My view regarding the 3850 is that anything that locks you into a vendor, and makes it more difficult to switch to a competitor is a bad thing for the consumer, and should be considered with your eyes wide open to the long term consequences. In my mind, one would have to make an extremely

To answer your second question, we do re-evaluate this ourselves periodically. Just about every OS can automatically get 802.1x working nowadays, but not securely. We use xpressconnect to limit the certificates that can be accepted to the valid certificates by name. This enforces the
