The company I work for is currently planning to upgrade existing switches - Catalyst 5000 & 5500 - to more modern technology. The plan is to replace all with 6500 chassis units-but these seem to be very high priced and are they suited to plug in end user computers? My understanding is that the
6500 would be used as a core switch - maybe with high speed fiber modules to other switches.The alternatives are the 4500 range & 3750 stackable. I'd be interested in anyone's implementations using the 3 switch types and recommendations of suitability. We plan to use VOIP sometime soon so this is also a consideration.
