Eugene, Re -- G/Web UI vs command line... The issue is not wether one is better than the other, or wether some section of administrators prefer one over the other, these are a matter of taste and various other factors, undoubtedly each has its own advantages (percieved or real). The issue is wether a well designed UI such as the Web i/f can negate some of the advantages of IOS (both marketing and real). Furthermore capablity of having a command line i/f and automated script execution, is part of any well designed UI, if there are legacy considerations. Heres an article which says that CSCO is also providing a web style managment for desktop switches. infoworld.com Anyway enough on this topic until some other points on this issue crops up, Stockman
