<DIV>Unfortunately<SPAN class=935473008-17092008></SPAN> this is a big
drawback of Extreme. Basically the only thing that exists <SPAN
class=935473008-17092008>(</SPAN>as far as I know<SPAN
class=935473008-17092008>)</SPAN>, i<SPAN class=935473008-17092008>s</SPAN>
what´s listed below.<SPAN class=935473008-17092008> As you mentioned, Cisco
has a ton of good examples of real life problems with solutions in
different type of network designs. Extreme has ..... the config guide ... and
command reference, and some error decoder document ...and some case studies
that only really says "hey look how good/fast our stuff is compared to
Cisco"</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=935473008-17092008></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=935473008-17092008>Extreme should really put some effort into
expanding their documentation as Cisco has done so well.</SPAN></DIV>
