Hi Reddit!

I’m comparing a few sub-$1k 100GbE switches and would love to hear from you all about any gotchas for them (feel free to recommend other ones also!)

Basic requirements: at least 16 QSFP28 ports, MLAG support

So far, I’ve found:

• Cisco Nexus 9236C
• Juniper QFX5200
• Dell Z9100-ON

(The Celestica DX010 is much cheaper but excluded as it looks like there are software issues with newer builds of SONIC, and I’d rather not fiddle with software on my switch at least for now.)

Thanks!
