Replacement of Cisco 6800IA Switches with Parent Switch 6807

[Deepak Kumar]

Hi All,

As we know that Cisco 6800IA has declared EOL and EOS. We want to replace the Cisco6800IA with replacement model and Cisco guide has mentioned as go with Catalyst 3K/4K models. I found one guide there is mentioned 

The Instant Access workflow requires a single catalyst 6500-E or 6800 switch as a parent and C3560CX-12PD-S, or C3560CX-8XPD-S compact switches as clients

Means those models are only 8 port and 12 ports. I am looking for 48 Port switches as client switch. Please help me to choose the client Switch model number. 

Regards,

Deepak Kumar

Hi Deepak,
There's no way to get brand new unit.
Another alternative method is to go via Cisco Refurbish (they're now called Cisco Refresh).

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I know that there is no way to get brand new switches but I asked for the new support Switch model number as IA client switches in the 3K/4K catalyst switches.

Instant Access was a failed experiment. This was what our SE told us.
