Cisco Model 3750X with Full POE. Does the Static Routing on these devices work well as this is one of the main requirements
Ive been researching refurbished Cisco Voice switches. The pricing is compelling given the abilities within the equipment. They could potentially solve a lot of problems.
The location where they will be used needs to be provided with a lot of uptime. They are limited with budget. The Cisco equipment is at or near end of life, but can be warranted still by Cisco. the model numbers are the 3750X with full POE. My research indicates they have static routes and more, but some of the queries I have seen shows that people have had problems with the same said static routes. Does anyone have these, or used these in the past, or present. If so, is there any issue I need to be concerned with regarding Static routing. I must have static rotes as there are about 8 subnets within the two campus settings that are to be ties together with MPLS.
If anyone has any Idea it would help immensely. The issues is highly important as I must make the purchase today, but have this question.
Thank you

Johnny,
No problem, it is a good practice to gather information about certain gear before you start the purchase.
They can get old, but as long you have the necessary security in place you should not have any problem.

Question on these 3750X's The phones I have inherited apparently do not support the CDP protocol. They need LLDP-MED.
This switch is fully capable of handling this protocol. I am not a Cisco guy, but if these things work well, well, I will become a believer, and at last become a convert. Let me know your thoughts, and again than you!

I honestly haven't use LLDP on my device so I dont know for sure, I use CDP mostly of the time. But I'm pretty sure every L3 depending on the IOS version shall have LLDP protocol.
Something you can do is ask the seller you want to buy it from.

I just need to be 100% with this client. They have had such a hard time with their VoIP solution provider.
They were advised to utilize a supposed L7 Switch from Netgear.
These switches have lost all configuration once, and partial configurations several times.
These Cisco products, although older, will work well.
Again many thanks.
