Once the appropriate management decides that a feature like this is a top priority, Cisco surely has the resources to get it implemented into IOS code, and tested, in perhaps 3 months and no less than 6 months. They clearly have other priorities. We need to push this one ahead, to the top. I'd even settle for having the function w/o a way to turn it off as an interim if the holdup is deciding how to make it configurable. We should all ask our Cisco sales people if "default auto-inbound-filter" will be in all shipped IOS versions by, say, 2Q98. If they can't say "yes" then grill 'em and leave the impression you'll be looking at other products in 2Q98. And if you have Ascend sales people calling, ask 'em the same thing. Same for anyone else. For example I have a 3com salesman constantly checking up on how happy I am with my Ascend MAX's. I know what I'll be asking him on his next phone call. -- Phil Howard | [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] phil | [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] at | [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] milepost | [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] dot | [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] com | [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
