Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst Switches

Cisco catalyst are used for our admin network in our datacenter.
They are used to connect our Cisco Nexus devices management interfaces.
They are used to connect our Cisco Nexus devices management interfaces.
Pros
- quick boot
- they are usable right after they are unboxed
- quick and efficient for basic interconnection needs
Cons
- onboard automation
- positive
we are clearly not using catalyst switches to their full potential, when working in datacenter env we directly deploy nexus switches
we use cisco catalyst switches when we dont need advanced functionnalities like mpbgp, vxlan, macsec ...
