which is technically cheaper than 2960X.īut Cisco requires that new Catalyst 9000 switches be bought with a minimum of 3 years worth of license coverage for Cisco DNA, their automation product. I have to look at the Cisco Build & Price tool (login required) but MSRP is $7,275 Those are $8300 MSRP new and $4800 MSRP refurbished.Ĭ9200L-48P-4X is 48 x RJ45 and 4 x SFP+, 740W of PoE+ They support Netflow and all kinds of sexy tricks.Ĭatalyst 9200 should be priced VERY similar to Cat2960X. Here is the deal about comparing the Cat9K to the old Cat2960:Ĭat9200 & 9300 are way the hell more powerful than 2960X.ĩ2 are both Layer-3 switches. The Catalyst 92 switches are the NEW generation hardware to support IOS-XE and take the place of the 2960 products. IOS-XE is the new OS for the Catalyst switches and ISR-4K WAN routers. It's also old as dirt, and Cisco wants to stop supporting it. The Catalyst 2960 family all run classic Cisco IOS.Ĭlassic IOS is mature as hell, and stable as fuck (generally speaking). But they exist and are valid, supported products.Ģ960-X is the current generation, correct replacement for the products you have today.īut, we need to complicate this issue a little bit further. It is missing some advanced features that would irritate me, so we never buy them.
There are two valid Catalyst 2960 products available for sale right now (three if we add the 2960C compact switch, but those are like 16 port devices, and you need 48).Ģ960-L is ultra low-end. The only question is if they are doing it because they are dumb, or are they doing it because they are intentionally trying to steer you into a more expensive product. Your VAR is behind the power curve, and is giving you inaccurate and incomplete information.
