RE: New Blueprint - Can Anyone Think of a Need for the "E"

Scott,

I am not sure if it is inside information that they will be using the 3560 E
Series but I find it surprising if that is the case. They are going with
1841's which are about as cheap as it gets. I find it unlikely they would
then use 3560-E's with the 1841's. On Cisco's post it says

Catalyst 3560 Series switches running IOS version 12.2 - Advanced IP
Services

https://cisco.hosted.jivesoftware.com/docs/DOC-4602

I assume that they also mean IP Services as Advanced IP Services has been
phased out and the options are now IP Services and IP Base.

I find it more likely they would connect the 3825's to the 3560 with SFP
GBICs, (Either Fiber or Copper) on the 3560 then waste a 3560-E with 24 GB
Ethernet ports. But who knows sometimes.

Subject: New Blueprint - Can Anyone Think of a Need for the "E" Series 3560?

Hey all,

So we know they're moving to the ISRs (about time!) on the router side
of the house. In looking at the blueprint, can anyone see what might
be driving them to the "E" flavor of the 3560? In the real world,
10GigE is often the driving factor for ponying up the extra $$$, at
least in my experience. Not sure what value that would hold here?
Just curious more than anything...

Regards,

Scott
