The HP / 3Com confusion…

Just gotta love the confusion when a customer orders a HP ProCurve switch and unboxes a 3Com switch with a completely different modelnumber.

Ordering a "HP ProCurve v1905" will get you a "3Com Baseline Switch 2250-SFP Plus", really?

Thankfully most customers are understanding when they get the explanation that HP bought 3Com a while back.

Wonder when we'll get accused of fraud? "Hey, I ordered a HP, not a crappy 3Com". I'm just waiting for it.

I've been working as a sysadmin in the ISP business since around 1995 and I still find it challenging (and fun!). This blog is my attempt to spread some useful information back to others. Mostly because I find myself reading various blogs for similar information all the time :)
