I've used the EX2200's, and aside from the "limited" features compared to the rest of the EX line, they operate exactly the same, just missing a couple things that are mentioned in the datasheets. Although they recently (12.x) brought Virtual Chassis to it, I haven't done that yet. As to mixed vendor, you'd have to state what protocols you are expecting in a mixed vendor? They do STP and RSTP just fine. They won't do cisco proprietary protocols, such as CDP or VDP. They have standards based proprotocols that are equivilent. I've done OSPF and BGP (still accounting for all switches have limited BGP route space) with no issues. Overall, I've had much less problems with the Juniper switches (aside from some bad releases, especially on the EX4550 line) than my cisco switches all around. I have had some wonkiness getting especially old cisco software talking, but the problem has always been on the cisco side. Usually upgrading the cisco to newer code solved their bugs (ie. LACP). _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
