I'd recommend either Adtran or HP - Adtran gives a minimum 5yr warranty and lifetime software & HP gives a lifetime warranty and software.
Sean Rector, MCSE From: Chinnery, Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2008 1:10 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Network core switch My old Cisco 4006 is nearing end of life where Cisco won't even support it. So, I need to put it in a budget request for a replacement core switch. I've already researched possible Cisco replacements but I wanted to ask the group for their opinions regarding other company's products such as Foundry. 95% of all network traffic passes through this switch which is a layer 3, btw. 48 gig ports, 6 or so gbics and the balance will be 100 meg.
