I have had the "pleasure" of dealing with Nortel Voice equipment and
software and I was not impressed. Scary to say the least.
One of my counterparts sent around a screen shot of a configuration screen
of Nortel 8600/8300 for setting routing "administrative distance". Here are
the highlights of the screen shot.
See anything wrong with this picture.
RoutePref
Protocol Default Configured
Local 0 0
Static 5 5
ospfIntra 20 20
ospfInter 25 25
ebgp 45 45
rip 100 100
ospfExternal1 120 120
ospfExternal2 125 125
ibgp 175 175

Nortel's core business is voice and they stick to it pretty well. For
routing/switching their history isn't so good. They bought out a pretty
nice company in Bay Networks, then put nothing into Rnd, fell way
behind, then bought Tasmin to try and get back in the game. How do we
know they won't do the same thing again. Their big money is in carrier
phone switches. We used to be all Nortel, now are all Cisco and happier
for it.
Sincerely,
Bill
