Solved: Layer-3 switching

superdave205 · ‎04-07-2010

What is the lowest end switches that do layer-3 switching all ports are 10/100/1000?

Don't quote me but I believe the Cisco linksys SRW's are the cheapest, although crappy at best if you ask me.

A solid proved model would be a 3750, like a WS-C3750G-24T which is a gig 24 port switch that allows Layer 3 ip routing.

3560s and 3750s are the lowest end switches that run IOS that are L3 capable. They come with 10/100/1000 ports.

Thanks for the reply!

I didn't know Linksys was putting out layer-3 switches now but yeah I would much rather have Cisco.

Checking this one out.

Linksys IS techincally Cisco.

IE Cisco bought Linksys awhile ago.

Sorry, old school here. To me Linksys still means home stuff and Cisco means business products.
