[AusNOG] Cisco Switch recommendations for a small ISP

[James Mcintosh]

Hi Noggers,

Just looking for some switch recommendations for a small ISP. Mining through the info at cisco.com gives me a lot of marketing fluff but not much in the way of real info that I need. What I'm after is as follows:

- Must be Cisco gear (I know there are other options out there but we are a Cisco shop)

- Layer 2 Ethernet with a minimum of 48 ports gigabit ports. Layer 3 functionality within the switch is not a requirement.

- Dual redundant power

- Q-in-Q 802.1Q tunnelling

I've looked the 3750's but they aren't gigabit. Also the 2960G-48-TC-L but it doesn't appear to have Q-in-Q 802.1Q tunnelling

Any ideas?
