We tested this extensively and experienced a lot of random issues with their switches …. Random forwarding issues was one but the larger issue was simply hardware failure. Inherited some of them through acquirement (a few) and then also in our wireless network they were the original “goto” switch and pretty much all replaced now last I heard (again due to hardware failures)
