Recommendations for L2 Edge Devices

[Rahman_Duran]

Hi,

Sorry to bump this. But we need to decide what to use for L2 edge devices. there are 40 to 100 devices we need to buy or replace next year. So there will be no x430-G2. So what about future of X430? Should we invest on it or consider new 200 series? We need solid line-rate L2 switching with security features like dhcpsnooping arp inspection and something like ipv6 ra guard/ first hop security like in cisco switches.

Regards,

Yes its pretty awesome if you don't mind the cost. We need to upgrade our old A2H124 series L2 switches as they are not gigabit switches and they lack basic security features like dhcpsnooping and arp inspection.

If your budget suggestion is X440-G2 why 200 series even exist then  Or do you make huge discounts on X440-G2?

The 440G2 is a pretty awesome switch.
