My take on the A5/C5 is that it is going to be a great product line but it just isn't there yet. Really basic stuff like being able to tag traffic on the C5 Ethernet port just isn't there yet. Blows my mind how they could put so much thought into a product and leave out really simple basic stuff like VLAN support.
