[AusNOG] Cisco ME3400 vs Cisco 3750

[James Cunningham]

We have about 10 Cisco 3750G-24TS-1U-24, and 5 Cisco 3750E-24TD switches
spare, that management want to find a use for, instead of buying new Cisco
ME3400 switches

I tried using the Cisco Feature Navigator, but the ME3400 switches aren't
available for selection there (at least from what I could see). Not that I
really know what features we need - we don't need anything fancy really.

We are trying to provide a dark fibre link from our racks at Equinix, to
the customers server room, and just need a Cisco device to hand off some
layer2 VLANs with, nothing else really fancy needed, and 1Gbps or 10Gbps is
all we need, which both the 3750G-24TS-1U-24 and 3750E-24TD switches can
provide.
