Hey Josh,
That's what I thought but I always like getting second opinions from the
"Brain Trust".
BTW, I saw your post regarding remote power modules and I've been thinking
about getting one of those remote power devices.
Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks for your feedback.
Tim

Not really....
I doubt you'll care on a high end switch :) a
low-end one maybe...I think the default now is store
and forward, I never looked to see if this could be
changed since the days of the 1900 series which was
back around 1999 when I got my CCNA.
