I would probably go for a Procurve 2650...

This gives you 48 10/100 ports (Ssame as Cisco)
2 Dual personality ports (Either 2 GBIC or 2 Gig Copper) Slightly less than cisco...

It also gives you all of the features such as Stacking, Basic Layer 3 Routing etc.

I suppose it really depends on what the most important things you want to get out of the switch are???

hello and thank you for the reply.

I need only to create VLAN and route all this over 1 gateway (for this i need a Layer3) and have redundancy, because the 3750 use a specific cable to connect multiple switch of same type and create a "cluster" of switch.

The switches HP procurve 2600 series do the same?

Thanks

Hi,

The Procurve can be configured in 'Stacks'

You can have up to 16 switches all controlled by one 'Commander' switch.

I am not sure if this is what you mean? I do not think it will provide 'fail-over' redundancy in this set up, but it allows you to manage lots of switches from one session.

The 2600 does support VLANS and routing, so you would be able to route between different VLANS and use a static route to send traffic to a defualt gateway etc.

Perfect!

Thank you!
