Also keep in mind that the lifetime warranty does not give you new IOS updates. It will only give you updates for bug fixes within the same train. I know on switches it is not a big deal just keep that in mind.

I totally agree and we usually find it's faster and more efficient to keep spares around in case of a failure, but considering what Marko brought up in a previous post swapping switches may not be that easy with new IOS licensing? I have also been told that LAN Base IOS does not enable StackPower features, so you have to start with a minimum of IP Base. I'm all for the "lifetime" warranty!

We are evaling several of these now. One of the biggest consideration for us is the "lifetime" warranty. It is not quite up to par as HPs warranty but it is much better. If you can stomach missing out on free TAC access you can go without SmartNet on the "x" switch and save yourself a ton of money. We found we could just about buy the 10/100/1000 3750x without SmartNet and with the "lite" version of IOS for the price of the 10/100 3750v2 with SmartNet. It is a sweet little switch and a step in the right direction to shore up HP's market gain in that product area.

Watch out for IOS licensing. I believe they come with the similar feature licensing like IOS 15, so using spares may be a little bit more difficult than it used to be. -- Marko Milivojevic - CCIE #18427 Senior Technical Instructor - IPexpert YES!
