RE: why use 6500 switch?

If you ask a Cisco sales person, you should ALWAYS buy a 6500. :)

Honestly though, there's a very robust product line. Look at what features
you NEED for your design and go from there. Look at things you would LIKE
for the future, and that may help as well.

Don't forget that the 4500 is also a modular chassis with good options and
port density. Just not quite as broad (nor as expensive) as the 6500.

If you are just looking for plain-old ethernet ports, I'd start looking at
stacking the smaller devices (3750).

Buy what you can afford, what solves your needs, and what makes your life
easier in the long run. Or, buy whatever you can squeeze past the
accountants!

Hi group,

I have question that fills my mind for a while.

when should I offer to buy 6500 for a project?

according to cisco Core,distributed and access layer model ,we have not a
place for extra high density port switch like 6500,

according to that thus we should use 6500 for other purposes? like its
specific cards?

thanks

Sirus MGH
