Hi – so we have about 20 Cisco 10/100 switches at 1 location, that we are looking to upgrade to gigabit. The models we have currently are 3750-24PS-S and 2960-24PC-S, and we haven’t decided which ones we are going to upgrade to yet (if anyone has suggestions, I’ll take them) About 15 years ago I used to manage some switches at an office where I worked, but I’ve totally forgotten since then. When we upgrade, I’m assuming we can copy the running config from each old switch, copy to the to new switch, and everything should work? All help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

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.
