I must reluctantly go with the "do as Foxboro suggests" faction on this. We have a V8.0b system in test on the factory floor right now, and have had issues with the standard "anointed" Enterasys switches. Foxboro has/is correcting these problems, but if we had used "non-standard" switches (which I really, really wanted to do), we might be on our own, or at least out a lot of money. As Corey pointed out, don't expect much if any support on the "non-standard" switches.

On the first set we let Foxboro talk us into Interesys switches. The corporate standard, however is Cisco, and within our organization we certainly have more expertise in supporting these. I'd like to hear from other users as to which direction they are going, or are planing on going on this.
