Mike, Any idea how to get QinQ VLANs + a couple other non QinQ VLANs to trunk between two ignite switches? For the life of me I can't make it work. Per their manual it is switchport dot1q-tunnel mode uplink On one switch and then the upstream switch is just a trunk port allowing that SVLAN but

We have had similar scenarios with subscribers who accidentally unplug their power injector. They were arrears in payment, and the service stopped, so they assume we had cut them off. No, you just have to plug in the injector. Now, while I have you here, how do you want to handle your service

If I were doing Calix for Active I might look at the E5-520 for a comp with the ignite switch (20Ge +4 10GE). I've never priced one with them but I'd guess you just add a 0 to the ignite price. They also have a 12 CSFP (24) port card for the E7-2 chassis and you can run two of them in an E7-2

Re: [AFMUG] SFP Switch recomendation

We are using a few Ignite fusion fiber switches. Big complaint is that there is some strange incompatibility with 844GEs where it will sometimes cause the 844GE to reset its WAN VLAN settings if the ignite switch gets power cycled. Not sure if this has anything to do with ignite, but it doesn't
