CAT6509 router or L3 switch? alternative Low-end L3 switches/router? open original image

Is CAT6509 a router or an L3 switch? If it is an L3 switch/router, what is its equivalent router/L3 switch available from Cisco? I basically want to compare the Price details here.



Also, I assume CAT6509 is a high-end router/L3 switch. What are the low-end alternatives here?



7609 but it is more expensive. The 6509 pb is the bay. you must have more place on the side to avoid temp pb.

The difference kinda blurs lately doesn't it?

The Cisco router pushed is the 7609, which is basicly the same thing as a 6509 with a ever-so-slightly different chassis.

The 450x with higher level Sup engine is very nice. Can't do as much of course, but much lower cost. The entry level L3 switches are the

3xxx line. It really depends alot on what features you need to say what you can use.
