RE: HSRP availability in datacenters?

["Randal Kohutek" <nanog () data102 com>]

No, in fact those are very interesting as they're a stop-gap between 3750s
and 4500s at a good price per port.  Are there any HSRP limitations on them?
Guess I need to do some more research, as those are pretty hot.

Thanks for the heads up, we'll definitely take a closer look.

Regards,
Randal
