000BASE-LX/LH (single-mode, up to 10 km), WS-G5487 1000BASE-ZX (single-mode, up to 70 km) and the WS-X3500-XL GigaStack GBIC.
A related model is the WS-C3750G-12S-S 12-port SFP switch, and more Catalyst products sit in Cisco switches.
