Hi, You are correct in that they are very similar switches. The S5232F is a newer switch based on OS10 and the Z9100 is older based on OS9. You are probably better off with the S5232F is you have other S series switches in your environment already.
Hello, I'm wondering what are the differences between the S5232F-ON and Z9100-ON switches. From the datasheets both look very much the same. Which one would be the better spine switch in combination with S5248F-ON or S5296F-ON as leaf switches?
