negligible – not a bad effort given the ambient can be up to 48 degrees, with temperatures in some cabinets being up to another 20-25 degrees on top of that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Planing to to use Cisco IE4000 series industrial ethernet switches for a large client in QLD. Wondering any one on the list would like to share first hand experience to use these switches in a
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">rugged environment. Requirements are simple and stable running state of L3 features like OSPFv3, multi-chassis etherchannel and IOS based ACL.

cabinet, DC power and varying ambient temperature of -10 to 45 degree C.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
