[tech] Probable equipment free for UCC

[Grahame Bowland]

Hi guys

We have a Nortel Accelar 1100-B with 16 100Mb ethernet ports. It's been taken 
off the asset register today as it is faulty, redundant and obsolete.

We're not able to sell it as it loses packets on some of the interfaces and we 
were unable to reach a resolution for this.

However, I suspect it's still fine to put into the UCC network. Most of the 
ports work and it is a reasonably fast switch-router. It'd definitely make a 
neat replacement for hydra: the IP routing could be done on the accelar and 
the Appletalk done on hydra via a VLAN trunk.

Even if just run as a switch, it supports 802.1q so VLAN stuff to hydra would 
work. Of course it's fully managed, etc so you can get pretty MRTG graphs and 
the works.

Is UCC interested? I have to figure out how to clobber the configuration, then 
I can bring it over tommorow night.

Cheers
Grahame
