New switch stack

Today the new switch stack has arrived that will be used for our new datacenter:


Its 4 * Cisco 3750-E with the IPS software. The first impression is that they are high quality switches, even compared to the stable 3560. The stacking cables comes along, one with each switch. 

Its also nice that its super easy to get started, just hook up the stacking cables and start the switches and they will auto negotiate which switch will become the master. This can also be changed, for example i wanted the top switch to be the master and the second to be the next master in case of failure so ive set it up like this:

Switch 1 Priority 15
Switch 2 Priority 14
Switch 3 Priority 1
Switch 4 Priority 1

More about the configuring the Cisco 3750-E:

Ive also gotten hold of the Juniper EX4200 and the Extreme Summit 200-24:



Ill se if i can write up something about the new Junos which is very nice. Also its very much like the Cisco IOS.

I also loved whoever's use of the word "farty" and now feel compelled to introduce it into conversation in the same way in the next few days.
