[cisco-voip] Speaking of Express 500s

[Jason Burton]

Just an FYI I've dealt with two the Cat 500 and both went bad within 1 month.

I wish they had Regular SMARTnet instead of Next Business Day SMB.

	I have two in production right now. Had a few issues out of the box, but that was more related to learning the GUI than the switch itself, I think. I am still not comfortable with the lack of flexibility that a GUI only switch affords, but for those that are concerned about price this is better than some alternatives.

		Has anyone used a Cat. Express 500 in production yet.  We currently use 3560's and will continue to use 3560's but we also make suggestions to our School districts as to what to buy.  Cisco has always been more expensive but with the 500's this has changed.  We have previously suggested the HP procurves but the price is almost the same.  And more of my Schools are looking at VoIP so we would like them to start thinking in this direction, but since we have not been able to get a demo yet, and you guys always have great information, I would like to hear from you.  I don't like not having the CLI but other then that and the backplane (which shouldn't matter for k12 schools) do they work well or are they buggy?

		 

		Thanks
