Need advice for core device

[grinch182]

Hello everybody,

We have built our network core with Juniper EX8216. But Juniper works terrible and we facing big problem with that. So I'm looking for advice which device can be placed instead of Juniper EX8216.

I'll tell you what I'm looking for more detailed. I need some device which can care 80 XGe ports, basic secure features, advanced routing features and QoS such as LLQ or CBWRED.

Sincerely,

GRinch

you can go with 6500, 7600 or you might have a look at Cisco Nexus 7000

Thanks a lot. Nexus is what we need. I also wondering if 12816 is good enough?

We have 6500 already and I would like to implement somethhing new.

Sincerely,

not sure what youmean by ;

"also wondering if 12816 is good enough?"

[grinch182]

Could Cisco 12816 be used to reach my goals? =)

[Marwan ALshawi]

sorry i misunderstand the 12816

anyway the Cisco 12000 Series i believe is not designed to be used in the enterprise mainly for SP

i think Nexus can give high density of 1G and 10G interface with high speed forwarding and performance

Thanks once again.
