These devices, which can be standalone switches or integrated into a blade on an enterprise class switch, are useful for the management and control of WLAN access points. Although their deployment is a relatively new phenomenon, such control and configuration functions have existed before in WLAN controller devices.
Elephant garlic (Allium ampeloprasum) is the source of much confusion and the issue of elephant vs normal size garlic is one with a counter-intuitive outcome. Many people are attracted to elephant garlic and buy it simply because of its size. They assume that it must be more strongly flavoured than ordinary variety.
WHAT IS ELEPHANT GARLIC? The name refers to its elephantine size, which can seem eye-poppingly huge at first glance, being twice as large as regular garlic. But though its bulb-shape may look familiar, Elephant Garlic is closer in origin to the garden leek than true garlic, with a reassuringly mild, palatable flavour. Like garlic, the vast bulb is made up of big, individual cloves, which, despite their supersized structure, have a surprisingly mellow taste. Although some fans like to eat Elephant Garlic raw, slicing the cloves finely into salads, as you might chives or spring onions, we think it is best enjoyed cooked.
