Arie -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Drew Weaver Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2008 16:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [c-nsp] Few questions regarding fixed vs modular and when which isbetter. What is the 'defacto' top of rack 10/100/1000 48 port access switch most folks are buying up these days from the big C? Does anyone recommend any lower cost 10/100/1000 switches from other vendors that 'work just fine' for this limited purpose? These 48 port switches would just be used to connect machines to VLANs (over uplink/trunks) which are on the distribution/core layer. If you have the right server/client density does it ever make sense to use a 6513 for the l2 connectivity or is it always better to use sep. switches? It seems like using 11 sep. switches would add a lot of management headaches over just having a redundant 6500 (pwr/sup) does anyone have any opinions/advice on this point?
