Hi,
I am looking for a L3 switch to use in our distribution layer with these capabilities:
-wccp v2 support (for our web cache)
-possibility to put a rate limit on each port of the switch
These two aspects are important among the others i already have.
Also I would like to be able to use fiber optic on the switchs ports(adapter or stand alone) in a nearer future to connect those ports to some other remote locations in my network.
answers will be much appreciated.

Hello Paul,
a Cisco 3560 can be a solution it supports WCCPv2 and QoS / rate limiting.
For the fiber optics it should have two SFP slots

Hope to help

Hi,
Thanks for the link on cisco website about products. I am still trying to choose the right L3 switch (if possible, a generation below 4500 series) as I want also to implement some security features like TCP Intercept. Also, what does RP rate limiters stands for in the cisco product advisor web page? I want to be able to limit the rate on every port of the switch...
thanks
