Cisco delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet to the closet

27.12.2005

Bottom Line: I couldn't make it cry uncle. Paired with the Cisco 4506, the Supervisor Engine II-Plus-10GE delivered wire-rate 10-Gig switching and quite granular QoS support for the edge in a switch with substantial port density. The lack of local Web management is a given for Cisco, but the use of Cisco's Network Assistant can mitigate that drawback. All told, lots of bang in a little bundle.
