Hi,
we are going to upgrade our layer 3 switches. Basically we will go from 100 Mbit/s to 1000 Mbit/s. cabling is Cat6 or OM2, so no problem. OSPFv2 for IPv4 is needed, well as those switches will have to stay for a while IPv6 is necessary, too. Although it isn´t needed for now. DHCP-Snooping and of course a working loop protection.
Talking about warranty: The most modular switches only have a low warranty period. So, let´s take stackable switches
So, I looked and compared many of them. Well, there´s also a huge price difference a Cisco (3570-X with advanced ip services license) and a 3COM 4800G. There must be a technical difference?
I haven´t seen any real review of the 4800G, yet. So I´m asking you, whether you would buy the 4800G again? What advantages does it have? Any noticable disadvantages?
thanks in advance
Merry
