    Good evening everyone,

    We are looking to do a network refresh for our access switches and currently are using 802.1x for wireless but would like to use it for the wired side. This would be layer stack switches w/ 802.1x and Poe. Any recommendations?

    For Access Layer Aruba 2530 POE+is good. If you suppose to deploy colourless ports, then you can do it with CPPM.

    Dinusha thanks for the information. 

     

    We are looking at the 2930f's switches does anyone have any experience with them, if so would anybody care to share a basic config for the switches. We would mainly be using as layer 2, but I do like the ospf option if in the future we go that route. We would be using 802.1X authentication. Does this switch have the processing power to assign vlan's quickly? Any input would be great. Thanks everyone!
