Hi folks, I just wanted to thank everyone for their (strong) opinions on switches. I ended up buying another HP ProCurve.
When I talked to HP support about my issue, their only suggestion was to update the firmware - not quite what I was hoping for, and it hasn't solved the issue, but one thing I've done in the meantime is buy a 24 port ProCurve and stick it in my server room and have all servers going through that. And I'm keeping the 48 port ProCurve I have because I can't seem to determine with absolute confidence that it is the source of my issues with the SonicWALL. I think I'm up to about $5000 in consulting fees trying to solve this issue.... :) Fun, fun!

I found the whole thread very interesting and enlightening. I would alos like to say that it was very, very nice to see a debate in which the facts and opinions did not develop into ad hominem attacks and a flame war. ________________________________ From: arohy...@dpsciences.com To: ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2010 16:56:14 -0400 Subject: RE: RE: Switch opinions OK... I'm done arguing this with you guys... it's obvious that this conversation/debate isn't going to go anywhere, and I'm out of time to continue it. I do appreciate the input, though, as I've found myself ignorant of a lot of features that HP has when compared to Cisco... I still like Cisco better though... call it personal preference. Enjoy HP, and I'll enjoy working with Cisco... agree to disagree. The OP simply wanted opinions on Catalyst 2960 switches and support... which I gave.
