There has been a lot of Cisco hate to go around, honestly over the years that is all I have seen with WISP's, "GOOOOOO Microtik, fuck cisco!!!". To answer your question the switch will work fine after that. Its likely the demo of the advanced services which would be more than simple vlans.
I am obviously biased myself towards Cisco, we have on staff CCIE's and large ASR's at all our locations running nearly 1Tbps of capacity, but dealing with large internet routers all that is out there is Cisco, Juniper, Arista and Extreme Networks (still blows my mind extreme bought brocade and didn't keep the better name).

When I go into the 'Licensing' screen through the browser, it shows Authorization Status 'EVAL MODE' with a 90 day countdown timer. Will the switch stop working after 90 days? I haven't used anything Cisco in a long time. 3500 switches were the last thing I dabbled with. -- 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
