Cisco WS-C3750X-12S-S Network Switch
A switch is one of the most important hardware in the subject of computer networks. By using a switch, you can connect different devices in your network to each other, and through the switch, these devices can exchange different information (data) in packet format. In addition, switches have the ability to communicate between several networks. Network switches are produced by different brands, among which Cisco brand switches are more popular than other brands. The reason for the best-selling Cisco switches is the high useful life and security of these hardware, and the switch we are reviewing is also from the Cisco brand.

The switches differ from each other in terms of capabilities and features, and each one is designed for a specific purpose and application. These features include PoE capability, stack capability, SFP port, etc., and the Cisco 3750X 12SS switch has SFP port and stack capability, which we will explain briefly about these 2 features.
Stacking and SFP port on 3750X 12SS
What is stack capability?
In a computer network, there may be more than 1 switch, and managing and configuring several switches at the same time is difficult, time-consuming, and requires a lot of labor. Cisco offers the solution of stacking switches for this problem. By using switches with port stack, you can connect several switches to each other by a special cable and then use them as a single switch. Cisco switch WS-C3750X-12S-S also has this golden feature. The most common method of connecting switches in stacking is the ring method, in which the switches are connected to each other in order, and finally, the first and last two switches are connected to each other to create a ring. (like the picture above)
What is the SFP port and what is its use?
The SFP port is actually a modular port that, with this switch port, will be able to connect to all types of fiber and Ethernet cables at different speeds. That is, this port provides you with an input for all kinds of cables. As we said earlier, Cisco’s 12-port 3750x 12ss switch also has this port.
