I’ve been running Enterasys switches exclusively for several years and am very 
happy with them http://www.enterasys.com/. Before that, I’ve had Cisco, 3Com, & 
Dell. One cool thing about Enterasys is that the default configs make sense, 
like the default QOS settings.

Subject: Time for new core switches

Hi Folks,

My core switch bank is a series of 3COM (HP) 1GIG managed switches.  They've 
worked very well.  I don't think the exact model is made anymore, so I cannot 
add to the current bank.

Looking at my options, what speeds are you now using for your core switches:  1 
GB, 10, 100?  We don't do any audio or AutoCad type of things here, but I do 
have several SANS that are connected to the core.  I haven't run any port stats 
yet but I will.

What about port size?  Each of these switches has 24 ports.  I could continue 
with smaller switches or look for a few switches with many ports.  I recall 
seeing a Foundry core switch a few years ago and I think it had a few hundred 
ports.

Thoughts?

Tom
