The setup is a small set. Basically, we have branches near about 50 to 100 users using the solution. The L2 switches are installed in the access layer, and further, it is connected to our Citrix SD-WAN box, and Citrix SD-WAN terminates the appliance. So this is the setup. This is a small setup. It will not take much time to deploy it. It can be done in five to ten minutes. One just needs to unbox Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches, terminate the power supply, and connect to the Citrix router. Seven or eight of our resources, with one person as their leader, are involved in managing Citrix to look after the deployments and maintenance of Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches. Speaking about the rest of the resources and the organization structure we have, one person is involved in technical follow-up, and three are involved in the technical part.

Cisco can do better as it can modify the OS to be able to handle the Python script from CLI. As I was reading about the features of Huawei, I saw that Huawei has a feature with which we can write a Python script into Huawei's switches and set the trigger condition in Python script to perform the action according to the log generated by the event, but such a feature is not available in Cisco. With Cisco, you can use Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager (EEM), which is an old technique that most people don't know how to handle. Python or some automation tools should be incorporated into the CLI shell of devices.

Cisco's product is excellent and highly stable with decades of experience in switching and technology. It's a top-notch solution when your entire network operates within the Cisco ecosystem, allowing for a wide range of capabilities. However, the challenge with Cisco lies in its prioritization. When integrating with third-party solutions, like Juniper, it can be somewhat challenging, but it still performs reasonably well. Setting up Cisco switches is not a straightforward process; it's complex and requires more than simply powering them on and figuring things out as you go. You need a solid understanding of switch and stack configuration because Cisco has its unique software features. Cisco excels in vendor lock-in, meaning that if you want to combine Cisco switches with non-Cisco functionality, it can be both time-consuming and costly. While Cisco offers the most extensive capabilities, it can also be less flexible and more challenging when you want to deviate from the Cisco ecosystem.
