      Hi, I'm looking for advice about prefered access switch for new deployment.I want to choose between cisco catalyst 3560 and 3750x.Can someone give me an advice to make a decision ?

      My friend suggest me try to use Cisco WS-C3560X-24P-L or Cisco WS-C3750X-24T-L . Had someone who have used those two switches? Is it worth to have?

        Only difference is the 3750 is more expensive and allows stacking. If  you have no stacking need then 3560 is what you want.

          Why not use Procurve and save a lot of money??

            It all comes down to what you need it for? (not jumping on the train about why this brand or another, I'm merely referring to functionality)
            I wouldn't exactly call it an access switch as it is far more capable than that… but I have both running here with the "IP Base" image, both work fine.
            As said by lsf, the 3750 goes a bit further by supporting stackwise & stackpower...
            Both models you listed are "LAN Base" models? If you do not need the L3 functionality, you might want consider a 2960. (have that here as well  ;D)
