I am looking for model numbers and ballpark pricing for 3 cisco switches.
These should be simple, unmanaged, plug and play switches. Nothing
high end or fancy. They must be Cisco though.
One should be a 10/100/1000 switch with 12 ports.
one should be a 10/100/1000 switch with 24 ports
One should be a 10/1000 switch with 24 ports.
Thanx in advnce |

Hello Sherpaj,
Please clarify the statement
"They must be Cisco"
Based on this, I assume you want something like a Catalyst 2950 switch
and not one of the Linksys ones (now part of Cisco). Please confirm.
Also, you ask for
One should be a 10/1000 switch with 24 ports
Should this be a 10/100 switch with 24 ports?
Thanks

When i said "One should be a 10/1000 switch with 24 ports." I meant 10/100.
Linksys won't work. must be labled cisco.

Hello Sherpaj,
To have the "Cisco" label alone will get you a managed switch. For example,
Cisco 2950 (24 port 10/100 switch) runs about $700 and includes a
management interface
For comparison
Linksys (a division of Cisco Systems) EtherFast 4124 24-Port 10/100
runs about $120
If it is really worth it to your customer, I can certainly locate a
10/100 24 port switch
10/100/1000 24 port switch
with the Cisco label on them but the price is quite a bit higher for a
lot more capability. But if it was my money, I would buy Linksys (just
like Cisco did) and save the extra for something else.
In my searches, Cisco does not offer a 12 port switch unless it is a
high end unit with lots of capability beyond basic switching. There
used to be some, but they are "end of life" and no longer sold.
Please advise how to proceed.
