Switch gods:
Any of you folks installed gigastack 35xx or 29xx? I really don't see much
of an advantage to this technology, so I wonder what I am missing. Sure,
you can manage a bunch of switches with one IP address through a graphical
interface. BFD.
The fast failover and minimal uplinks would be cool if you could stack
multiple switches on different floors, but as I read the specs, the switches
must be within 1 meter of each other. If you need multiples of 48 ports in
one closet, why not just use a modular switch?
I have read the docs on CCO, but I don't really see what does this
technology really buys us, beyond a few corner cases. Any feedback or links
appreciated.
