But, if you can buy local, the 2821 are usually less because they cost more to ship. But, it doesn't cost any more gas money if your just driving over. You do need to research the switches a lot more. 2960 can run either the lanlite ios or the lanbase ios. But, they can only run one. a lanlite model can not be upgraded to lanbase. And, a lanbase model can not be down graded to lanlite. So what you get is the only kind of ios (lanlite or lanbase) that your going to be able to run on the model. The lanbase ios has more features. So, that is what you'd like to get. So, only purchase a model of the 2960 that runs the lanbase ios. some 3560 can run version 15 of the ios and some can not. in general the "ts" models can and the "ps" models cant. no versions of the 3750 can run version 15 of the ios. The 3560V2, 3560G, 3750V2, and 3750G models can run version 15 of the ios. and for poe, there is two versions of poe. There is the cisco version that was used prior to the ieee standard that is now used. And, the two version aren't interchangeable. What works on one won't work on the other. You can always buy a cheap 3550 poe switch to run the cisco version. or you are going to need something like a 3560V2/3750V2 poe swithch that supports both poe standards.
