Well, if the US government spies on everyone using exported cisco hardware, why wouldn't the PRC do the same? On 20 April 2018 at 08:59, Aaron Gould wrote: > Thanks Colton, Since I live in the US, and work for a boss that’s nervous > (concerned) about those things, then I

RE: Suggestion for Layer 3, all SFP+ switches

Thanks Colton, Since I live in the US, and work for a boss that’s nervous (concerned) about those things, then I comply. I remember mentioning Huawei as an option recently in a meeting and the boss and a few other fellow engineers were nervous and resistant to it. I tend to feel the same.

Re: Suggestion for Layer 3, all SFP+ switches

The ZTE 5960 with 48x SFP+ and 4x QSFP28 (40G and 100G capable) will do it within the budget listed. We use it for MPLS and VPLS. Regards Baldur Den tor. 19. apr. 2018 18.17 skrev Giuseppe Spanò - Datacast Srl < sp...@datacast.it>: > Thank you very much to everyone. > > The budget is around

Re: Suggestion for Layer 3, all SFP+ switches

Ben, The Dell options intrigue me. First question is who do you talk to at Dell about their solutions as most sales guys just seem to know their laptop and server lines? How does Dell's pricing compare with Edge-Core. Considering most of the hardware is the same Broadcom chipset, what are the

Re: Suggestion for Layer 3, all SFP+ switches

Yes, there are issues/concerns with using Huawei in the USA, but in the rest of the world they are the number 2 vendor. Also, $3500 for that box with lifetime support and warranty (their TAC is in Plano, Texas) vs $10,000 for an ACX5048 onetime plus at least $1500 a year for JTAC seems like a big

Łukasz, Out of all those Cisco models, which meets the OP requirements of " (at least 24) SFP+ ports 10G and at least a couple of upstream ports 40G capable" and a " The budget is around 3000-5000 $ each, possibly. "? The Nexus 7000's look very large with the smallest being 3U in size, so I

Re: Suggestion for Layer 3, all SFP+ switches

Thank you very much to everyone. The budget is around 3000-5000 $ each, possibly. There are many devices that could match our needs but as usual the dark side of this market is the platforms compatibility. We deployed many Mikrotik and Ericsson devices, hope they will "match" with a Cisco or

RE: Suggestion for Layer 3, all SFP+ switches

Aren't there issues/concerns with Huawei ? I think we pay about $10k with discounts and about (4) 10 gig port license to slow start our deployment of ACX5048's 10 gig east , 10 gig west , dual 10's facing FTTH OLT (Calix E7) -Aaron

Re: Suggestion for Layer 3, all SFP+ switches

I've been testing IPInfusion OcNOS running on Dell Z9100 and S4048. I've run a couple of test cases using MPLS LDP signaled port based and VLAN based VPWS (pseudowire / e-line / xconnect / Juniper CCC) and VPLS (e-lan) over an OSPFv2 IGP. It's working well between Dell/IPI to Dell/IPI boxes. We

Re: Suggestion for Layer 3, all SFP+ switches

What is your budget? I know on the low end many operators are using the Huawei S6720S-26Q-EI-24S-AC. You can get these new for $2500 to $3500, and the support all the features and port counts you requested. The also have a lifetime warranty that includes advanced replacement (10 days), TAC

look at these... * Juniper ACX5048 - I've deployed about ~50 of these over the last couple years and they are great boxes. I'm using them as mpls p/pe running L3VPN (v4 and tested 6vpe), L2VPN (manual martini l2circuits and bgp-ad rfc4762, I'll say that IOS XR asr9k has an occasional problem

Ruckus ICX switches do not do MPLS. They meet all the other requirements listed, but unfortunately MPLS was listed as the most important one. On Wed, Apr 18, 2018 at 3:01 PM Brandon Martin wrote: > On 04/18/2018 03:49 PM, Eric Litvin wrote: > > Brocade/arris is eager
