Eight egress queues per port for wired traffic and four egress queues for wireless help enable differentiated
management of different traffic types across the stack for wired traffic. Up to 2000 aggregate policers are
available per switch.
Application Visibility and Control Using Flexible NetFlow
Cisco IOS Software FNF is the next generation in flow visibility technology, allowing optimization of the network
infrastructure, reducing operation costs, and improving capacity planning and security incident detection with
increased flexibility and scalability. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 provides optimized application visibility with FNF
across wired plus wireless. The switch is capable of up to 48,000 flow entries on 48-port models and up to 24,000
flow entries on 12-port and 24-port models across wired plus wireless. With UADP ASIC, Cisco Catalyst 3850
delivers next-generation flow technology with unprecedented flexibility and comprehensive visibility extending from
Layer 2 (MAC and VLAN) to Layer 4 (TCP/UDP) flags and so on across wired plus wireless traffic. The Cisco
Catalyst 3850 switch is Medianet capable to provide visibility and troubleshooting capabilities across wired plus
wireless video traffic. Specific Medianet features will be enabled in future software updates.
The flow data collected by FNF can be exported to an external collector for analysis and reporting or tracked by the
EEM. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 enables powerful on-box and customizable event correlation and policy actions with
EEM, allowing the switches to trigger customized event alarms or policy actions when the predefined condition is
met. With no external appliance required, customers are able to use existing infrastructure to perform traffic
monitoring, making traffic analysis economical even on a large IP network.

High-performance video over wireless integrates Cisco VideoStream technology to optimize the delivery of video
applications across the WLAN.
Wired plus wireless IP telephony supports unified communications for improved collaboration through messaging,
presence, and conferencing and supports all Cisco Unified Communications wireless IP phones for cost-effective,
real-time voice service.
Deployment Options
Campus
In a campus-type deployment, operating the Cisco Catalyst 3850 in the mobility agent mode and centralizing the
mobility controller functionality in a WLC 5760, WLC 5508, or WiSM2 helps achieve better scalability and
performance. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 provides CAPWAP termination for access points, uniform policy
enforcement for wireless clients, better wireless bandwidth, and uniform Cisco IOS Software-based configuration
and monitoring for wired plus wireless features. The mobility controller provides central mobility, RRM, and
CleanAir coordination.
