Introduction and selection of Cisco 4500 series and 9300 Series Switches

The Cisco 4500 series with 9300 series switches is positioned in the product line of the entire switch product. All belong to the enterprise core-level switch equipment, today the Cisco 4500 series and  9300 Series as an article, one is that these 2 products are currently in the enterprise application of a very wide range of equipment, whether it is a party (enterprise management) or party B (System integrators) are not unfamiliar. Secondly, these 2 different manufacturers of core-level equipment are positioning is a level. So let's put them together today as a topic.

1 Cisco 4500 series Switches

Cisco's 4500 series switches are positioned at the "Enterprise core switch" level of this product line, a typical modular switch that has been said in front of the Cisco 4500 series. So how is this series divided? Let's introduce each of them.

Cisco 4500 series switches, on Cisco's product line, are actually named Cisco Catalyst 45XX. The following XX represents the number of module slots in the Cisco 45 series. For example, the Cisco Catalyst 4503 Switch, which represents the Cisco 45 series switch with 3 card slots. The Cisco Catalyst 4506 represents the Cisco 45 series switch with 6 card slots.

The specific hardware structure is as follows: ()

If you are a person (Enterprise network Management), your unit in the old Network transformation, or new network construction, need to buy a Cisco 4500 series switch, as the core layer of the entire unit switch. At this point you will need to have the switch optional. The steps are as follows:

1. Select the device model (Cisco 4500 series)

2. Select the number of slots required 3 card slot, or 6 card slot, if it is 3 card slot that is 4503, if it is 6 card slot that is 4506, if you need to do double engine, it needs to be 4507R. Remember: The number of slots actually used is the number minus 1, because the engine version also occupies a card slot,

3. Select the engine board (this is the core exchange of the main board, without this board, the switch does not start, the equivalent of the CPU model of the PC) This means that the switch engine is selected. ：

4. Select a Business board card

Depending on your organization's network requirements, such as the need for a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet interface, you need to choose to buy a 48-port gigabit version.

Or the need for a 24-port SFP optical card, it is necessary to buy a 24-port plate card, you can.

Note: When choosing a light plate card, be sure to label or indicate that you want to take the module. ：

Of course this light module is purchased separately, need a few on the purchase of a few, otherwise only board, no module This is not used, there is no way to plug the fiber cable. Remember! Remember!

5. Power Selection

Here is generally the choice of dual power supply, this convenient to do power redundancy, there is a need to clearly mark the DC or AC power supply.

2.  S9300 Series Switches

S9300 series of switches, located in switch product line, locates the campus network or enterprise's core network equipment, and Cisco's 4500 series positioning in the same grade, its overall product line contains 3 products. S9303 S9306 S9312

650) this.width=650; "src=" http://s1.51cto.com/wyfs02/M02/7F/13/wKiom1cSJTiQ9_6PAAD55z80nGc282.jpg "title=" 1.jpg " alt= "Wkiom1csjtiq9_6paad55z80ngc282.jpg"/>

Like Cisco's 4500 series, S93 represents the model of the device, s93xx XX represents the number of slots on the board, for example: S9306 represents the S9300 series switch with 6 card slots. 6 modules can be plugged in.

The specific hardware composition, and Cisco's 4500 series, is divided into frame, business board, power supply, the only difference is that Cisco is called the engine board, and is called the main control board, as well as  can configure the monitoring board, and Cisco does not have a monitoring board.
