[TriLUG] OT - gigabit switches

[Jim Ray]

Last one I deployed was cisco# WS-C2960-24TT-L.  We bolted up the two
gigabit ports to the server and run 100 Mbps to clients.

I never read the sales literature.  Instead, I called to ask what they
recommended and picked up the product line.

Regards,

Jim

Given that the sales literature will do it's best to camouflage this fact,
any suggestions how I would tell the difference?

TIA,
Chris
