This depends on several things.

What kind of router and cpe? Much of this will depend on the answers to those questions. > But is the a disadvantage to limiting at the cpe vs. the tower? There is no disadvantage given the fact that you will be scripting the configuration. The only real disadvantage is the management aspect, but with this being controlled centrally, there is no disadvantage at all. -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation* * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://www.wispa.org/ * WISPA Board Member * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * ******************************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
