Ismail, The stackwise mentioned below is the way to interconnect 3750's by using a large cable that connects the switches together. This essentially extends the backplane of the switches and passes Data at 16GB both ways...

The only thing which I am still confusing with, does stack wise mean that if a two 3750-24TS-E stackable will provide 32 Gbps ? What I was planning to do is to connect two 3550 and bundle two ports from each switch (Gig etherchannel) so it will support 4000 Mbps. Do still I have to configure Gig Etherchannel between the two 3750-24TS-E switches?

I've found this 2970G-24T-E from Cisco, but it doesn't seem to be widely sold. Not sure if that's because its new or its old. Though I would like to go with a Cisco product, it doesn't appear they have anything. I'm contemplating getting a Foundry switch. Has anyone integrated a Foundry switch into a totally Cisco powered network before? Pros, Cons? Thanks!!!!
