Please consider using a CRS3xx instead of CRS2xx as your design goal of 'discrete' VLANs will bypass hardware offload in a CRS2xx and affect performance.

I'm providing managed WiFi service to a commercial office building and it seems like a good testbed for a trial GPON deployment, replacing Ethernet drops to the suites. Does anyone have any of the Ubiquiti GPON gear (OLT, in particular) gathering dust on the shelf that you'd be willing to sell/loan? tim -- Tim Cailloux Southern Internet -- Locally Owned and Operated t...@southern-internet.com<mailto:t...@southern-internet.com> (404) 406-9911 ________________________________ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- Tim Cailloux Southern Internet -- Locally Owned and Operated t...@southern-internet.com<mailto:t...@southern-internet.com> (404) 406-9911
