See earlier posts.  Again, we're talking low-end switches; I've not run
the bigger HPs.

HP: Never a problem with hardware or firmware over the years.

Cisco: IIRC was slower to offer SSHv2.

Cisco: Unless the 29xx now has things like 802.1x, HP gets the nod.

Cisco: Wicked problems with 5500 (yes, a while back) and "redundant"
FEC aggregates.

Cisco: Some of my bias comes from nasty experiences on their router gear
not living up to spec (think: special interim IOS release because of
buggy MPLS code; not reaching near advertised forwarding rates with any
"real" routing processes and ACLs)

HP isn't perfect, though.  I wish the 25xx allowed baby jumbograms for
non-802.3ad ethertypes, such as MPLS.  Can't recall if the lower-end
Ciscos do, either, for that matter.

(Yes, some of these experiences date back several years.)
