1 The core of
local area network
For the network core, recommend the use of Catalyst 6500 (family 6500 catalyst Home Edition) to manage the LAN switch module. The tool provides the performance and the application
aspect enough flexibility to cope
with the core, and the layout of local area network, the main market, it also supports the integration of network services and the elastic properties of this kind of switch is the demand for large enterprises, especially in the users of the financial, education and medical care field.
"6500
Catalyst provides technical
services to the best products, including sub-200-millisecond based (latency less than two hundred MS) controller VSS (virtual storage system, a video storage system) and quick failover enhanced version of the upgrade (EFSU)function, and Cisco IOSNetFLow have the same visibility rich," Conover said. "Catalyst 6500can also provide support for upward and downward compatibility, to protect the user'spurchase
benefit."
2 Local area network access switch
Catalyst
home 2K, 3K and
4K
For access to the LAN, recommended Cisco 3750. This product is popular because of its media applications function is very rich, such as video, it uses comprehensive simulation flow and Qos (quality of service, a solution to the problem of network delay andblocking technology) energy efficiency assessment, to ensure a good network quality. It can also be intelligent identification and video priority access to bandwidth
guaranteed the userport. In addition, the network administrator can also monitor and through to the trackingnetwork video flow to identify any that may lead to the node flash or delay. Users can also infacing the future bandwidth demands greater, the Gigabit
Ethernet upgrading the original to Gigabit ethernet.
3 Small switches
In a small switch products, recommended by Catalyst Switch 2960-C and 3560-C. These small switches provide extended services, can help users to simplify problems whenever and wherever possible to construct local area network has to face, and allow
users to stay away from trouble wiring clutter.
About the switch selection and deployment tips
If you're
more like fixed switch, then Catalyst 3750-X more appropriate; while Catalyst 4500Eis those who tend to modular product users preferred.
Catalyst 2960-S can be used alone, also can
be used as part of combination of settings toconfigure (the optional combination module supports up to four switches to paralleloperation). But please note, the most
suitable product or provide the highest one hundred and ninety-two access port for wiring cabinet branch network or space
constraints. Similarly,Catalyst 3750-X switches can also be combined (maximum support nine switches to paralleloperation), and the most ideal working state is to support branch network or enterprise
levelwiring requirements. In
addition, Catalyst 3560-X actually is 3750-X twenty-four or forty-eight port independent version, used for small branch network of job requirements.
In the
deployment of Catalyst 2960-S, 3560-X or 3750-X
switch, intelligent Conover users are advised to use Cisco installation function. This technology can automatically configure theswitch through IOS software
mirroring the Cisco, without user intervention. It adopts the dynamic IP address
assignment and pre configured switch navigation to simplify
the installation process. The switches
are using automatic intelligent node of this feature toautomatically configure each device connected to the node, but also other equipment automatic detection of access network.
