May be a question already answered many times, but I was just curious to what classification a switch falls under? Is it usually referred to as a DCE or a DTE. I would think a DCE because when you connect a Switch(DCE) to a ROUTER (DTE, could be DCE) you use a straight. When connecting Switch(DCE) to Switch/Hub(DCE) you use a crossover. Could someone elaborate on this issue? Is my train of though wrong on this one? The only reason I'm asking is because I've never read anyone refer to it as a DCE, a better question is can it be reffered to as one....? Another question (may be a little off topic from this discussion group) does anyone out there know a *nix platform that supports EtherChannel? I know Data ONTAP for Netapps support it, but I just wanted to know if there are any *nix that do. Thanks group. -- "Sanity is calming, but madness is far more interesting."
