Cisco doesn't want to sell 2960 series anymore and they made that perfectly clear to me over the past couple of years. I ended up switching to Juniper EX gear in places I had been deploying 2960's previously. The EX3400 lineup is better priced than the newer Cisco stuff, and imho a better value ove

I'm looking to replace some access switches (Cisco Catalyst 3750 and 3560G). I really just need L2 features (stacking, PoE+, VLAN). I've found a 2960X that I like, but Cisco is pushing their 9200 series. The only downside I see is that the 9200s look to all have Layer 3 features. I've always shied
