Hello all,
Simple question: would you use a second hand EX4200 in production?
I'm looking at migrating our network to Juniper switches and replacing our netgear switches. I want to move to dual power supplies and so I have to go with EX4200. However, in the UK the cost of a new EX4200 is way to much for my budget so I have to look at the secondhand (US) market. This is far more budget friendly and I've had good success with some secondhand Cisco hardware in the past so I'm hoping the same is true of Juniper.
I would take as many precautions as possible, all configs would be backed up and I'd have a cold spare on the shelf ready to be loaded with a config should a switch stop working.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks.
