L3 Devices comparision

[Mohammed Ashraf Ali]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to build a redundent network, at my office,

We have SG300 52 and 24 Port devices , so my manager is asking to use those as L3 Device, as Core switch to do the job of Inter Vlan routing and Default and static routing to reach my Firewall(gateway).

I have recomended to buy C3750 series of switches , as they can be stacked and can be used in redundency.

If i compare both the models,

Features	SG300 -52	C3750-24
Ram	128MB	256MB
Forwarding Rate	77.38 mpps	65.5 mpps
Redundency(failover)	NA	Using StackCable

There could be lot of features which keeps  C3750 ahead,

So i request all the professional , to pls put some light on why C3750 should be prefered on SG300 models.

pls add your valuable comments...........

Regards,

Ashraf

Hi Ashraf

SG-300 is a small business switch created for small companies and if you plan to install few switches - you can select them.

Cat3750 are more advanced - support much more features than SG serier, very extendable and allow to build scalable networks.

If your network will grow - would be better to use 3750.

HTH,
