I don't know why I started to think about this topic over the weekend, but I got to thinking about network design using 10baseT ethernet.
I'm a network engineer and work closely with sales. everytime in the past two years we've gone into a project, sales has always used upgrading to 100baseTX as a huge selling point. I can understand this, since the salemen and the customers can readily see 100 as being better than 10, but honestly IMO more than half the users have no reason to upgrade to 100base. plus considering that on many of these projects they don't use anything greater than 100base from the switches to the main server block, so therefore with all the desktops running 100base and browsing the internet, they are technically oversubscribed. what I'm wondering is, how should I say to the salemen that this isn't right, to keep them at 10base for the casual users and only the power users get 100base? I just don't have enough to really take away their best selling point. anyone work in a large company where its implemented like this or is everyone putting the average users desktop to 100base and oversubscribing the uplinks? scott Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=65077&t=65077 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
