3560x or 3750x for Core switching

[David Kondicz]

Hi,

i cant find any difference in these two devices when i am trying to compare throughput.

I need upgrade our new POP and there will be around 4900 MAC adresses in VLAN 150 and 130 MAC adresses in vlan 200.

Uplink is 1 gig routed internet connection and there is 14 downlinks to separate villages.

i found a few differences for eg stack interface on 3750x but i dont need it.

What do you think, which will be the best solution?

May i think about 2960s too for this situation? Or it is better to forger about it?

Thanx

BR

Dave,

The only difference between the 2 is stacking on the 3750 series.

As for your 14 downlinks, are you using fiber or copper?  If you need fiber, there is 3750X with 24 port fiber SFPs that you use.

Performance wise, they are identical.  As Reza noted, the 3750X supports stacking while the 3650X does not.

The 2960S series is principally L2, although the later IOS images support limited routing.

For a POP, you might also want to look at the MetroEthernet Series such as the 2600X, 3600X or 3800X.
