Hiii Guys,

I need information about which Cisco Switch consist more Fiber Optic Ports. I knew one model Cisco (WS-C3750G-12S-E) Catalyst 3750G-12S-12 Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports. But we can using this we can make stacking up to 9 devices. Even though I need more than 12 ports in single device. Could any one help me out in this.

Hi Sayed,

Please take a look at the 3560E-12SD:

[edit] Sorry, didn't catch from the first post reading that you've considered stacking (the 3560 doesn't support stacking).

For more than 12 fiber ports on a single device you'll need to go for the 4500 series with the appropriate modules:

Cisco Catalyst 4500 and 4500-E Series Line Cards

WS-X4418-GB Cisco Catalyst 4500 Gigabit Ethernet Module, server switching 18 ports (GBIC).

BR,

Hi,

Also check this module:

WS-X4448-GB-SFP Cisco Catalyst 4500 Gigabit Ethernet Module, 48-ports 1000X (SFP)

But please do note that all these modules oversubscribe the ports, please check the specs of each.

BR,

Mohammed Mahmoud.

Thanks Mr. Mohammed.

You should be able to stack up to 9 3750s of any model. (Although you can bump into issues if you mix feature sets, e.g. the difference your WS-C3750G-12S-E and WS-C3750G-12S-S, or between IOS versions.) You can also mix the 3750 and 3750-E series within the same stack. (With discontination of the 3750G-16TD, only method to get 10 gig to the stack.)

If you need more than 108 fiber gig ports in a single 3750 (stack) "device", you'll need to consider the chassis solutions. For instance, the 6500's WS-X6748-SFP provides 48 ports or up to 384 fiber gig ports for a 6509.

Thanks Mr. Jose.
