Which HPE 3600 SI switch do I need?

Start with power. If the switch has to run phones, cameras or access points, choose a PoE model. The JD325A supplies standard 802.3af PoE. The JG306C and JG307C supply 802.3at PoE+, which gives each port more power for devices that need more than 802.3af provides. HPE lists the PoE budget as the power supplied by the internal power supply, and the v2 PoE+ models can take a higher budget with an external power supply. If the devices on the switch have their own power, the non-PoE JD332A or JG305A covers 48 ports.

Then look at the uplinks. On the v2 SI models (JG306C and JG307C), two of the four Gigabit uplinks are dual-personality ports, so each one works as either an RJ45 10/100/1000 port or an SFP port. That lets you uplink over copper without buying optics. The original SI models (JD325A and JD332A) have four SFP uplinks.

Do the 3600 v2 SI switches route and stack?

Yes. HPE documents static routes and RIP for IPv4, plus static routes and RIPng for IPv6, on the 3600 v2 SI models, along with VRRP. They also support IRF, which lets up to nine switches run as one virtual switch with a single IP address for management. OSPF is not among the routing protocols HPE lists for these SI models.

What is the difference between the A and C part number suffixes?

HPE revised the 3600 v2 product codes over time, moving models from A to B and B to C. The JG305A is the earlier code for the 3600-48 v2 SI. Check the listing for the uplink layout of the specific unit.
