This switch runs VSS.
So it leverages the 6500 tech in a small form factor.
It comes in two form factors.
16 ports = WS-C4500X-16SFP+
and
32 ports = WS-C4500X-32SFP+
The above can be upgraded by getting an 8 port Uplink Module.
So far it is nice.
But they also have bundles.
WS-C4500X-16SFP+ This is a front to back, 16 ports, IPBase
WS-C4500X-24X-IPB This is a front to back, 16 + 8 port module, IPBase
WS-C4500X-24X-ES This is a front to back, 16 + 8 port module, Enterprise Services
WS-C4500X-32SFP+ This is front to back, 32 ports, IPBase
WS-C4500X-40X-ES This is front to back, 32 + 8 port module, Enterprise Services
For back to front
WS-C4500X-F-16SFP+ back to front, 16 ports, IPBase
WS-C4500X-F-32SFP+ back to front, 32 ports, IPBase
None of the above have Power Supplies.
So you just add them.
