Hello, I have around 250 devices, which will be divided to 5 different vlans.
I have already chose this two devices as core/distribution
N3K-C3048TP-1GE
WS-C3650-24PD-L
to this core/distribution switches there will be connected access switches SG350-28MP-K9-EU
I´m not sure if N3k could be used as core switch and if it is not a lot for this small industry?
What do you think, which of two above mentioned switches (distribution/core) will be better for this industry?
Thanks for help

Hi there,
I would inclined to use the 3560 as the core switch. A Nexus DC switch is excessive for 250 devices!
As for the access-layer maybe opt for an SG250, as a more Layer2 switch than the SG350 it should come in cheaper. Something like a SG250-24HP.
If cost was a big factor, maybe even put a SG350 as your core switch.
cheers,
Seb.
