Subject: [c-nsp] Switch recommendation

Hello,

 

I have the following requirements for a switch :

*	ability to handle over 20,000 MAC addresses
*	a few GigE ports (1 now, maybe 4 later)
*	a few FE ports (6 now, maybe 12 or 16 later)
*	no layer 3 required

 

I have the feeling that those requirements are somewhat unusual - a few
ports vs. a large number of MAC addresses.

 

Is the 4503 a good choice for those requirements? What cards should I
stick
in there?

 

Is there anything cheaper that would do the job?

 

Vincent
