Cisco Catalyst Switches Secure and Connected!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use the catalyst switches everywhere! They keep us connected from the core to the edge. And configuring was fairly easy. We are upgrading pretty much all of our switches to Catalysts. With module connections at 10+ Gig we are set for years to come. Also with multigig we can connect our wireless and know that our endpoints are at the best connection!
Pros
- Connection Speed
- initial setup is fairly easy
- Replacement is easier
Cons
- I know they are trying to be compact, but do they have to be so tight? Hard to get your fingers in once all the cables are wired up!
- LED lights could be positioned differently to make it easier to see them.
- Power cable management could use a little better design.
Return on Investment
- I wish things didn't go end of life, but I understand the fast-paced, ever-evolving technology.
- Being able to easily deploy quickly is key
- Having support right there for issues makes like you made a good investment.
