Cisco - SG500-52P-K9 vs Cisco - WS-C2960S-48LPS-L

[alabastrowa]

Hi,

I have two switches to choose from: Cisco SG500-52P and Cisco - WS-C2960S-48LPS-L

What are the main differences between these devices? Is there anything I should pay attention to?
I'm also wondering if there's anything that Catalyst doesn't have that the Cisco SG500 has in terms of software.

Regards.

the main difference is features and where you looking to deploy.

SG-500 - meant to be used small business switches

Catalyst switches - for Enterprise LAN

i prefer WS-C2960S-48LPS-L - compare to other switch (because of more features).

Thanks for the answer.

Can you list the features that the Cisco - WS-C2960S-48LPS-L has and the Cisco - SG500-52P-K9 switch does not?
