RE: Procurve vs. Catalyst [7:58225]
Another point, in a big network how does HP match Backbonefast Uplinkfast PVLANning In a big network, these things are VERY important, and I think they are cisco proprietary ? Can someone please comment, on STP tweaks that can be done with HP (any stp ieee compliant switch) to equal what cisco does with the first two on my list.. Also, for security I think PVLAN's are the coolest thing I have seen in a while.

RE: Procurve vs. Catalyst [7:58225]
I faced this situation (more or less) short time ago, I had to decided whether using HP 5300XL or not, they are Layer 3 and cheaper than a Cisco 4000, but finally I decided not buy them because, afaik, they don't implement VRRP or HSRP. Other reason: I think you can't use CSWI, because you need to have cdp enabled. In this list there are people who knows a lot more than me about hp switches (I think I talked with Larry Letterman 6 months ago about them) perhaps they could help you Edward Sohn wrote: > > i'm looking for ways to convince my customer to > migrate to an all-cisco environment, which would > entail swapping out all the procurve switches > installed on the LAN edge.
