And we are moving away from them. Lack of reliability, their cost/port density value is dropping, and they've given us some bad info to make a sale (S-Series switches can run all ports at line rate... oh.. whoops... no they can't). -sc From: Derek Harris [mailto:dhar...@panoramaortho.com] Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2012 2:55 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Time for new core switches I've been running Enterasys switches exclusively for several years and am very happy with them http://www.enterasys.com/. Before that, I've had Cisco, 3Com, & Dell. One cool thing about Enterasys is that the default configs make sense, like the default QOS settings. From: Steven M.

They've worked very well. I don't think the exact model is made anymore, so I cannot add to the current bank. Looking at my options, what speeds are you now using for your core switches: 1 GB, 10, 100? We don't do any audio or AutoCad type of things here, but I do have several SANS that are connected to the core. I haven't run any port stats yet but I will. What about port size? Each of these switches has 24 ports. I could continue with smaller switches or look for a few switches with many ports. I recall seeing a Foundry core switch a few years ago and I think it had a few hundred ports. Thoughts?
