The Cisco Catalyst 6800ia (Instant Access) C6800IA-48FPD-R is a specialized member of the Catalyst family designed to simplify campus network management. By utilizing “Instant Access” technology, these switches act as remote line cards for a Cisco Catalyst 6500 or 6800 series backbone, allowing you to manage a massive distribution and access layer as a single logical entity.
SKYRS Pakistan is the leading provider of these high-density PoE+ solutions, catering to large-scale institutional and corporate networks across the country.
The C6800IA-48FPD-R is built for power-heavy environments, supporting high-density Wireless Access Points, IP Cameras, and VoIP phones.
| Feature | Specification |
| Total Ports | 48 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet Ports |
| Uplink Ports | 2 x 10G SFP+ Fixed Uplinks |
| PoE Support | Full PoE+ (802.3at) on all 48 ports |
| PoE Power Budget | 740W |
| Redundancy | Dual Redundant Power Supplies (Internal) |
| Stacking | StackWise-80 (Up to 3 switches per stack) |
| Management | Centralized via Catalyst 6500/6800 Core |
SKYRS maintains stock of various 6800ia configurations to match your specific power and density requirements:
C6800IA-48FPD-R: 48 Ports, Full PoE+ (740W), Dual Redundant Power.
C6800IA-48TD-R: 48 Ports, Data Only (Non-PoE), Dual Redundant Power.
C6800IA-48FPDR-RF: Certified Refurbished units for budget-conscious infrastructure.
C6800IA-STACK-KIT: Stacking modules for expanding port density at the access edge.
Deploying an Instant Access switch is different from a traditional standalone switch, as it requires a “Parent” switch (Catalyst 6500/6800).
Parent Connection: Connect the 10G SFP+ uplinks of the C6800IA-48FPD-R to the 10G ports on your Cisco Catalyst 6500/6800 backbone.
Mounting: Standard 1RU rack mounting. Ensure proper grounding in Pakistani environments where electrical surges may occur.
Redundancy: Ensure both power cables are connected. The “-R” variant features dual power supplies to prevent downtime during a PSU failure.
Stacking: If using multiple units at a single site, use StackWise-80 cables to create a single management unit before connecting to the parent core.
The beauty of the C6800IA-48FPD-R is that it has no local console configuration; all management is done through the “Parent” switch.
From the Core switch (Parent), verify that the 6800ia client is recognized:

You configure the ports on the IA switch as if they were local line cards on the core switch:
