No, in fact those are very interesting as they're a stop-gap between 3750s and 4500s at a good price per port. Are there any HSRP limitations on them? Guess I need to do some more research, as those are pretty hot. Thanks for the heads up, we'll definitely take a closer look. Regards, Randal

I use 4948 series. I pay $8400 for 4948-e and $6500 for 4948-s (non-10GE models).
The price delta isnt so great from the 3560G series. At the end of the day, it is a cat4500 in a 1u chassis.
Are these out of your budget? j.

I agree, 6500s or 4500s for distribution are where it's at ... Unfortunately they cost a lot. Which is why the suits are considering financing them by charging for the features they provide.
