I think the idea is that if you buy their switch it has a TFTP and DHCP server so it can be an stand alone ISP in a box.

I mean I do have a bunch of 12GE cards in E7-2 chassis but don't use them for subs. Why would you want to run DHCP on your switch?

Big complaint is that there is some strange incompatibility with 844GEs where it will sometimes cause the 844GE to reset its WAN VLAN settings if the ignite switch gets power cycled. Not sure if this has anything to do with ignite, but it doesn't happen with any other switch we have tried. VLAN settings are also mind bogglingly stupid. It can do most things except adding two tags, but the way it is configured makes zero sense. Power/heat and dimensions are all good.

We have a site going in that will have three bonded links so I need at least 6 SFP. The new name of these also changed the corm factor, theyre deeper and wont fit in some of our enclosures. We dont do much with our switches beyond VLAN and LACP. Whats a comparable option with the less then 10 inch depth but still rackmount that wont take issue with HP LACP on the other side of the link if that matters? Ive heard good/bad on the mikrotik switches. These currently only need up to 2gbps aggregate, but that will probably change over time. Im not opposed to full SFP, but on our CCR we have a coup SFP gigabit copper that are flaky, I dont know if thats a mikrotik thing or a copper SFP thing -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- Carl Peterson PORT NETWORKS 401 E Pratt St, Ste 2553 Baltimore, MD 21202 (410) 637-3707 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- Carl Peterson PORT NETWORKS 401 E Pratt St, Ste 2553 Baltimore, MD 21202 (410) 637-3707 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
