I'm not clear on what you're asking: Is a $100,000-$500,000 switch worth it for 50MBps of Internet traffic? Retail price on a single Sup-II + MSFC2 + PFC2 is just about $40,000. Add in power supplies, fabric modules, chassis and blades - price goes up quickly.
Do you need the redundancy or would a 7200 series router or 3550 switch work? >>> "sisco" 09/09/02 01:32AM >>> Is this worth it tobe a core L3 Switch?? what else you guys could recommend?..i got 50meg local traffic(internet)! many thanks!
