thanks! yes we currently use several 4way and 8way ethernet cards but the boss gets something under his skin to 'simplify' and winds up creating more headaches and complication than is present now. he doesnt like the idea that only certain specific switch ports can only be used with certain specific /24 networks and so there has to be a chart on the wall to identify the port blocks vs lan segments.. he wants to have all ports on the switch handle all vlans.. in my opinion that is far more of a mess than what we use now. > > Oliver > -- > Diese Nachricht wurde digital unterschrieben > oliwel's public key: http://www.oliwel.de/oliwel.crt > Basiszertifikat: http://www.ldv.ei.tum.de/page72 > -- Chuck "...and the hordes of M$*ft users descended upon me in their anger, and asked 'Why do you not get the viruses or the BlueScreensOfDeath or insecure system troubles and slowness or pay through the nose for an OS as *we* do?!!', and I answered...'I use Linux'.
