Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst Switches

The Cisco Catalyst 9300L access switches are used for a number of different type of endpoints ranging from CCTV, IP phones. Access control and staff access. Having a segmented network allows us to provide security between devices whilst having access via the one switch stack. Integration with Cisco ISE provides us with the authentication capability we required.

Access switches, distribution. And core. Distribution and core switches a very intuitive and flexible when it comes to designing high available solutions, especially in the core and distribution for Switched virtual stack technology. Where I find it is not appropriate is the limitations for Switch virtual stack if this can be increased, this would open more options and opportunities for HA.
