[AusNOG] Switching Recommendations

[Greg M]

Just be aware that if you are pushing the 3560X hard in a server environment
you will experience packet drops due to shitty buffers on the 2960S/3560X
and 3750X series. We ended up choosing the 4948E because of this...

Cisco's 3560, model WS-C3560X-24T-L with:
C3KX-NM-10G Two 10GbE SFP+ ports network module with four physical ports
with two SFP+ and two regular SFP ports or C3KX-NM-10GT Two 10GB-T ports
network module, & C3KX-PWR-350WAC as a secondary power supply will do the
trick :-)

Cheers,
Peter.
