Do you have any links about this? My current employer is a big-time

price we pay for them yet... we're a Premier customer and get
something
like 35% off website prices (and we get to talk to US tech support :-)
), but it's a *lot* less than Cisco stuff. I'm specing stuff for a
new
data center, and if I can make a case to go with Ciscos instead...
My biggest problem with Cisco switches was that the command-line
management for them (when you'd telnet or ssh in) would be radically
different for even the same switch models at different points in the
year, let alone between different models.
Cisco switches all work the same way (more or less). HP Procurves
are, for the most part, the same, and they all have a nice curses-
like interface if you are happier that way.
The Dells, though _only_ had their command-line interface, and I
hated it.
