What is the different between CBS350 and C1300?

[Mahmoud Marie]

Hello,

Please need to know the different between C350 "C350-48T-4X" & C1300 "C1300-48T-4X"

Any recommendation which one should I go for

Thanks

 - The most important thing to note is that the "C1300-48T-4X" is one of the successors of the CBS350 series , so you should go for it 'always' ,

Hi,

   CBS350-48T-4X is EOL, and C1300-48t-4X is the replacement, see the announcement here: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/business-350-series-managed-switches/business-350-series-switches-mod-eol.html

   Didn't have a change to work with the new model, however looking at the data sheet of both models, there's nothing: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/business-350-series-managed-switches/datasheet-c78-744156.html

   Go with the newest model if you buy now, you can also take a look on the comparison of C1300 models:

Nice Theories but not the Practice .... The Interoperability between CBS350 ant C1300-Catalyst-Series is not given ...

[Karsten Iwen]

Can you elaborate on this? Why should they not be interoperable? I am pretty confident they play nice with each other, same as all generations before.

Or are you talking about stacking? Stacking is only supported inside a product line, which is quite common with some exceptions.

BTW, @ARIEH_GmbH has also replied to another CBS350<>C1300 mentioning major (?) interoperability issues but without any details.  So, as in my reply to that other post too, additional information would be appreciated.
