Greetings,
Because of budget constraints and Cisco's move to forcing us
off of our paid-for Dell hardware to Cisco devices our CCA license is about
to run out. We can't afford to upgrade to the Cisco solution and switching
to another vendor is just as expensive (if not more, Still Secure comes in
dead-even with the Cisco upgrade cost). What happens when the license runs
out? I'm sure all the 'pr_' rules will quit updating, but will the college
be able to craft manual rules or will the system fail closed (happened once
to us around the Perfigo switchover)?
Side note: Thank you to all of you on this list that have helped me so much
over the years. This is my last week at Mary Baldwin College and this list
has saved my bacon so many times in the past! I'm getting a job in the "real
world" for actual money!
Thanks,
Daniel R. Sullivan
