There's a special place in hell for people re-using the "Catalyst" brand name and then putting yearly renewable licenses on it. Or IOS XE.

I'm not actually sure *which* BU is doing "Catalyst" these days, but we're so annoyed about Cisco these days that I haven't really looked at all these new and shiny products from all these new and shiny BUs with all these new and shiny operating systems in quite a while.

We bought the C6880-X for our core switch back in 2014. It's still humming, running plain old IOS. The upgrade path is Arista for this. I'm not sure what switching is doing over at Cisco, these days. Mark.
