Cal, Thanks for the information. Another reason I want to keep it out of band is because if the device fails, we would be dead in the water right? Or does it matter? My understanding is if an OOB CAS fails users can still logon the network if you want to design it that way of course. Please let me know if I am wrong. I appreciate any advice. The more, the better I can make decisions. Pete Hey my sister graduated from Oberlin two years ago and loved it! Sounds like a great school. -----Original Message----- From: Cisco Clean Access Users and Administrators [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cal Frye Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 8:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Advice on deployment needed Pete Boynton wrote: >>> Is there a reason you want to go OOB...??? > > Right now I guess we want to do that because of scaling.
