A water utility company is looking for 6 x 24 ports switches, that two are supposed to be based at there head office and then 4 to there other 4 branches and the branches are within the radius of 25kilometers. Advise the type of programmable and up gradable switches please.

Hello Lynn,

Do the switches require L3 capabilities on any of the sites? The two switches on the main site or the ones on the branches would be needed to be stackable? Would you require SFPs for uplinks? With a bit more info you might get the model you need.

If the requirements are simple, just access switches on every site, I believe the 2960X series should be enough.

In any case, you may check this link: Cisco Switch Selector. It should help you decide which model would you need to comply with the requirements of the company.
