| Hi “
Has
anyone had good or bad experiences with Enterasys networking equipment? We are
planning to go with Cisco, but some Enterasys sales folks promise twice the
performance at half the price. (ok, maybe not quite that good but¦.)
Any
thoughts?
Thanks.

| What are you looking at using them for? I've used their
outdoors wireless solutions for shots of a couple miles between buildings with
very good success.

| The whole thing: routers, switches, wireless APs, and they
apparently have branched out in Jaccuzis so we are considering that as well ;-)

| I've got a bunch of their Matrix C2 switches, and they're
working pretty well. The config commands are easier than Cisco to achieve
comparable settings, and the default QOS settings work perfectly with our
VOIP. I plan to add more of them next year; they're a good value for the
money.

| The VPNs are the only thing that is heavy duty here. That™s a significant
amount of encryption. The gige is a pretty standard piece these days.
I can recommend Cisco gear, but it looks like you™re through that part. I™m
not really familiar with enterasys™ product line.
Thanks,

Thanks. Some detail:
- routers to terminate both ends of a point-to-point T1 as
well as two bonded T1s to the Internet. Firewall and VPN termination for up to
250 simultaneous tunnels. From Cisco: 2821 with 1 WIC and 1 dual-port WIC.
- Full gigabit switches with roughly 96 ports similar to two
3750s or 3550s. There is some discussion about the cost-benefit of the very
fast backplane afforded by the 3750™s SmartStack interconnection.
- wireless APs similar to Aironet 1200
- branch office routers with firewall, wireless, and VPN
capable of connecting to the 2821. Similar to Cisco 871W
- all copper Cat 6

Without you going into much further detail about what exactly are you
planning to do, you might as well include Linksys and DLink in that comparison
too.
How much traffic are you passing? What kind of WAN interfaces? Current?
Planned? Projected? How many kps? How many mbps? Firewalls? How many
interfaces? How much switch port density? Copper? Fiber? 100TX? Gige? 10GigE?
DWDM? Catch my drift?
Thanks,

| I think the statement of config commands being easier is pretty relative.
Personally I find IOS to be quite intuitive and I could likely punch out a basic
class map for you here even not doing it often based on the amount of time I
spend on IOS based devices¦

| Yes, it is relative. What I should have said is
that the config commands are simpler than Cisco IOS to achieve
comparable settings -- they don't generally require as many
parameters, because the defaults work well for what I'm trying to do.
I still run all Cisco routers; I just found the Enterasys switches to be a good
value for the money.
