What a sad state of affair. ES20 port price isn't very comparable to 3750 port price when you just need that 10/100 option. On a side note I noticed recently that brand spanking new cat4 E 10/100/1000 copper cards don't do auto MDI/X. I'm pretty sure that MDI/X or multirate have no significant cost addition, MDI/X doesn't even have business driver not to include it. I guess multirate has business driver, force customers to buy more. I'm really tempted to finance shop that'll produce RJ45 PoE <-> SFP transceivers. So that you'd buy transceiver that plugs to PoE port and offers SFP port. You'd get multirate and tons of SFP ports without the insane mark-up and poor density that vendors offer for no valid reason other than 'because we can'. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
