Looking around I don't see that much of a price difference between the two units though the SLX is lower priced. About the only real technical advantage I see with the Aristas are that they have generally been rather free of bugs and the mLAG seems to be a little better suited to our environment than the MCT of the Brocade line. That said, I wouldn't turn down a chance to try out one of those SLX units. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Mar 12, 2019 at 3:57 PM Aaron <<a href="mailto:aaron@wholesaleinternet.net">aaron@wholesaleinternet.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">The SLX9640 is a 1U box with 24x 10G ports and 12x 100G ports (4 <br>
