I have been looking for two new switch to be install in a colo data center to connect to our MPLS router and a couple of servers and peer with third party network. The switch will not be doing much and will only require HSRP, IP SLA tracking and routing/EIGRP. We have ruled out the 2960XR and currently looking at the Nexus 3K and Catalyst 9300. In terms of pricing they are very similar even with all the licensing required - Cat9300 is only $200 cheaper. I understand that the nexus is more aimed at DCs and the Cat 9300 is more a access switch, but the core feature sets we require are present on both models. What would you recommend going for?
