I didn't think about the connection to the copper MICE switch but that is a good point as well. What are your thoughts on the MICE x-conn? jay ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

Re: Fiber switch for CNS space

CNS would provide the SFPs for the Gig connections. However, we would ask the participants who request 10Gig to provide the X2 optics. We'll provide 10Gig modules for CNS and the State of Minnesota. I'm not sure what you mean by the "carrier optic"? Do you mean the cross-connect from FWR? If so, we would expect the participant to provide that. Or, do you mean the connection to the copper MICE switch?

Fiber switch for CNS space

by Steve Howard

Hello, We are thinking about purchasing a Cisco Catalyst 3560-E 3560E-12D switch for the fiber switch for the MICE project. It has 12 x 10Gig ports. The 10 Gig ports support the TwinGig adapter which can be used to convert a 10Gig port to 2 x 1Gig (SFP). That should give us plenty of fiber connection options (for now). We use these at various locations and they have worked out pretty well (other than the silly 1000 multicast route limitation). Any thoughts or concerns with this switch? Thanks, Steve ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

Welcome everyone!

by Mike Horwath

Hiya and welcome to the mailing lists! Not much happening YET. Dan, Jay, and I will be meeting soon (possibly tomorrow, still working out schedules) and I think we are having the next big meeting around September 15th, 2010 but I don't think a venue has been aquired yet. Need space for 15-20 people (minimum, there are new people who now know of this group that didn't before), and refreshments of course. Mike of FWR took care of us last time (thanks pal!) over at Grumpy's. Other ideas? I am all down for Grumpy's again if someone can reserve the room for us once more time (cause I suck at that) - it worked out pretty well, and there is a staage we could easily abuse if we have enough people to warrant it. And unless someone in my office barks, I'll cover this round of the event via ipHouse. -- Mike Horwath ipHouse - Welcome home! drechsau(a)iphouse.net The universe is an island, surrounded by whatever it is that surrounds universes. - Berkeley Fortune ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1
