 ACK. This is I think most common grief about 3750/3550. And it puzzles me,
does someone actually buy cat4k only because of this? Since my
argumentation is that people just bite the bullet, take the risk and
do not buy a bigger box, so Cisco wouldn't loose anything by having
models with dual AC/DC PSU's.
 And while at it same goes to IS-IS, people just angrily accept the
IS-IS/OSPF redist on the next box and do not buy bigger box. I guess
IS-IS support for 3750 is one #define away, pfft.
