Hi folks..
We have a customer that has a Cisco 6500 - very old and they want to retire it out of service (12+ years old). The customer is a municipal fiber provider and their main business is providing connectivity (vs providing Internet). They have approached us about a Juniper replacement and I've been thinking about EX series but looking for some input please. Their requirements are what would seem fairly basic: 40-50 switch ports supporting up to 1G (all copper today as they use media converters and wish to continue using them) Dot1q support on each port (yup, easy enough) Per port ingress and egress bandwidth control (rate limiting with burst) Per VLAN ingress and egress bandwidth control (rate limiting on a per VLAN basis with burst) When I have looked at the EX2200,3300,4200 series (which I'm reasonably familiar with) I don't see a way to do this. Our Juniper SE says the issue is ingress bandwidth control and that the rest of the criteria is easily met. As they also would prefer and are also used to having a chassis level box with power redundancy, switch processor redundancy etc then this has me looking at EX6200/8200 series. The EX6200 seems to be pretty much EX4200 "modules" so not sure if it solves my problem - thinking more towards EX8200 but not familiar enough to know if it will meet this criteria especially ingress *and* egress per VLAN bandwidth controls. Any thoughts are much appreciated ;) Paul _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
