HP HSR Routers

Does anyone deploy HP HSR routers for full BGP routing? Looks like they have couple of routers that can hold 4 Million IPv4 routes, and do full BGP routing. I did no even know that HP had routers of this size. I read this post on Reddit, and it said the following: I would suggest looking at the H

SFP Cost Variation

Quick question for the experts. Why when looking at SFPs, some sites list them as $800 when the same part number can be found on places like amazon for $30-$40. What is the difference in them? Why would I buy them from a place like CDW with what appears to be a 2,000% markup. https://www.cdw.com/

I can confirm this. I was working at NASA when the last "data call" was put out. We had a room with a flight simulator in it, powered by an SGI Onyx2. The conversation with the auditor went like this: Auditor *points at Onyx2* "Is that machine shared?" Me: "Well yeah, the whole group uses it t

Its all about support under warranty. CDW is selling the original Brocade SFP. The amazon links only shows a compatible one. In most cases it will work, but if that tiny metal piece will break your freshly installed 20-x2 linecard, Brocade may not replace it. Also some of the cheaper optics ma

Re: SFP Cost Variation

You also run into some quality issues on third party ones, so be aware and plan for it. I've had maybe one Cisco-branded SFP go bad that I can think, but I've got a crap ton of Axiom branded ones that were bad. Twinax ones were even worse...I got maybe two or three inserts out of a significant fr
