In terms of reliability and maintenance, the WS-C4948-10GE-S is designed with redundancy in mind. It supports hot-swappable power supplies, ensuring continuous operation even during maintenance or failure of a power unit. Furthermore, the switch includes features such as port security, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and Storm Control, which protect the network from unauthorized access and potential attacks.
