Concur on the UPS as a heat source. We had to move ours outside of our Cool Cell cause it was getting to hot inside in the summer. The switches, server and RB's produce plenty of heat by themselves. Phil On Wed, Feb 5, 2014 at 8:46 PM, Erik Anderson wrote: > Heat source? We use a UPS. The en

Heat source? We use a UPS. The enclosures are cold, but not as cold as the outside air and we have not had a problem using indoor rated Cisco switches (even in our recent -19 weather). We do use fans for cooling during other seasons. But, we have had fans die and open the box to discover an est

We've been running a Cisco WC2955T-12 outside in an unheated enclosure (Northern New Mexico) for about three years with a hiccup. It is only has twelve ports, but is 24 VDC and good to -10C. Also has a DIN mount. Think I found it used on line for about $800. Phil On Wed, Feb 5, 2014 at 3:0

Well, if it's $1000 vs $200 i'd probably do a heater. $300-400 might get the outdoor switch. On Feb 5, 2014 5:08 PM, "Josh Reynolds" wrote: > How much are you looking to spend? direct DC switches are often very > expensive, same for lower temp range ones. It may be cheaper to put a > heater in a

How much are you looking to spend? direct DC switches are often very expensive, same for lower temp range ones. It may be cheaper to put a heater in an enclosure and run an indoor switch. *Josh Reynolds* Chief Information Officer SPITwSPOTS j...@spitwspots.com | www.spitwspots.com On 02/05/201

These all look like indoor switches to me, are they OK at -20 or -30 C? Was hoping for outdoor rated and DC power, this box already has 24v and 48v power. My issue with the CRS is it only apparently supports STP on a bridge interface which is CPU throughput limited. Also the switch functionality

Our entire network runs pfsense, and we also have commercial support with them. I'm simply suggesting he use a hardware based tool for the job, not a software one that would give him less performance and cost more. *Josh Reynolds* Chief Information Officer SPITwSPOTS j...@spitwspots.com | www.
