RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Enterasys vs Cisco

[Noah Eiger]

Thanks. Some detail: - routers to terminate both ends of a point-to-point T1 as well as two bonded T1s to the Internet. Firewall and VPN termination for up to 250 simultaneous tunnels. From Cisco: 2821 with 1 WIC and 1 dual-port WIC. - Full gigabit switches with roughly 96 ports similar to two 3750s or 3550s. There is some discussion about the cost-benefit of the very fast backplane afforded by the 3750’s SmartStack interconnection. - wireless APs similar to Aironet 1200 - branch office routers with firewall, wireless, and VPN capable of connecting to the 2821. Similar to Cisco 871W - all copper Cat 6   -- nme   From: Brian Desmond [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 21, 2005 8:35 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Enterasys vs Cisco   Without you going into much further detail about what exactly are you planning to do, you might as well include Linksys and DLink in that comparison too.   How much traffic are you passing? What kind of WAN interfaces? Current? Planned? Projected? How many kps? How many mbps? Firewalls? How many interfaces? How much switch port density? Copper? Fiber? 100TX? Gige? 10GigE? DWDM? Catch my drift?   Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED]   c - 312.731.3132     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Noah Eiger Sent: Monday, November 21, 2005 2:17 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Enterasys vs Cisco   Hi –   Has anyone had good or bad experiences with Enterasys networking equipment? We are planning to go with Cisco, but some Enterasys sales folks promise twice the performance at half the price. (ok, maybe not quite that good but….)   Any thoughts?   Thanks.   -- nme -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
