Hello all,

We currently have 3com switches for our core network which we are looking to remove.

Although we have spoken with lots of vendors as part of initial investigation, I am interested to hear what others in the sector use as part of their core network?

Many thanks in advance

Hi Phillip,

We are stuck with Avaya as core routers/switches, but I wouldn't recommend them if starting again..

Personally, I would say go with Cisco or Juniper

Regards,

Dave

Hi.

We use pairs of Cisco 6509/Sup2T in VSS running as a single logical units for out two campus cores.
For our third smaller site (which acts as a backbone transit point) we use the (great value) Cisco 4500X's; again in a logical VSS pair.
