Cisco SX350X next gen? | True or LAG stacking?

[JavierSD]

Hi all, i was searching for a medium range reliable switch with true stacking ports and the Cisco SX350X series caught my attention. Sadly is obsolete now and near it´s eol, i was wondering... is there any new model with this feature or are they all using LAG stacking and if so, is LAG stacking an upgrade to true stacking?

Best regards,

Javier.

There is no replacement available for the Cisco SX350X and SX550X Stackable Managed Switches in China (Select Models) at this time.

So either you need to move to Meraki switches or Cat 1K switches.

Cat 1K

thanks for your response @balaji.bandi that was exactly what i was searching for, i think MS350-24-HW is going to be the one. Hopefully i´ll get the budget approved.

Would i need any other license besides LIC-MS350-24-3YR?

[balaji.bandi]

that should be ok if you looking for 3 Year - for Long term take advantage of 5 years License also (for cost saving if you able to negotiate with sales people - so 5 years peace of mind)

Datasheet for reference (i am sure you may have read it)

I would also look at the CBS series of switches:
