none the less. Do you have any idea about the amount of memory in the box and
max routing table entries for the purpose of running BGP on the

color=#0000ff size=2>Hi. I've worked with both extreme and Cisco, and
would like to offer an opinion. I have never been happy with the
extreme's ability to do redundancy (I.e. hsrp/vrrp) and/or have redundant
connections to multiple switches. They are very unstable in this
configuration and Extreme support is quite clueless, even if you have a
Beryllium-super-platinum service contract.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anybody know a good supplier of refurb extreme
boxes. After reading the spec I would be happy to wave goodbye to some Cisco
2948G-L3's in favour of the Summit 48i/si. Also, does anybody haave an idea
how much the full L3 upgrade costs.</FONT></DIV>
