I'd have to second that. This is a very annoying fact, that you will find mentioned nowhere. What I also used to dislike is the lack of verbosity of 'show features' - but that was back a year ago. Btw, you absolutely want to avoid the S series, the CLI is a pain, and is not the same as the E or C series, and lacks many features. Price/10G port is interesting though, but not as much as with Arastra, if that's switching you're into. (never tested any such kits though...)
My own 2 cents. Greg VILLAIN
