Inquiry about the difference between SG and Catalyst switch

We want to buy a managed mini switch for cascading to our C9200L. We want the mini switch can support “spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default” and port security like below for rogue switch cascade.

spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default

switchport port-security maximum 2

switchport port-security aging time 1

switchport port-security aging type inactivity

switchport port-security

 

 

It seems SG series different command sets than Catalyst series, May I know if its following commands are equivalent to those in 2900L?

spanning-tree loopback-guard

port security mode max-addresses |

port security max 2

The configuration for these features are similar but still different. Still, I think that you are addressing this problem completely wrong. You should not choose devices on the presence of the same commands. You should make sure that the devices fits your network. And if you are running Catalyst switches, a small-business device is always different and a PITA that that makes your network more complex and you increase the likelihood for errors because it also behaved differently. Here I would definitely go for another Catalyst like the 2960 or 3560 compact switches.
