Well, I don't know why Cisco is different, but they seem to be; Cisco wireless gear doesn't care what switch it runs on, as far as I'm aware, as long as it can get its dot3af power from it. On Mon, Mar 2, 2015 at 8:52 AM, Turner, Ryan H rhtur...@email.unc.edu wrote: Well, let's be fair... Every

Makes sense. Aruba is #2 in the market (but pretty distant from Cisco), and HP is 4th depending on who to talk with, so acquiring Aruba would put their combined market share well past the other competition, and a tad closer to Cisco. Then again, it could go all wrong under HP. I thought Dell
