Re: [PLUG] OT: Switches

[Bill East <wm.east@gmail.com>]

I'll put in a vote for HP. We have (for a small site) extensive VLANing happening through our IDF, MDF and branch switches. While our routers are all Cisco, the HP switches blow Cisco away for price per port and you never have to buy a service contract for them (lifetime warranty). Their interface is IOSish but they support standards more and Cisco proprietary protocols less.

We are in the process of buying a new switch for our research
environment at our University. We have 10 servers which are are
planning to use 1G NIC bonding (4 each per server). Is there a good
switch that anyone can recommend? Our price range is around $3000
