Re: Cisco 2900 XLs [7:42687]
The EOL URL referenced below is, in my opinion, one of the most incomplete lists on CCO. Use it as a starting point by all means, but don't rely on it to cover everything that has been EOL'd, because it doesn't. (Actually, it appears to be a little more complete now than it used to be - but it's still pretty hopeless).

Cisco 2900 XLs [7:42687]
Has Cisco discontinued the 2900 XL series switches? If so, what are other good alternatives for the 2900XL series? I have a client with a small network about 100 users. At present the internal network is @ 10MB/s and will be upgrading to 100MB/s. There are 2 file servers, 2 app servers and users do big CAD file transfers. The budget for switches is around $4K. The plan is to move the users in 2 differ VLANs depending upong their departments and have a 80/20 rule for the traffic.

Re: Cisco 2900 XLs [7:42687]
I don't think the 2900XLs are discontinuted, however, I know Cisco is pushing the 2950 series is a newer alternative The 2950s feature Gig uplinks and 2900s don't Same with 3500s and 3550 (well the 3500's do have GBICs slots available, but I mean the same as far as Cisco pushing them as a newer alternative). Cisco seems to be favoring the 3550s. I recall checking the backplane on them and the 3550 was about twice that of the 2950 (10Gbps -vs- ~5Gbps)... but if you get the 48 port model and run clients at 100Mbps, then even the 2950 backplane should do you right If memory serves, The two of the 2950s (48 port) maybe close or slightly above your $4k budget. two 3550s (48 port) would be well over the $4k budget. Either way, if you want to use the GBICs, you'll have to buy those, but if it's only those two switches, you could either stack or trunk them over the Gig (I think you could even use both gig ports on each switch and do a 2Gbps Etherchannel, but don't quote me on that) Mike W.
