WS-C4506-S2+96 Cisco 4500 Switch

A defined legacy bundle rather than an empty chassis

WS-C4506-S2+96 is a Cisco Catalyst 4506 bundle. The exact ordering row lists one 1000AC power supply, one Supervisor II-Plus and two WS-X4148-RJ line cards. These inclusions distinguish it from the bare WS-C4506 chassis, whose ordering description excludes power supplies.

Understand what the ninety-six access ports represent

Cisco identifies WS-X4148-RJ as a forty-eight-port 10/100 RJ-45 module. Two such cards provide ninety-six Fast Ethernet access ports; this count must not be advertised as ninety-six Gigabit or PoE ports. Check endpoint speed and power requirements before treating this legacy bundle as a direct replacement for a newer access switch.

Confirm the actual supervisor and power inventory

The S2+ order refers to Supervisor II-Plus, not Supervisor IV or II-Plus-10GE. Inspect the quoted component list against the exact bundle and installed software. The documented single power supply does not establish a redundant electrical configuration; any additional supply and its compatibility require separate confirmation.

Use the historical lifecycle notice with its contract qualification

The Non-E-Series notice includes this exact bundle and gives July 31, 2010 as end of sale and July 31, 2015 as the last support milestone. Both dates have passed. The notice separately qualifies existing paid contracts through their termination dates, so verify any claimed entitlement directly rather than assuming current manufacturer coverage. Plan migration according to the required interfaces and features.
