[f-nsp] Opinions on the FESX448

[Cliff Fogle]

I have an extensive deploy of FWSX448 (FESX without the L3 upgrade
option).  They have been absolutely rock solid as straight L2 switches.
I can't really say anything bad.  Rock solid sflow export, 802.1w/RSTP
and nice straight packet switching.  10G upgrade path is a bonus and the
dual power supplies a must in my environment.  As usual with Foundry
(excluding EdgeIron), all devices operate off the same SNMP MIB which
makes monitoring a breeze.

I don't have any deployed doing L3.  Been told they do line rate, which
is a bit hard to believe, but things have changed since I started in the
late 90's.

Hello,

Does anyone have any experiences good or bad with the FESX448?
Interested generally about it as a switch, as well as, how well it
handles base L3 and OSPF in full L3. Thank you very much in advance.

Best Regards,
Jason
