Cisco EnergyWise: Too costly for the used Cisco gear market?
Cisco's EnergyWise, its free IOS software upgrade that will allow Catalyst switches to manage the energy consumption of networked IP devices - and eventually building system assets - will not be available to customers of used or refurbished Cisco switches. Such customers would have to purchase a Relicense for Used Equipment license to take advantage of EnergyWise, writes Brad Reese in his blog. Since the cost of inspection and relicense is apparently cost-prohibitive, Reese is wondering whether that would kill the thriving Cisco secondary market. Doesn't that depend on how crucial customers consider EnergyWise to be. Read more.

I'm going to start a series of a few more OSPF posts with a bit of a puzzle. It's not exactly like an exam question, but it'll maybe generate some thought. The initial parts will be like a complex CCNA topic, and then morph into a level you'd expected in CCNP.

Jeff Doyle on IP Routing: Why you and your CFO speak different languages
The CFO wants to hear an answer such as, “We are 85% certain that this project will reduce the network risk by 30%, resulting in an annual savings of $175,000 over the next five years.” You’re used to measuring something and deriving a definite number in which you are 100% confident. You can’t put a definite number around “risk reduction.”
