I have an extensive deploy of FWSX448 (FESX without the L3 upgrade option). They have been absolutely rock solid as straight L2 switches. I can't really say anything bad. Rock solid sflow export, 802.1w/RSTP and nice straight packet switching. 10G upgrade path is a bonus and the dual power supplies a must in my environment. As usual with Foundry (excluding EdgeIron), all devices operate off the same SNMP MIB which makes monitoring a breeze.
I don't have any deployed doing L3. Been told they do line rate, which is a bit hard to believe, but things have changed since I started in the late 90's.

Interested generally about it as a switch, as well as, how well it handles base L3 and OSPF in full L3. Thank you very much in advance.
