some shitty experiabox

You as well eh?

It's crap indeed.

You're all wrong... Cisco, Extreme, Foundry, Force 10, Juniper... they all have their place in a heterogeneous network environment. You can go on and on until you're blue in the face, but that's the "fact." Solely relying on one vendor is asking for trouble. Or you could be in an environment like mine at work, where everything has to be certified by the government before it can even be considered for use. Well, Foundry, Extreme and Force 10 all have issues with that. That's why you rarely see them in govt data centers. So, don't be so quick to jump onto one vendor's ship and declare them the best, because a true network professional will understand how to make the best components from all companies inter-operate seamlessly.

As for my router? A Cisco 2811. Here's an old pic of before it got racked... I've got a 24U Hubbell rack in my server room full of current Cisco equipment... not older stuff pieced together to practice for certifications on.




However, I'm taking my 3750G-24TS switch out of my core (bye-bye 2+ years uptime! ) and replacing it with one of Linksys' 24port managed L3 w/ PoE switches. First off, they're very good switches and have gotten excellent reviews and 2nd, I can't justify a $6000 switch for even my home datacenter. As soon as we move into our offices, the 3750 will be put to use there. The nice thing about the SRW2024P is that it supports up to 12 15.4W Power over Ethernet ports, so when I move to IP Telephony I won't have to plug each phone into the wall... only the network. Plus the Linksys WAP-N I'm eyeing up supports PoE as well, so one less power cord for it, too.

Oooh, you're getting a layer 3 switch, I'd love to play around with one of those, or even better, a layer 4 one. Never seen one in real life though, have you played around with any?

I just updated my Linksys WRT54GS to DD-WRT v23 SP2, and it seems a bit snappier than it used to. Although whenever I touch the QoS page the thing locks up hard... Dunno what I'll do about that yet.

oh by the way, 2800 router..i love them. we got quite of few of them at work...do you use the usb ports that comes with it tho? it just seems like there is no use of them....i do love the flash card feature tho..you can't run the router without the flash card in the slot

[gamecasta]

haha.. LM, you are right, they are very old cisco routers and switches, i used to have a 3550, but sold it...there is no use for it.

plus i got these for free, so i can't complain right? haha

If you ever need any network gear or anything like that let me know. My fiance is a sales person for NACR and can sell Cisco, Extreme and some others. She also sells Avaya systems. NACR is a platinum business partner for Avaya. She is currently working on a deal with a big company in WV( big name clothing company but I cant remember the name). If you need anything even if its small or for personal use let me know and I will have her get it to you as cheap as she possibly can. She does large and small business. For the larger deals her and her design engineer will come out and discuss the best solutions and get a feel for what you need and then make a proposal. [thumbup]

BTW I am a network noob. All I know is the Extreme gear is very popular with NACR's customers and they sell alot of it.
