Cisco Systems WS-C4500X-24X-IPB Catalyst Switch

The Cisco WS-C4500X-24X-IPB is a fixed‑configuration Catalyst 4500‑X Series switch that delivers 24 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet for dense enterprise aggregation. It runs Cisco IOS Software IP Base, providing baseline routing and feature support for standard campus and data‑center deployments. The unit uses front‑to‑back cooling and ships without power supplies; power supplies must be configured and installed to complete the setup. The model is compatible with the C4KX‑NM‑8SFP+ eight‑port 10GE network module for expanded uplink density. Cisco’s data sheets describe WS-C4500X‑24X‑IPB as a 24‑port 10GE IP Base option in the Catalyst 4500‑X lineup, designed for fixed‑architecture deployments requiring dense 10GE connectivity. Enterprise Services upgrade licensing is available for this platform, enabling advanced features if needed. Typical deployment scenarios include enterprise data‑center access and campus aggregation, where high‑throughput 10GE connections are required.
