Hi!

These are good metro switches. No main issues with them.

However, as their name imply, these are metro switches. So metro
functionalities are present (UNI/NNI port types for instance, REP resiliency
protocol), while some LAN functionalities are absent (such as VTP for
instance which is less useful in metro nets than in LAN).

So if you would like to consider this switch for integration in your LAN,
just forget about it and consider a LAN Catalyst. If you consider building
an ISP metro net, then this would be a good switch for you.

Cheers,
Yann

PS: Consider to use the appropriate IOS feature set (METROBASE, METROACCESS,
METROIPACCESS or something like that).
