MEJ> Over Cisco? Can you give an example? 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.)
