Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst Switches

  • Catalyst 2960 X/XR Series
It's used as an access switch for critical wireless functions and for some users' access. It is a very stable device.

The only problem faced was when we were upgrading iOS. The device wouldn't start properly and we saw some connectivity issues regarding distribution networking. In some cases, it was necessary to make a rollback.
  • Stability
  • Energy efficient
  • Cost of ownership
  • New iOS releases
  • Compatibility
  • Good ROI but some problems with firmware.
I prefer to use it as an access switch as there are better options for virtualization or automation.
Good for stacking. Cisco Catalyst provides good administration for these capabilities.
Well suited for mid-size offices. Less appropriate for high traffic or high density sites.
