ExtremeRouting Primary Use Case
Our primary use case is routing. We are currently in the process of implementing the FabricOS here pretty soon, which is their alternative to the standard, what's called XOS, ExtremeOS, which is a more traditional switching and routing model, very akin to Cisco with a similar command line structure. With the routing capabilities, you basically have a way to turn your entire infrastructure across multiple locations into what looks like essentially one large switch, so routing becomes efficient. You can let VLANs talk to each other and control anyway through access control list.
My company uses ExtremeRouting for a big LAN environment, where there is a need for ERS switches, including Extreme Networks Core Switches and chassis, so the product is like a big cabinet to reduce chassis redundancy. The product is useful for LAN networks, especially when there is traffic from supposedly 500 or 1,000 users, and you want to get the traffic from the access layer to Extreme Networks Core Switch. The product's physical architecture of the box, chipsets, and load capacity are extremely good. The product was one of the best in the market in the past, but because of the support it offers, it got out of the market. In general, the product's hardware part is very good.
Our primary use case for this solution is extreme routing. We have about ten to 12 buildings, so this product provides internal and external routing through the ExtremeRouting mechanism. Additionally, we have routing protocols, like OSPF, and RIP.
