I was shopping for some 4300 routers today and noticed that you need to buy an extra license to make your Cisco 4300 routers go faster. I think a 4321 is throttled at 50Mb but for around $1000 you can get it to go 100Mb (prices vary, cheapest I saw was 600ish).
That seems kind of stupid to me. Is it just a money-grab or is there a plausible justification somewhere that I'm not thinking of? I know this isn't new, but it's kind of new to me.
Side issue, what's with the crappy power brick for the routers? Are they short of real estate in the enclosure? It doesn't seem very enterprisey and it's not very rack-friendly. Maybe it's not regarded as an enterprise level product.
