Resist falling in love with your network hardware, you're not supposed to see it again once it has been configured. Set it up, test it and then don't touch it again. You don't even play with the cold spares. Unless you want to explain why it wasn't in one piece on the one day that it was needed ... If you want to fall in love with some interesting kit, it better not be in production -- otherwise you can't play with it. Unless you have a lot of flexibility with downtime, and it doesn't sound like you do. You'd be better off explicitly floating the idea of an R&D test rig, where you can play with things in order to prove which will be best for production later ... -jim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
