Cisco VS Foundry Networks.. [7:36448]
Cisco people I would like to know your impression of Foundry Networks. Are they something to worry about?

Depends on what you mean by "worry". I've got a couple of Foundry's in addition to the Cisco stuff. Both L2 and L3. I like them. I like the support. And I like the company.

RE: Cisco VS Foundry Networks.. [7:36448]
I have heard the guys that started Foundry left Cisco, how true that is I do not know. But I am so surprised that nothing has come of a lawsuit because the CLI and almost all commands are like Cisco's from what I have seen of them. I do know one thing about them they are very sturdy in heat. In the environment they were in we had some Cisco's fail and Xylan switches fail due to heat; we finally did get ac put in that janitors closet :) but the Foundry were rock solid in the heat. These were Big Iron 8000 by the way. You can go here for a buyers guide comparison but I do not know how up to date it is. http://www.networkcomputing.com/ibg/Products?guide_id=2444 Now that is my one bad comment against Cisco for the year :) www.digitalrage.org latest in Technical News and HowTo's www.digitalrage.org/phpBB Discussion Forums -Original Message- From: Hartnell, George [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 25, 2002 8:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Cisco VS Foundry Networks..

Re: Cisco VS Foundry Networks.. [7:36448]
Worry about in what sense? Foundry makes quality gear, etc. They just came out with their new ASIC (JetCore) and theirs a few products out based on it. They also have The FoundryMan Action figure :) Extreme also makes quality gear, as well as a number of other major/popular vendors. I do multi-vendor tech support for a big company and work on gear from many vendors. I don't have a preference other then I want exposure to as many vendors as I can. Bottom line, is you shouldn't base decisions on a nameplate or color. Look into the features, hardware arch., performance, reviews, etc. Erick B. --- Washington Rico wrote: > Cisco people I would like to know your impression of > Foundry Networks.

Re: Cisco VS Foundry Networks.. [7:36448]
Foundry makes great products! On product in particular that blows Cisco away is their ServerIron Load Balancers. Cisco made a big mistake by buying Arrowpoint, and badging them the CSS line of equipment. As far as Foundry's switches go, they are very comparable. They use a Cisco replica command set, so if you know Cisco, you can adapt to Foundry fairly easily. So all in all, Foundry is a good product, worth consideration for a lot of different applications. - Original Message - From: "Washington Rico" To: Sent: Monday, February 25, 2002 6:02 PM Subject: Cisco VS Foundry Networks..

Re: Cisco VS Foundry Networks.. [7:36448]
I think the Apple versus Microsoft and the Lotus versus Borland "look and feel" lawsuits of the late 80's / early 90's pretty much resolved that concern. Tain't no such thing as "look and feel" infringement. It still brings a smile to my face, thinking how Phillippe Kahn ( sp? ) was totally snookered by Microsoft with regards to the Borland purchase of Ashton Tate ( Dbase II ), and Microsoft's subsequent purchase of FoxPro. And yes Foundry is good stuff. The selling points are a bit different than Cisco selling points. It gets down to what best serves the customer.

Re: Cisco VS Foundry Networks.. [7:36448]
They got a nice L3 switch. Their load-balancers are not bad. But their attempts to enter the ISP-core and be the next Juniper were an epic disaster.

Re: Cisco VS Foundry Networks.. [7:36448]
In a former lifetime, I worked for one of the nation's largest ISPs. We replaced all our Cisco access/distribution routers with Foundry equipment. Excellent product at a super price. One of our demands was that Foundry be 'IOS-like', - if you know IOS you can work on Foundry. The L2 and L4 products rock also. -- George Hellinger, CCNP ""Washington Rico"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Cisco people I would like to know your impression of Foundry Networks.

Re: Cisco VS Foundry Networks.. [7:36448]
I've read a few of the responses to this question and haven't seen anyone mention the lack of debug support on Foundry equipment. Has Foundry added debug support yet ? If not, that alone is a compelling reason to buy from cisco. One of many reasons, but to me, debug is virtually mandatory in a real, production network.
