Replacing Cisco 3560G series

[5y5tadmin]

Hi,

Currently we have Cisco Switch 3560G series(WS-C3560G-24TS) for our main core switch. It is the only switch that do more works then the others. For example giving the IP DHCP Pool for our wireless and etc. Due to increasing in our main system, can you suggest any layer 3 switch that can replace it? This switch will able to stand the workload effectively and have a redundancy.

Looking forward for your reply.

Thank you.

Consider either the Cisco 3650 or 3850.

What is the main difference between WS-C3650-24TD & WS-C3850-24T-S?

If you would choose, which want would you prefer?

TD has a pair of 10Gbe ports.  TS only has Gigabit ports.

[5y5tadmin]

but the TS will have an optional network module right? which can be bought the 10G, right?

How about the TD, is it already attach to that switch?

If redundancy is a real issue consider a stacked pair of Cisco 3850's.
