Product overview

The Cisco Catalyst 3110X is an enterprise-grade Gigabit Ethernet switch module designed for IBM BladeCenter chassis environments. This stackable, non-blocking switch delivers 14 internal full-duplex Gigabit ports connecting to blade servers, plus one external 10 Gigabit Ethernet module slot for backbone uplinks using hot-swappable X2 transceiver modules. With 128 Gbps switching fabric and 35.5 million packets per second forwarding rate, it supports advanced QoS, security features, rate-limiting, and ACLs through the IP Base feature set. The module includes 256 MB DDR SDRAM, 64 MB flash memory, and supports jumbo frames up to 9,018 bytes. Ideal for high-performance server environments requiring reliable, scalable connectivity with enhanced fault tolerance through EtherChannel technology.

Frequently asked questions

How many blade servers can the 3110X connect?

The 3110X provides 14 internal full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet ports, with one port dedicated to each blade server in the BladeCenter chassis. This supports up to 14 blade servers with direct connectivity. One additional internal port connects to the management module.

What uplink options does the 3110X provide?

The 3110X features one external 10 Gigabit Ethernet module slot that accepts hot-swappable Cisco X2 transceiver modules. This enables 10 Gb uplinks to backbone switches or routers. The X2 modules must be ordered separately from Cisco resellers.

What is the switching fabric capacity and throughput?

The 3110X delivers 128 Gbps non-blocking switching fabric with 35.5 million packets per second forwarding rate. In a switch stack, throughput reaches up to 64 Gbps, and EtherChannel provides up to 80 Gbps bandwidth between switches, routers, and servers.

What networking protocols and features are included?

The module ships with IP Base feature set including advanced QoS, security features, rate-limiting, and ACLs. Supports IEEE 802.3ae, 802.3u, 802.3ad (LACP), and 802.3x standards. Includes HSRP, RIP-1, RIP-2, and static IP routing protocols for redundancy and failover.

Does the 3110X support jumbo frames?

Yes, the 3110X supports configurable maximum transmission units (MTUs) up to 9,018 bytes for jumbo frames, enabling efficient handling of large data transfers and storage traffic common in virtualized blade environments.

What memory and storage does the 3110X include?

The module includes 256 MB DDR SDRAM for routing tables, MAC tables, and QoS policies, plus 64 MB flash memory. This supports enterprise-scale network management, security policies, and configuration storage.

Can the 3110X be stacked with other switches?

Yes, the 3110X is stackable with two high-speed StackWise Plus connectors. Multiple switches can be stacked to provide up to 64 Gbps aggregate throughput and simplified management through a single control plane.
