Guys,

Can someone recommend me the Switch model which i can use at access layer to support 10G connectivity for my Server.

HI there,

A 3850 with a C3850-NM-2-10G o C3850-NM-4-10G  module.

If you want the NM-4-10G you need to pick a  48-port  3850.

Any other model apart from 3850 Series as 3850 is quite expensive for my customer.

OK, the 2960X can support up to two SFP+ interfaces per chassis:

..or perhaps cheaper is a SG350X which on some models has up to four SFP+ interfaces:

This depends on the whole requirement: one 10G server or a lot of them, in a Data Centre or a small office. Generally, aggregation of 10G servers works well on Nexus 93180 for SFP-based access or Nexus 93108 for copper-based access.

Hope this helps.

Customer only requiremnt is that is should be cheaper than 3850 series and customer need around switch which can support between 12-24 ports having 10G capability.

12-24 SFP+ ports and cheaper than a 3850? I don't this is possible.

Maybe a WS-C4500X-24X?

If your customer just wants a Cisco logo and low price I don't think you'll get 24 SFP+ ports cheaper than on a SG350XG-24

cheers,
