RE: out of band management gear

Dell - Internal Use - Confidential Just ran into that exact problem with Cisco Nexus 2232TM-E FEX's. They only do 10Gb/1Gb and won't step down to 100Mb. Couldn't connect some newer gear's Ethernet management ports to the management network as a result and have to get a different model FEX like

RE: out of band management gear

Dell - Internal Use - Confidential Just to clarify, it wasn't a Dell product I was referring to, but rather the Ethernert management port of a Brocade fibre channel switch... which again, why only 100Mb? Is there that much of a cost difference when mass producing this stuff? Dedicated ports o

MRJ21 also helps density in some scenarios (like line card and patch panel density), although ultimately you need to go back to RJ45 at some point. -Vinny -Original Message- From: Michael Loftis [mailto:mlof...@wgops.com] Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2012 1:29 PM To: Michael Thomas Cc:

RE: Cross country point to point link question

Assuming you're doing FCoE or just iSCSI, you REALLY need to make sure your SAN vendor blesses something messing with packet headers on the SAN traffic. I don't think the caching mechanisms on the typical accelerator would help at all either. I somehow doubt they would support that unless they h

RE: Force10 E Series at the edge?

FYI: The E300 is the TeraScale series. If you're looking at used, be sure to get dual-cam cards or else you'll top out at 256k routes. Dual-cam should give you 512K/32K (v4/v6). Next step up would be the E600i with EJ RPM(s) which is the ExaScale series and supports up to 688k/128k (v4/v6) route

RE: Force10 E Series at the edge?

Sorry... small correction. EH/EJ are line cards with different CAM sizes. RPM's for Terascale vs Exascale are EF vs EH. I'm getting my letters mixed up. :) -Vinny -Original Message- From: Abello, Vinny Sent: Monday, May 07, 2012 6:46 PM To: jrh...@netconsonance.com; joe...@bogus.com Cc:
