All, Arvig has a couple of brand new EX3300's that we have never used and have no need for. Would there be any immediate use or benefit to the exchange if we were to donate these boxes? Could we use them to relieve any immediate strain until we can make our "long-term" purchase. Thanks! s *Shaun Carlson*Senior Manager of Information Technology | Arvig ph: (218) 346-8673 | em: shaun.carlson@arvig.com
Shaun, The EX3300 has 4 TenGig Ports. Assuming 4 Lagged Ports you could add another 4 10Gig Client Ports There is a possibility of oversubscribing to increase the number of available ports to 6 total additional client facing ports but that could run into some issues if there were ever a hard sell on Traffic.

Right now, I see 4 open 10G ports (0/0/6, 0/0/17, 0/0/26, 0/0/32) on the main switch PIC0, and 4 open 10G ports on PIC1, and one 1G fiber optic (0/0/1) on the 4500 that could probably be moved to the new PIC1 on the 4200 if they took a downtime hit. I didn't look to see who is slated to go into those ports vs. completely open. -- Doug McIntyre <merlyn@iphouse.net> ~.~ ipHouse ~.~ Network Engineer/Provisioning/Jack of all Trades
I think we have sufficient 1G ports, but if we did need additional 1G ports they would be useful for that. So, I'm not sure it provides much relief in the current situation. The most useful intermediate solution would be an additional EX4500 or EX4550. That would give us enough 10g for several months. On 3/18/15 11:50 , Shaun Carlson wrote:

I think I'd agree with Dave, it is a nice offer and would be useful if we think we'll have many more 1G members over copper but our growth lately is in 10G ports. We'll probably know more as our next-generation switch-fabric plans evolve, worst-case the financials require us to expand the current generation of hardware to buy time while we do a round of fundraising... At the moment our unassigned ports in the main switch stack are: 8x10G SFP+, plus an expansion module slot that could add 4 more 10G SFP+ ports. 6x1G copper ports, and 1x1G SFP port Cheers, anthony Anthony Anderberg Sr. Systems Analyst 320-234-5239 anthonyanderberg@nu-telecom.net www.nutelecom.net -----Original Message----- From: MICE Discuss [mailto:MICE-DISCUSS@LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET] On Behalf Of David Farmer Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2015 1:51 PM To: MICE-DISCUSS@LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET Subject: Re: [MICE-DISCUSS] Juniper EX3300's I think we have sufficient 1G ports, but if we did need additional 1G ports they would be useful for that.
