We are doing a long overdue redesign of our network as part of a voip implementation, hopefully ending up with a collapsed core w/routed access layer. A consultant has proposed the 4507 as access switches and a pair of 3750-E switches as the core. The 3750-E seems a strange choice to me for a few reasons and I'm thinking a pair of 4900M or 4503 switches would be a better fit looking forward.
We are a smaller shop (7 access switches including the datacenter) with 100Mb desktops and a mix of 100/1000 for servers. Switch-to-switch trunks are 1Gb. The number of access switches is very unlikely to change and we could, in the future move to a 10Gb. The 4900M solution would save a non-trivial amount over 4503 with Sup6. Is there anything glaringly wrong with choosing the 4900M using twin-gig based connections to the access layer over the 4503 Sup6 and 46xx line cards in our situation? ~Jason _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
