Cisco Catalyst Addtional Questions

  • Layer 2 switching
  • PoE
  • High Availability and Redundancy
  • Ease of Use
For us, it is the reliability, stability, ease of use and performance. It is critical that it is reliable because the nature of our business can't afford frequent downtime. We have been using the Catalyst switches for more than 10 years already and some of them have not even been rebooted for more than a year.
First and foremost, change default credentials, configure VLANs, enable spanning tree protocol to prevent network loops. It will also be good to implement port security. Another important thing is to implement logging, backup and recovery. You need to be able to update firmare and ensure that it has the latest security patches and features.
We already have a relationship with Cisco. It is really just a matter of testing and ensuring new hardware fits our needs. Cisco has always supported us in our questions and our needs, tailoring their recommendations to our needs and what suits our organization. They are always ready with their answers and recommendations.
We didnt encounter much issues to be honest. For RMA, quick and easy as it has always been done through the portal. For issues, they adhere to SLA.
No. We used one of their partners.
