CL: Lorda mercy!!! you sound like almost all of the Cisco sales guys I know!!!! ;-> Mention the word "core" and the only thing they can say is "6509". Let's see - one slot for the sup, one for the 16 port gig blade, one for the 48 port ethernet blade - the rest of the slots for baking pizzas :-> CL: 12 copper gig ports and 48x10/100 ports fits nicely into a 4006, which conveniently now sells with an L3 blade.. Use the 10/100/1000 blade, or use the copper gig GBICs, depending on other consideration. CL: OR... I gotta keep brining this up - depending on the applications and traffic flows, a 3550-12G and a cou-ple of 3550-48's might just do the trick. The 12G is L3 out of the box. > -----Original Message----- > From: Stuart Pittwood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2002 2:12 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Confused about Catalyst part numbers [7:54437] > > > I am looking into buying a Catalyst 5509 for the core of our network, I > am however confused by the part numbers I will need. > > I need about 12 + Gigabit Ethernet (Copper) ports, 48 10/100BaseT ports, > a GBIC uplink to some 2950G-EIs we have, and an RSM to provide intervlan > routing. > > Can anyone advise of of the part numbers I would need to get the > required ports? > > Am I correct in thinking the the Supervisor Engine III would provide the > layer 3 functions? > > Thanks in advance > > Stu Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=54445&t=54437 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
