Haha yeah, this is for one of our main campuses where departments are shuffled around from time to time, and as these are gonna live for 10+ years we decided that going with chassis gives us good flexibility!
Thanks, and good luck! Have about 80 left ourselves.
The problem with fixing other peoples work. IT NEVER LOOKS GOOD ENOUGH!
Putting lipstick on a pig. Nice man.
True has to work with whatever is there and try to make the most out of it. Thanks!
We're also moving from 4500-E series to 9400R series chassis! Glad to see someone else who has been running these for 10+ years like we have. Close to finishing our second of 3 phases; roughly 50 switches/phase!
Great! Good luck on your last endeavour.
Use some velcro to neat up that bundle
Totally agree, but did not bring any unfortunately.
Thank you for your service.
Nice work.
I see the real work is happening TOR
I hope you don't plan to use those 9400 for more than access switching, it's a bad product for a core switch. Never have I ever been so disappointed in a Cisco product, when you see how much they cost (compared to 2 x 48P accesd switches, coupled with a 9500 for example).
But the flexibility about the cards is true, we initially got baited to 9400's for this.
Yes, these are strictly access switches. From a cost perspective I think that the chassis itself is not that costly, but that the line cards are expensive. Therefore it made sense for us to buy these as we can shuffle around the line-cards wherever ports are needed.
And yes for core I would use 9500 or 9600. We're running 9600 now and are mostly happy with that.
Where’s the porn???
It was all good until I saw that damn zip tie on the right.
Huh, don’t think I used any zip ties here.
Wow thats a big switch for what little they actually use of it :D
But good work. Wanna do the same for us? We have about 2-12 Of those switches per Site and about 60 or so sites that look like ass.
