Fixed L3 switch models

[Kevin Melton]

Cisco currently manufactures two models of Fixed L3 switch platforms which are the 3560 and the 3750.  Each model also has the ability to purchase the "-E" model.

Reading documentation about the standard models vs. the "-E" models leads me to beleive that installations which have more intensive power requirements over the POE ports may require the "-E" models.  Is this accurate?

Note that the 3750 supports Stackwise and the 3750-E supports Stackwise Plus.
