Look for cheap/used Layer 3 Switch rick 07-07-05

I'm helping a small college that has around 10 buildings connected via
100FX Ethernet. All of the buildings collapse to a central hub and is
a flat layer 2 network. I'm would like to segment each building with a
VLAN/subnet using some used Layer 3 Cisco switches. I'm not sure if
any of the 2900xl or 3512xl switches can perform inter-VLAN routing. I
will have each building collapse to a layer 2 core and performing the
routing on the layer 3 switches for cost purposes (can't afford a
6513!!).

If anyone can recommend an older model Cisco switch or router that can
perform routing + 100FX and if affordable enough 1000Base SX I would
appreciate it.

Thank you,

-Rick

Hi Rick,

You may want to investigate the Cisco Refurbished Product Guide ( goes
all the way back to 1999 ):

Hope this helps.

Thanks Brad, I'll check that out. I have setup a 3COM network in the
past with Corebuilder 3500s performing the routing collapsed to a
Corebuilder 9000 Layer 2 Core. From what I can see the Cisco product
comparable to the 3COM Corebuilder 3500 series is a Catalyst 5505?
