Do I Need A Layer 3 Core Switch?
-
Maybe the same build quality, but way better value
Adtran is often listed as one of those secrets of network engineers. They made the high end equipment for a lot of rebranders.

@scottalanmiller Interesting. I had not heard that before. Maybe I should give them a second look?
-
Definitely worth considering. Extreme is great stuff too.
-
I will check them out. Thanks for the suggestions.
-
Maybe this is a better question, Should @wrx7m be considering Extreme instead of someone like HP? Or maybe the price isn't that much if any less then Extreme with four SPF+ ports.
-
HP is just fine too. Get prices, see what the difference is. And what you have experience with and a good VAR relationship for matters as well.

So Adtran doesn't seem to have anything in the 10GE arena. I think that is another reason why I had eliminated them early on.

That would do it.

LOL. Yeah. Very strange that they have the edge/campus but without any 10GE and then they carrier class with ONT and others.

wow, $3800/ea for the TOR switches...
$4k is pennies in large switches. A lot of ours (not access they are around $4k-$6k for 48 port 800watt Poe) are $20k+

LOL I guess my needs just don't justify it.
Most of the stuff you're dealing with Jason are so far outside with 99% of the users here deal with.
