Sounds neato-esque. Two /28's instead of 4 /30's will simplify things
a lot (I can't ever remember the 4 networks we currently have, and
we don't have any network diagrams that I know of).
Speaking of routers, we (UCS) relegated another AGS+ into our spare
parts catalogue yesterday. There are but two left - reynaldo, who
already lives with his replacement; and hacienda. We got so bored
waiting for departments to upgrade to 100Meg (and hence onto the
switchces which replace the AGS+'s), that an authorization appeared to
purchase enough 10M media converters to move everyone at nedlands campus
across to improve network stability.
Its a bit like the Itchy & Scratchy Land baby room, except its filled
with transceivers instead of balls.
"The cable rats look unhappy."
"Add more transceivers."
