Reviews & Ratings for Catalyst 4948 Series Switch - with standard software I have worked with Cisco 6500 series switches at $250,000 before and moved over to a smaller company. I'm here to tell you that the 4948 is a GREAT core switch which has a nearly identical feature set and 96 gig backplane. I now have two in our main plant to give failover routing and switching to an engineering firm which needs gigabit to the desktop.
