3750

Team,
Now that a new switch is been moved to the lab, I have the following question....

I do have a 3750 and a 3550...Do you think that I should be fine for my lab or do I need to get the new one....

Regards,

J.

    I would look at rental time. For the things that are different, you can learn fine on a little rental time for a lot less money.

    those are some not cheap switches.. they'll work great for you home lab.. i tend to agree with pch on the rack rentals and at the same time i understand why you want to have the lab at home you can turn on and off anytime

    I have not problem with the rack rental...ofcourse is not the same thing like wakeup in the middle of the night do some work and go back to bed again without having to worried about what is going on on the other end.......btw I just wonder if the same features available on the 3560 will be available on the 3750.....btw in another topic...I have been monitoring this forum and I have to tell you that it rocks....I like what I see...

    i believe the 3750 should be compairable feature wise to the 3560s.. i couldn't find info on the 3750 support for ospf ver 3.. but that doesn't mean it doesn't until you try

    sw1(config)#in fastEthernet 1/0/24
    sw1(config-if)#no switchport
    sw1(config-if)#ipv6 unicast-routing
    sw1(config)#ipv6 router ospf 1
    sw1(config-rtr)#
    (from my 3750 hehe)

    3560 and up will have support ospfv3

    B4 you invest in any type of cisco equip, if you are looking for specific features in hardware and are unsure of which one does what, goto cisco.com type feature navigator in search, save to favorites. here it is put in fav http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/CFN/Dispatch?act=featSelect&task=init&featStartsWith=All. Whoever is not familiar with this link should really check it out. explore it lots till you have a good idea of what hardware can or can't do, same for ios try to stay within the 12.3 - 12.4 adventerprise stuff- thats where the important stuff is.

    R&S = 12.4 ADVENT IOS FOR ROUTERS AND 122 ADVIPSERV FOR SWITCH.

    If you are curious bout the ios feature differences between the 3560 and 3750 just goto that link find the best ios for each and compare em. You can also compare documentation for each switch, but with documentation theres lotta blah sometimes. For CCIE both will work, since u have 3750 already stick with another one.

    HELLZxPHADER,
    Thanks for the link, I had used it before....according to your link and according to the ios image download site....the 3750 does not support ipv6... 12.2.35-SE1 (ED) is the latest ios available for download...there is not images for 12.3xxx or 12.4xxx if you do not mind and can you share the full image name in your 3750 or show version in order for me to find that specific image that you are using on the cisco web site....below is what right now I have on my 3750


    System image file is "flash:/c3750-advipservicesk9-mz.122-35.SE.bin"

    Thanks....

    HELLZxPHADER,
    I went back again to image tool...and I saw that my current image should support ipv6 but it does

    System image file is "flash:/c3750-advipservicesk9-mz.122-35.SE.bin"

    See below and you could see that there is not option for ipv6
    do I am missing something here?


    ip Global IP configuration subcommands
    ixi IXI Config command
    kerberos Configure Kerberos
    key Key management


    sw2(config-if)#no switchport
    sw2(config-if)#ipv6 unicast-routing
    ^
    % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

    sw2(config-if)#
    sw2(config-if)#
    sw2(config-if)#exit
    sw2(config)#
    sw2(config)#
    sw2(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing
    ^
    % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

    sw2(config)#

    also to add .. i got some quotes for a 3750 and a 3560.. the 3560 is cheaper but if you going to ebay it its all gonna be cheaper than the purchase direct path

    I named them S3750-1 and S3750-2..... but I'll probably just call them SW3 and SW4 when I do the NMC DoITs.... and SW1 and SW2 when I do InternetworkExpert Labs icon_lol.gif

    They work great!
