Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst Switches
- Catalyst 2960 X/XR Series
We utilize the [Cisco] Catalyst Series Switches in 4 IDFs and our MDF. We are using QoS for our VoIP infrastructure as many VLAN features to segregate the traffic on the network. We are running 12 VLANs for multiple purposes, as well as video surveillance. We haven't had any issues with performance with layer 1.
Being able to investigate the ARP table easily to determine port mapping is also a great feature.
