Cisco Catalyst Switches Enthusiast
The quality of routing and forwarding allows us to keep the production at the fastest rates assuring also the right level of segmentation and security (through dot1x authentication and integration with ISE Profiling and authorization capabilities).
- Dot1x Authentication
- BPDU guard
- VRF handling
- Web management interface
- R-SPAN support on all switches
1) high performance networking scenarios for office areas
2) high performance networking scenarios for manufacturing areas
3) dot1x integration with ISE
Less appropriate:
1) less challenging networking scenarios for office areas
2) pure internet exit networks in small offices or areas
3) SDN scenarios where no routed access layer is present
Great product
- Stable
- Efficient
- Easy to manage
- Programmability
- Easy of troubleshooting
Great Cisco Catalyst Switches - very good addition in our company
- Fast access to the switches
- Super fast and efficient hardware
- Efficient and quick reboot of the switches
- Ability for more bandwidth
- Virtual stackwise
- Ability to use LISP/BGP in the same fabric for all Cisco Catalyst Switches
Reliability and scaleability with Cisco Catalyst Switches
- Reliability, work with no issues
- Scalability, we add more equipment easy
- Good performance
- advanced customization and manageability
- For the moment they work very well, no issues!
- Customization is okay, but it's not fully fledged because if it's not modular switches, you can not change it. Cost-wise, they are expensive, but the service they provide is very good. However, the solution should aim for a little bit more cost-effectiveness. There is room for enhancement in customization and pricing models.

- Some previous models have had less reliable software

Catalyst Switch Review
- The Switches package is very well with very low latency.
- I would say in my opinion, it's very user-friendly or if you have been in the game for Cisco. I have with my education where we usually use Cisco, it's very user-friendly.
- The design maybe, I don't know, maybe some black color or something maybe. Well for what it's supposed to do, which is switch packages and being the first layer of access for your network equipment, it's doing that already really well with all these new takes with the DNA center and stuff like that, we get so many information already from the products. Then I would say that it would be a software that has maybe some tweaking that could be a little bit better, stuff like that. But mostly it does what it is it's supposed to do, I would say. Very good.

Cisco Catalyst Switches review
- More stable in network LAN
- Easy to use
- In some moments, the example the graphic interface could be more unfriendly for inexperience users
Most flexible
- Stacking
- Software upgrades (with Failover)
- Adding and removing from stack
- Downgrades (stack reboot required)
- Broken ports (out of about 100 delivered catalysts there were 8 switches with just a few ports broken mainly 9200 series)
- Stop the buttons on the front from being used to reset the switch
Cisco Catalyst Switches fits almost everything
- Switching
- Different POE profiles up to 60W
- Easy sw upgrade
- Virtualization by using stackwise virtual technologie
- Flexibility in different line speeds on same switch
- Software being more constant when doing an upgrade (features are working different, e.g. port profiles which haven’t been there in version before)
- Issu
