At least get 1 x 3750 if you are going the GNS route so you can use that as a breakout switch.
thanks man!
This will help answer any questions
There was some guy who posted that 3560 can run IOS 15 code so I decided to try it. Yes, we talked about this on the other thread but apparently it does work! C3560-24TS and C3560-48TS
32MB of flash memory is required (or is it 24MB?) to run v. 15 IOS on both the 3750 and 3560 switches, correct? Most of the 3750s and 3560s I am seeing on Ebay are 16MB, which would render them incompatible right?
What is the recommended most cost-effective 3560 or 3750 switch that will support v. 15 IOS? Should I Just keep looking for one with 32MB of flash, pick it up and flash it to version 15?
Thanks!
Thanks.
I don't have a 3560 or 3750 to try, but am curious
Current goal: Dunno
I do own 3750's but no 3560, just 3550.
Can I/should I mix IOS in my lab? Or keep them all the same??
You need 32MB flash. The IOS that I used was 16.x MB. I was able to fit two code both 12.2 and 15.x code since I had 32MB flash on both 3560. If you log in with you CCO account and look for the exact model, the IOS doesn't show up but if you grab the image found on 3560G download page that should work just fine with your 3560.

But on the other hand, I've heard the "32M" is the deciding factor, so my final judgement is .... I don't know. Sorry
Current goal: Dunno
*EDIT* I just tried to load IOS 15.x on two more 3560-24TS that I will be adding to my home lab and it loaded fine.
