Replace the backbone switch par the newer

Hi All,

I used since some years two switches Cisco 4006 (level 3) on the backbone network.

I connected some switch 2950, 2960, 3550 and 3750 to the switch 4006 by GBIC interface (GigaEthernet) with STP enabled.

Each switch 4006 is equiped of 22 Gbic interface. For each 4006 switch, i had 2 x 48 FastEthernet Port (total=96 ports) that i used to connect my servers (linux, unix and solaris) and my Cisco routers and other equipment.

All others workstations are connected to the switch 2950, 2960, 3550 and

3750.

Can you please tell me which switch is used today for the same need ? So, the switch with some Gbic interface (more than 12 gibc and 48 or 96 FastEthernet ports). The switch which support all protocols like STP, BGP, OSPF, HSRP, IGMP, DVMRP... etc

So, i need to know, what is the upgrade of the switch 4006 today.

Thank You very much for your great help

Best Regards Rahan

Hi Rahan,

The recommended replacement for the Cisco Catalyst 4006 is the Cisco Catalyst 4506, 4507R, or 4510R chassis.

You can use the Cisco Technology Migration Plan (TMP) to trade in products and receive credit toward the purchase of new Cisco equipment.

Cisco currently is offering a generous trade-in bonus for Cisco Catalyst 4003, 4006, Catalyst 4000 supervisor engines I and II, or Catalyst 4500 Supervisor Engine III trades to any Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series chassis or Catalyst 4500 Series supervisor engine.

Thanks a lot Brad. I will compare the serie 4500 with the 6500.

And the I/O cards from your 4006 should work in a 45xx box - so if you go for a bigger (4510?) chassis then you can minimise extra cost, but will have room for more blades.

AFAIR a Sup5 will increase the available bandwidth using the same modules to around 6 Gbps per slot.
