We currently have two sites (each site has a HPE 8212zl J9091A) that are link to each other via a microwave link. Each site has an MPLS layer 2 link to our ISP where out firewall (Smoothwall) is located. Currently the two sites use OSPF between each other over the microwave link while the Smoothwall has static routes (only supports static or RIP) to the VLAN's on each site.
We would like to add a third layer 3 device (well fourth) that supports OSPF at our ISP colo so that we can have dynamic routes between our sites not only over the microwave link but also over the MPLS link between each site and the ISP colo.
We are looking at the JL693A and JL258A 2930f as this supports OSPF which we are currently using on our HPE 8212zl J9091A but the spec sheet lists it as "Access OSPF routing". Doing some searching I found this and for the most part everything that "Access OSPF routing" supports suits our limited needs.
Can anyone see any reason that the 2930f series would not be suitable for our needs? I am not sure what " Maximum of 8 OSPF interfaces supported for each OSPFv2 and OSPFv3" actually impacts, is this likely to be a problem for a fairly simple network? Is there something else we should consider? We currently use HPE/Aruba and have been very happy with them so would like to stay within the HPE/Aruba Procurve ecosystem.
