We have serveral 3560's at the access layer, 3750's at the
distribution, and a 4507 at the core. We need more access layer
switches but the 3560G's are expensive. I noticed that the 2960 is a
good deal cheaper but it works at layer 2. Some of our future uses
will include VOIP, multicasting, vlans, and port security. I think
these can all be handled by a 2960 layer 2 switch. Any reasons why I
would choose the 3560 over the 2960?
