even ping themselves. No telnet, ssh, http or snmp. Nothing.
My core FI1500 has an arp entry for the management ip interface...but I can't
reach them. Foundry is completely stumped, I have a developer coming
onsite to check them out. But I'm honestly trying to get them to take them
back and give me some of the new FI X series in return.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
