Juniper EX3200. L2/L3 line rate GigE, partial or full PoE options available. Fiber uplink options. 24T version w/8 ports of PoE. The last 4 copper ports are shared with 1 Gig uplink module ports (but they aren't shared if you use 10 GigE uplink modules). [1]http://www.juniper.net/us/en/local/pdf/datasheets/1000216-en.pdf Well just make sure the current Mikrotik's in place don't have gig-e ports as the newer Mikrotik's do. In that case converting over to a routing environment should be as simple as some software changes in the Mikrotik's. As for fiber you'd need some media converters. We run a Mikrotik's in our network using OSPF with a bunch of Cisco's and Riverstone routers without any problems. Bret References 1. http://www.juniper.net/us/en/local/pdf/datasheets/1000216-en.pdf
