      @jaredbusch He likes the Layer 7 application blocking on the MX. I wanted to bring this up on a separate thread, but since you brought it up :D, I feel like that shouldn't really be an issue right?

        What @JaredBusch said

        Just curious: About what amount of recurring costs are we talking about? Just a rough estimate if you don't mind

          @thwr That's actually another issue. I don't really know how the budget works here, and we don't really interact with our vendors. Just guestimation...Amazon has 3 year licences for the MR32 @ $208 each and $120 for the switch. So that's about $29,240 for a set of 3 year licenses.

            Wow... I guess they get some discount, but you could buy hundreds of UBNT APs for that anyway.

              ...and matching POE switches, which means even more savings.

                Make sure you include the labor in the comparison as well. Hanging new APs can get very costly. I still think you'd come out on top over 5 years... But you don't want to hide that aspect of it.

                  @thwr Yeah it's safe to assume we got some sort of discount. But still..yeahhhh

                    I guess all the wires are already in place. Shouldn't be too hard to replace them

                      3 year Enterprise license price on the MX400 is $16k, the Advance Security license is $32k (these are list prices).

                      As much as I love Meraki (and I do use it), the license pricing is beyond ridiculous...:pouting_face:

                        Still would be to get someone in a ladder or lift to do the replacement. I've done a 150 AP organization before that was a good week for two people.

                          @coliver Definitely something they would like to see. But if I get approved to get something else, I'm working all day and night to get those in and they don't have to pay extra, haha.

                            The question is: Who should climb the ladder? Probably not someone who bills $150+ per hour.

                                      Why keep it? Clean house totally.

                                      I wondered too. Dump that crap.

                                          I would love to. I'm going to include the price of keeping the MX in my proposal.
                                          He says that he likes the ability of the layer 7 application blocking on the MX. But I feel like with appropriate firewall rules I could block those kinds of things, right? Even then the only thing I have under the Layer 7 rules blocks torrenting.

                                            Depends, what exactly is he blocking? And why?
