Hi folks=2C=20
=20
I've traditionally been a Cisco Catalyst shop for my switching gear.
=20
I am doing a significant hardware refresh in one of my offices=2C which wil=
l entail replacing about 20 access switches and a couple core devices. Pre=
tty simple L3 VLAN environment with VRRP/HSRP=2C on the physical end I have=
1G fibre/copper and 10G fibre. My core switch of choice will likely be th=
e Cat 4500 series.
=20
I'm considering Cisco's Meraki platform for my access layer and I'm looking=
for deployment stories of folks that have deployed Meraki in the past...go=
od/bad/ugly kinda stuff.
=20
I know Meraki hardcores were upset when Cisco acquired them=2C but not exac=
tly sure why.
=20
Anyway=2C any thoughts would be useful. Thanks!
