The sg300 don't stack at all. Use the sg500x if you want 10g sfp+ or the sg500 for 1g uplinks.

Good spot, Aaron! &nbsp;You are correct; the 300 doesn't stack. &nbsp;I meant to say uplink at the front rather than stack.

So the 300 model ports are not 1gb ? I'm not going to be stacking so not worried about that.

I am going to replace our Cisco catalyst 2960 48 port poe switches. I am considering going with the Cisco series SG300-52MP. I see that this model uses primarily the GUI. Am i still able to use the CLI and its full configuration just like my current switches? Are there any draw backs to converting to these 300 series switches?<br />
<br />
please advise and thanks in advance

what is the difference between Cisco catalyst 2960 and Cisco series SG300-52MP?

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
