Like another responder, we have a large deployment of the FESX's little brother, the FWSX, for L2 switching, and they have so far been completely problem free.
We do use some FES 12GCF's and FES X 424HF's for in-building routing, and they also work very well. There are a few annoying limitations (you can't do MAC filtering on a tagged port, for instance, and rate limiting is fairly restricted in how/where you can use it), but the L3 routing using OSPF has not given us any problems. They do indeed perform all IP forwarding in hardware at line rate. /cvk On Mar 21, 2007, at 6:16p, Jason J. W.
