In general I agree with you. If something doesn't work right, then don't use it.
At Genuity we used Cisco gear mostly for Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) reasons. We already had contracts in place, for both buying and support, and the fact that it was the devil we knew. Infact we just lived with the issue, since all the gear was on the same UPS/Generator, the only thing we had to watch out for was people rebooting the 2511s. Finally, the 2511s CAN work right. The problem appears to be a software problem introduced about IOS 10.3. johno ps. my resume is at http://www.direwolf.com/jco/resume.html I'm still looking for either contract work or full time. andrew m. boardman wrote: >>There are a number of things you can do about this.
