Has anyone seen a good matrix of Cisco switches and their port-types, etc? I'm looking for something where I can say 'I need a switch with X 10-gig ports and Y 1-gig sfp ports, which models meet that criteria?' I know I can look through all of the data sheets at cisco's website, but there has to be a better way to see the specs of a large array of switches at a glance. thanks
I can't think of anything like this off the top of my head but here's what I would do if I were in a pinch and trying to put configurations together: Find someone who sells (or resells) Cisco gear professionally. They'll help you identify equipment which is appropriate for your build. -Daniel Shawn L <shawnl@up.net> writes:

We maintain one in spreadsheet form ONLY FOR FIXED CONFIGURATION SWITCHES with price, performance, and ports, which we're happy to share. I can provide it by email or post it to our wiki, depending how many people want it. -Bill

Hi I have found the best way is to find the product you are after, for example 2960 switches and then they have a nice compare models feature. http://goo.gl/K2nC1u Don On 7 August 2014 23:04, Rimestad, Steinar <Steinar.Rimestad@altibox.no> wrote:

Right. Except the original question was "Which units can provide X Y and Z", and get the answer "you're looking for a 2960, a 3711, or a XMJ-6, each has at least one model that supports the config you want". *Then* you can go hit the nice 2960 model comparison chart.
