What is the best approach when looking for a specific Cisco router/switch for an enterprise/campus environment? in terms of horsepower to handle an environment?
Do you use certain tools, software (free or paid) to measure your current performance on a chassis or if you're doing a new install you know which equipment to pick with confidence? in reality, you need a piece of equipment that can handle current and future demands, but when you look at the chassis specs throughput ranging from lowest end 300gb to highest 2 TB + you can read for ages the features, specs, technologies that just throw you off.
Example, there are three different models under the 6800 series switch/router, I'm like well 150-250 users with 2-3 servers, VoIP, internet, wireless and camera system should work with a 6832 switch as the core and maybe 4500/9400 as the access switch, anything above to me sounds like an overkill.
Will greatly appreciate if there free tools, capacity planning or something that I don't know in the Cisco site that can make it easy to select the right equipment.
