If you don't need it; skip it, maybe even look at the 295x or 296x platform unless you possibly need POE as well - the "2"s don't support it. But the ability to team/etherchannel servers via LACP and use BOTH teamed links at the same time instead of single links due to spanning-tree blocking is a great thing. It is one reason GLBP is not available on the 3750s - its not needed to get load balanced routing either.
Just think of the 3750s as baby VSS-6500s or Nexus 7Ks :) _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
