are very easy to manage and if you like you can do edge based policy manage=
ment at the port level. At the end of the day, you want to have good suppo=
rt. If you are doing any kind of VLAN management you need one brand to mak=
e things easy.

From a management standpoint having 1 type of switch can help. Another I wo=
uld consider is Juniper. They are good switches and we have had good luck w=
ith them.
Brian's questions are good and should be taken into account when specking t=
hese out.

Are your switches managed? Do you have VLANS? If your switches are
unmanaged or you don't have any VLANs, then it does not really matter what
brand of switches you have.
