Using Cisco Catalyst Switches

6 - We use catalyst switches from our core to distribution up to the edge of our networks. Our branch/remote sites are all running catalyst switches between all their MDF and IDF. We rely all on Cisco when it comes to connectivity and catalyst switches provide reliable and fast connectivity.
3 - We have 3 network specialists in our team who currently support all our sites that involve more than 500 switches. Our team has over 20 years of networking experience and is CCNA/CCNP certified.
  • we were able to utilize the StackPower feature of the 9300s and this helped us deploy more wave 2 access point in our environment without worrying too much with the power budget
  • we will be upgrading our old remaining IOS based switches and we are looking to go with the IOS-XE based catalyst switches for upgrades
