If money were not an issue, I would purchase the new WS-C3550-48-EMI @ $7790 list with a street price of about $5800. This switch has full HW based IP & multicast routing, supports all the major routing protocols, is only 1U high and has two GBIC slots.

[7:37737] If money was not an issue, which 48 port Cisco switch would you implement for general purpose (branch offices, access switch connecting to distribution layer, etc.) The main differences of course are that the 2948 is set based and the 3548 is IOS based, and the switch fabric for the 2948 (24 Gbps vs 10 Gbps) is higher than for the 3548? Any thoughts on this? Thanks. Audy Bautista Network Engineer, IT Services Hold Brothers On-Line Investment Services, Inc.
