Another major negative with the HP gear for us is that their switches only support SFP/SFP+ modules manufactured by HP, so those SFP+ Twin-AX cables that came with your Dell/IBM Blade chassis will be useless to connect to your HP Switches, to add insult HP often sell their own modules at 3x the price of an equivalent module from say Extreme or Juniper.
I've had no issues putting Netgear multimode GBICs into 1800-24g switches. Of course, these are probably useless for most people here. Btw, 3Com is HP now. Apparently, people liked 4800G series a lot. http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1276786511413+28353475&threadId=1400446 -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
