I am in the process of upgrading our branch office with new infrastructure and am looking to replace the current HPE switches (1620 48 port, 1920s 24 Port POE). I am looking at going to just 2 48 port POE.
I am looking at upgrading to either newer HPE or moving to Cisco (for familiarity as our controls team uses Cisco based Allen Bradley devices and they ask me questions quite often).
My few questions are:
1) What's a comparable model of Cisco and what are some considerations that I may not have insight on?
2) I am thinking going 2 48 port POE as I stated - Whats the incentive to go non POE if any? Is there any real reason to go non POE anymore?
Current we have 3 simple vlan for our main, wifi, and engineering devices. There are just a few ports on each switch tagged for these. If I move to Cisco how easy is the creation of these vlans from the GUI as I'm not familiar with their CLI at this point?
Thanks
