Needed more ports for core switch so decided to mess with Cisco. Not because I like or respect that company or need their features but rather to get real world experience with it. This has only reinforced my hatred of them, but it’s currently functional
Also needed to get 10G up, so went with microtik. This is also a curious little system, but at least it wasn’t $10,000 MSRP (Cisco came from eBay). Still need to configure vlans here: thinking I’ll just keep RouterOS but make it not route.
