Do you have a preferred vendor for your network gear?
I’ll go first:
- Firewalls: Fortinet, ASA, Palo Alto
- Route/Switch: Cisco, HPE/Aruba
- Wireless: Aruba, Cisco, Meraki
- Auth: NPS, ISE, ClearPass
- Monitoring: SolarWinds, Auvik, PRTG
- Automation: Ansible
- SDWAN: PA Prisma SDWAN, Fortinet, Velocloud
I got a lot of exposure to MikroTik’s route/switch devices when I worked at a WISP and really came to love them.
I know what you meant when you said “Wireless”, but I’m going to go with Siklu for their Kilo EtherHaul 70/80GHz radios that can no shit do 10Gbps links up to like 10 miles in ideal conditions.
Yeah we use a fair bit of Mikrotik as well. They’re great for the price, and work well as long as you stick to what they’re good at.
Ooooh, I gotta look this up. Love PtP links.
