I'm after a 24 port 100mbps Cisco switch with gigabit fibre uplinks. Basically a Cisco 2950 with an uplink.
What models can you suggest?

growse said:didn't think the 2950 had gigabit uplinks - mine at home doesn't. The 3500 under my desk is a 48-port but does have dual gigabit fibre uplinks....
burbleflop said:Good point. The bog standard 2950-24 doesn't though.
burnsy2023 said:Right, I need one more switch. This needs to have at least 16 gigabit copper ports but at least 24 would be preferable. It also needs minimum 6 fibre ports but 8 would be preberable.
We currently have SC type fibre patch cables, but the 2950SX has MTRJ fibre connectors, so i'm not sure if they do SC ports outside of a GBIC. And it needs to be short haul, multimode.
Any ideas on a model?
Thanks

burnsy2023 said:Ok, What if I were to split it and have a stanard Gigabit copper switch (easy enough to find) and a dedicated Fibre switch. For the fibre switch I'd need at least 8 ports with MT-RJ connectors. Any switch that could do this without GBICs, as they're extra cost? I'm finding it hard to get a switch without a ridiculous number of ports left over and a pricetag that would make babies cry.
Question about the SFF GBIC slots, do they have two ports per module as standard large GBICs(in MTRJ format)?

Edit: I've got someone from Cisco presales support calling monday so hopefully that'll clarify everything if I'm not crystal clear by then.
