I'm sure many of you have already read about this new switch, but these are quite different looking than the normal Cisco switches I'm used to working with. Plus, I even had a dream last night about these silly things, so they were on my mind this morning. Cisco designed these basically for the manufacturing sector or anywhere else that the atmosphere wreaks havoc on networking equipment. I remember some of the switch rooms at GM that I've been into and I was surprised that the fans didn't stop turning because they were so clogged with dust! These new switches don't use fans. Instead, they are internally cooled and are able to operate at extreme temperatures and withstand extreme vibration and shock.
