Alteon Websystems Aceswitch 180 replacement |
|
|
Hello,
I hope someone can point me in the right direction here.
I have an Alteon Websystems Aceswitch 180, and its beginning to become
a little unreliable, with already a couple of fibre ports not working.
With Alteon being absorbed into Nortel, I am wondering what a suitable
replacement might be.
Any suggestions? |

Why not get a replacement from Nortel or look on eBay. You can usually |
find used (or not so used) ones there. I would look for a model 184 or
a 180e because of the additional memory. The 180 (and 180e) are no
longer available new.

Nortel has moved all the green case Alteon products to the restricted
price list. I believe that they won't be orderable soon and will be 5
years or so until they aren't supported by Nortel support. The
suggested replacement for the 180, 184 & AD3/4 is the Nortel
Application Switch.
Not 100% sure on their exact EOL process but i'd start replacing them
with new hardware if you can. |
