        @Sandeep Pandit Aruba (formerly ProCurve) most recently with LL3 switches being fed by a full L3 switch.  The L3 switch is SPF+ and we use Copper SFP+ cables to connect to servers in the room and put in a SFP+ fiber module for remote connections.  I also looked at Netgear.

          @Michael Velasco 100% agree with you, if you need a highly secured and redundancy as a requirement I would look at Extreme's (old Avaya) fabric. So yes you are right depends on the requirements.

            @Sandeep Pandit, there are some legacy Procurve / Aruba switches that are examples. The 2930 series had a single area OSPF. 
            You were never going to use them as ABR or ASBRs, but they could participate in one OSPF area and had a great price point.
