Information about WS-C3560X-24T-L and WS-C3560X-24T-S devices.

Question

I'm doing a bit of research for my boss since we need a GigaBit PoE switch. We're looking between a WS-C3560X-24T-L and WS-C3560X-24T-S. The difference is LAN Base and IP Base. Which one is the best?

Answer 1

You can create an idea about both devices using the comparative table from the official web page. Since WS-C3560X-24T-S comes with an IP Base Software, it provides you more useful features like: MACsec, protocol-independent multicast (PIM) stub, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) stub and full Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing. So, I suggest you use the WS-C3560X-24T-S device.
