We're looking at getting a used black diamond vs an HP9308 switch. The extreme is running v4 code. Whichever we get will be used to connect several buildings in a business park (layer 2 only). Initial pricing is the same (72 10/100 and 8 fiber on the hp, 16 fiber and 64 10/100 on the extreme), but additional modules for the extreme are much less expensive. However, HP comes with free tech support/software upgrades. I'm completely unfamiliar with the extreme product, and was wondering if anyone has any comparisons to make between the two products, or if there are any problems with running older code on the extreme. Also, how easy is it to config/maintain an extreme switch? Thanks, Andrew Staples http://nwnetcom.com perl -e "print(pack('H54','616e647265772e737461706c6573406e776e6574636f6d2e636f6d')) ;" "When you're riding in a time machine way far into the future, don't stick your elbow out the window, or it'll turn into a fossil."
