Ooops. Sorry. Correction: I'm running FASTiron Edge 9604s (I don't think
there is such a beast as an EdgeIron 9604!)

The EdgeIron switches are not actually made by Foundry - can't remember who
OEMs them though.....I have experince w/ the same hardware sold by Dell, and
most of it is bad. A lot of crashes for various reasons. It's mostly been
firmware issues though, and each company runs their own firmware on the
hardware. They do have some hardware limitrations as well....a lot of
limitations on mirroring ports come to mind.

Anyway, I've been running EdgeIron 9604s for a couple months and so farm am
extremely pleased. Using both Layer 2 and Layer 3 VLANS. Layer 3 is routing
using OSPF and VRRP between a pair of 9604s. So far they've been rock solid.
