Anyone have any experience using Edge-Core switches (or Accton, Edge-Core is a subsidiary)? Good/bad? Pricing/features seem good, but you often get what you pay for . . .

we have a couple of Foundry Networks EdgeIron 4802CF, which should be similar to accton's ES3550C [1]. we have a hand full of vlans (10-20) configured and use them as a top-of-the-rack (?) switch to connect our customer's servers. the gbit uplink(s) are connected to our core equipment. on our experience, the do no good job at handling too much load. depending on the firmware, the management cpu will become too loaded and you'll have troubles accessing the switch via ssh or you'll see snmp issues. however, i haven't seen any real issues with switching performance. cheers raoul [1] http://www.accton.com/products/product_range/01_l2fes/es3550c.htm -- ____________________________________________________________________ DI (FH) Raoul Bhatia M.Sc. email. r.bhatia@ipax.at Technischer Leiter IPAX - Aloy Bhatia Hava OEG web. http://www.ipax.at Barawitzkagasse 10/2/2/11 email. office@ipax.at 1190 Wien tel. +43 1 3670030 FN 277995t HG Wien fax. +43 1 3670030 15 ____________________________________________________________________
