[AusNOG] Cisco 3750-X vs 3850

[Brad McGinn]

I seem to remember we had issues with 3850’s as they didn’t have l2tunnel protocol commands, so not q-in-q..  can’t remember the code version though so it may be just that.

That was the only drawback I’m afraid but it was enough for us to take them out of our standards for the time being.

Hi All,

We have an environment with a large quantity of 3750-Xs (several PoE and non-PoE variants) is use as access switches. For a separate server access segement I've now had quotes for 3850s. The literature looks attractive, not that we need the extra 10GE capacity or wlan controller yet but I'm wondering if it is worthwhile starting down the 3850 path.

Has anyone had some experience with these in production as yet and any shortfalls/issues I should be aware of? Strictly ip-base at present.

Cheers,
Peter
