Just pointers to discussions like this that come up all the time.
It depends quite a bit on what you are using them for. I'd find them
hard to justify to for a basic unmanaged workgroup switch too. Where Cisco
shines is its feature set for the price, where you need that set of features
for what you are doing, or for the port density, and for its reliability.
Its a huge market, theres many vendors out there making competing products.
>btw do you know if it's really that dell networking is based on smc?
I've heard that HP makes the guts, but Dell does their own interface
ontop of the bare hardware.
