Hello,

the SG350X would be a good alternative for the Aruba 2930f. Certainly a lot cheaper than the Catalyst 9200.

Whether you go with the HP/Aruba or the Cisco devices depends on what else you have in your network. I would recommend to avoid multi-vendor environments as much as possible...

Can you please share some disadvantages of multi vendor envoironment as I want to use them in my discussion with customers?
