Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst Switches

Thousands of Cisco Catalyst Switches are used within my organisation as PE switches which are further stacked onto multiple Cisco access switches.

Pros

  • They keep on going forever, some of our switches has 12 years of uptime
  • Measurement of traffic flows is great via snmp integration
  • Very friendly CLI to config/modify any interface vi ssh or console

Cons

  • Some more fiber ports which would reduce sfp usage
  • Very Reliable
  • Great support from account manager in case a tac case needs to be raised
  • Alerts via NMS helps detect down switches to further investigate and fix
  • Unlike other vendors, Cisco Catalyst Switches doesn’t require redundant links to be shut for certain file servers to be accessible
  • ThousandEyes
