I prefer a CLI for most things, but the web GUI in the HP switches is useful for monitoring. It shows real-time port status and traffic utilization graphs. I sometimes have several browser windows open on one of my virtual desktops, each showing the switch status GUI. Lets me see the network's overall health at a glance. With a CLI only Catalyst, you *have* to run the separate management software to get that. (I dunno enough about Cisco's current product offerings to know if they offer web GUIs standard now, but they didn't use to.) -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
