I agree, in my 4500X deploys I haven't noticed a difference. Only thing would be VSS setup if you are planning on doing stacking. From my understanding Cisco has made it easier in later IOS releases. Steve -Original Message- From: cisco-nsp [mailto:cisco-nsp-boun...@puck.nether.net]

Re: [c-nsp] Inline Fan Controllers?

I have used those before, it should decrease the voltage, forcing the fan spin slower. It should work in theory on any device using a 3pin connector. Possibly a defective or junky fan controller. You could put a volt meter on the end of it to see if turning the knob has any affect. Stephen

[c-nsp] DAI Scale

I have some 2960+ running WAPs. Each 2960 will probably have 100-200 clients at peak (low bandwidth use) and I am thinking of turning on DAI on each 2960. I don't know how DAI functions on the hardware, so how well does it scale up on this platform? Will I run into issues doing this on 2960
