No one ever got fired for buying Cisco. But, I recently saw a shop where they went from Cisco to Enterasys (thanks for showing off your backbone Todd). I must say that I really liked the Enterasys switches. I looked them up and they are about 1/2 the cost of Cisco. They have great tech support and are very easy to configure, even though it’s a command line interface. The only complaint I have about them is the web interface is good for reviewing your setup but inadequate for configuration – but is good for looking at the switch configs. Maybe in time this will mature… I don’t know if they can go to the 10,000+ environments…
