Re: Rack rails on network equipment

We don’t care. We rack up switches maybe once or twice a year. It’s just not worth the effort to streamline. If we were 
installing dozens of switches a month, maybe. But personally I think it’s crazy to make rackability your primary reason 
for choosing a switch vendor. Do you base your automobile purchase decision on how easy it is to replace windshield 
wipers?
