    Greed is a nasty thing. It will send this guy up the river for 4 years and likely will get him deported. Note to self: If the contract states genuine Cisco products. Knockoffs don't count!

    Saudi man who lives in Sugar Land was sentenced to federal prison for supplying counterfeit Cisco Systems Inc. computer parts to the Marine Corps in Iraq.

    Ehab Ali Ashoor, 49, was sentenced to four years and three months in prison after he was convicted at trial in January, federal authorities announced today.

    Ashoor also was ordered to pay $119,400 restitution to Cisco.

    He also is subject to deportation after he serves his sentence.

    Federal officials said Ashoor bought counterfeit Cisco Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs) from an on-line vendor in China to satisfy a contract he had with the Marine Corps to deliver genuine Cisco parts.

    According to the evidence introduced at his trial, Ashoor, through his company CDS Federal Inc., was awarded a contract to supply 200 Cisco GBICs to the Marine Corps to be used in their computer network at a base in Al Taqaddum, Iraq, federal officials said.

    Federal authorities said the contract specifically stated the GBICs had to be genuine Cisco products.

    But Ashoor bought 200 GBICs from a Hong Kong vendor off eBay for approximately $25 each and told the vendor he wanted them to be in Cisco packaging, federal officials said.

    Federal authorities said his contract called for Ashoor to be paid $595 per GBIC for a total contract price of $119,000.

    In attempting to satisfy the contract with counterfeit products, Ashoor paid only $5,500 for the 200 counterfeit Cisco GBICs from China, federal officials said.

    So when you jump between different SSIDs on your WLC are you noticing a delay connecting right away to the new SSID? If you answered, YES.... Do you have fast ssid enabled?

    When fast SSID changing is enabled, the controller allows clients to move between SSIDs quicker. When the client sends a new association for a different SSID, the client entry in the controller connection table is cleared before the client is added to the new SSID.

    When fast SSID changing is disabled, the controller enforces a delay before clients are allowed to move to a new SSID.

     

    Keep in mind this is a global setting.

     

    CLI COMMAND:

    config network fast-ssid-change {enable | disable}

     

    GUI COMMAND:

    Step 1 Choose Controller to open the General page.
    Step 2 From the Fast SSID Change drop-down box, choose Enabled to enable this feature or Disabled to disable it. The default value is disabled.
    Step 3 Click Apply to commit your changes.
    Step 4 Click Save Configuration to save your changes.
