These have been online for a while now, but with all the Brocade love in these forums I figured I would try and spread the wealth around xD
I bought one from this seller in January. Came well packed, firmware wasn't updated and still had some version of their config on it. Mine was apparently from a school district in Manatee County Florida.

The E3800 is a Campus core/stackable grade switch.

A little power hungry at 70 watts idle, but reasonable:

Pushes alot of packets, full wire speed layer 3:

Compares to the Brocade ICX6450 but no licensing is any non-sense required, and comes with full RIP/OSPF Layer 3 out of the box.

It has a higher forwarding capacity And it has a far larger MAC table:

It's most recent Firmware is from November:

A link to the initial release note for the 16.02 branch:


ONLY SUPPORTS HP CODED SFP+ Modules/10G BaseT
Newer Switches such as 2920/2930/2530/2940 can use "unsupported trancievers" this switch CANNOT



Sorry-- I manage a bunch of Brocade switches and I just hate Brocade :)
