I wasn't trying to pick on you - sorry if it came across that way. It's more a matter of personal annoyance at network admins that refuse to acknowledge that devices change and problems evolve, and insist that "the rules that we have learned last century are cast in stone and must be followed to the end". The auto-neg/no auto-neg discussion is very prototypical for that :-) (Nothing bad in "learning from experience and designing rules/BCPs from there", but there must be room for adjustment and new experience every few years...) gert -- USENET is *not* the non-clickable part of WWW! //www.muc.de/~gert/ Gert Doering - Munich, Germany g...@greenie.muc.de fax: +49-89-35655025 g...@net.informatik.tu-muenchen.de _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
