Daniel: Thank you, I really apprecite your effort to advise me on this issue. We are not tied to any specific brands, though 'no one ever got fired for buying Cisco' ;-)
If you feel so inclined feel free to cheer about the HP line. I really know next to nothing about network hardware. I just know what the marketing folks have been shoving down my subconscious. I am primarily interested in the reporting and configuration methods for each device beyond SNMP. We run almost solely Linux and OpenSource software. We have 1 Windows box in our entire organization for testing, so I would rather stay away from routers/switched managed by an .exe As an aside are there any switches that allow you to restrict throughput?
