Is there an advantage to having chassis switches such as a 4510, vs having stacked switches?
We are looking at a closet that will need ~500 patch connections. Our Cisco partner recommends two 4510R switches. We currently have two older 3COM 7700. Our biggest qualm with the chassis switches is the wire management. There is no possibility to use something like a neatpatch when the 48 port blades are filled up.
Is this just how it is for high-density closest or is there a better design for this?
