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.

Hi Folks,

My core switch bank is a series of 3COM (HP) 1GIG managed switches.  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?

Tom

Haven't used Enterasys for a long time but one thing I really liked about
them was that each line in the config was numbered.  It made it so easy when
removing a bunch of lines as you could just use the negate cmd and specify
the line numbers/range.
