SF300-24P Versus Cisco WS-C2960-24PC-L, How to Solve

Question: Is there a best practice as far as selecting a POE switch for a small office with 14 users? Cisco makes several SMB model available and I am not sure if the WS-C2960-24PC-L is overkilled for my environment. I have one avaya VoIP phone, two APs, and some PCs. I need QoS feature on the switch for the Avaya phone. Thanks.


Answer: Of course the 2960 will give better performance but usually for larger networks. the SMB models were desinged with smaller networks in mind. For example i have 5 SMB switches in my current evironment and we have great throughput on our network. In my previous environment i had over 100 29XX models and it was fine.But in my previous network the SMB models would not have been able to handle it. For a small network the SF300 is perfect and affordable. You should have no issues as far as performance.
