We bought all procurve when we had a small network upgrade 3yrs ago (although this equated to just a couple of grand and a handful of switches). Admittedly, the decision on the core switch maybe wasn't the best but I guess having been used to planet anything was better, so we opted for a 2810-24G at the core. Obviously this isn't L3 which means there are certain things i'd like to do but can't. Seems like the 2910-24 would be our best bet now which is L3.
I can't believe how much the prices appear to have gone up on procurve as well since June 08 - we paid £680 for our 2810-24 and £1260 for the equiv 48 port version yet Misco's prices seem to suggest a 50% hike!
If you can get good prices on the procurve range i'd definately go for it, especially with the competitive talks already going on here
Ha, nothing wrong with a bit of competition! Maybe a quote-off is in order!

Aha! Scrapping is such a maligned term, I prefer sparring!Ha, nothing wrong with a bit of competition! Maybe a quote-off is in order!
It's a good thing for everyone (not least with budgets as they are) Bring it on!

Careful not all switches and hp networking products have lifetime warranties.

Easy Tiger, those mentioned in the thread/by the OP do.

I am just looking at a HP E2910-48G-PoE+ (J9148A) switch and some places doing this for apx £2k + VAT where as they are mostly £3k + VAT elsewhere eg Misco. Is there something wrong or dodgy with the cheaper ones?
If you don´t need POE+ or RIP and POE is sufficient, take a look at the HP A5120-48G-PoE EI (JE071A)

price is ~2600,-€ incl. VAT

By any chance was this a techie from the Netherlands office? I've learnt never to phone them just after lunch as i think they go for a 'smoke' at lunchtime at the local coffee shop and get a bit paranoid.
I am glad its lunchtime again
bio..
It was yeah!
Ian, did you have any problems with updating to the latest firmware on the 2910 (which one are you running now?) I tried updating to .49 using the web interface but when it reboots there are java errors on the page and the overview isn't displayed properly.
That's interesting, thought thin clients using RDP, PCoIP etc were meant to be quite light on bandwidth? One to watch out for if we go for any thin clients here in future if it is the case that we need 1Gb on the edge.
We're running a 5406zl at the core, 2610-24 and 2610-48 at the edge and they've been solid apart from needing a firmware update initially on the 2610s
Booting on the secondary image on the 2910 reverts back to the previous firmware (.38) but I notice after a minute the CPU usage on the switch jumps to 100% and then sits there.
Hi Dragon,
All my 2910 Series are running: Version: W.14.49, ROM W.14.04
I've installed many ProCurve 2910al-48G-PWR (J9148A) and updated the firmware fine on these, I do find the 2510 Series firmware can be a bit dodgy though, I updated the firmware on a 2510G last week and the firmware update process went a bit mad, switch rebooted about 8 times before I could recover and fix it!
I would say I am not too keen on the procurve update process, if you doing it via the GUI it doesnt show you the progress of the update.
Easier via TFTP
