HP Procurve Switch modules - what about Cisco modules ?
Hi Experts,
I have some switches from HP Procurve in one chassis with several modules.
This switch is very old and we gonna move to a new location.
With this step we want to change to CISCO.
Does CISCO also have a Chassis with modules ?

Thanks for the link.
But I just can find chassis for 10GE ports.
But I need access ports with 1Gbps ports. Do they have it ?
Or is stacking of some more switches easier ?

There are line cards for the 4500 and 6500 chassis with 1GE ports.
For example, the 4500 has the WS-X4748-SFP-E 48-port 1GE linecard
The 6500 has the WS-X6848-SFP-2T, 48-port 1GE linecard
You could use stacked switches too. Hard to say the best solution without more information on your needs.

ok I see thanks.
What is the difference between 4500 and 6500 ?
Now we use 1GE ports. Is it also possible to buy a chassis with option of 10GE ports ?

ok for the future it is better to use 6500 series right ?
because of 40GE linecards.

do you know prices for the chassis ?
Impossible to say. Pricing from cisco is dependent on your relationship with Cisco.
Outside of cisco, I would Google the P/N. Third party vendor pricing will show.

I have to ask something more.
Why the linecards so expensive and the modules not ?

I don't understand. Linecard is another word for module. Can you give me some specifics?

Leave it I go for Nexus solution :-)
