Cisco is doing a lot with artificial intelligence in the future, but I think that is a bit excessive for using AI in switch software. In my opinion, switches should focus on basic networking, and for me and my customers, speed and performance are very important. Adding many new features will always result in a lack of performance and performance degradation in my view. The focus should be on low latency switching. The switch itself has a web interface, and there are also management interfaces. Cisco Meraki has its own dashboard, and Cisco is integrating Catalyst Center into the Meraki dashboard, which is quite intuitive. However, in the Meraki dashboard, we always miss the command-line interface that we are accustomed to using, as we can do much more with the command-line interface than we can in the Meraki dashboard. I prefer the command-line interface, but regarding the intuitiveness of the web interface, it is sufficient for most people. I focus on Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches because it is my core business. I would rate this product an eight overall.
