Avocent to on-band RS232 compared to switch to out-of-band ethernet are equally homogeneous. You connect to them in standard way (true out-of-band ssh, telnet) once you are connected, you're on your own in both cases, interface is heterogeneous Sure for power-cycle you can do it same way for each system. But we're not arguing managed power supply versus CMP. We're arguing on-band RS232 versus out-of-band ethernet. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
