We use multiple Cisco SG100D-08P eight-port POE unmanaged switches
with each located close to the end users, often on their desks.  These
devices are relatively cheap, seem to work well, and provide four POE
ports plus four standard Ethernet ports.  We find that this
arrangement works for two or three employee work centres on each
switch.

So, it is a Cisco solution which you deprecate. However, it does work
and it is both inexpensive and flexible.  If distributing power from a
central location over Ethernet is an absolute requirement then these
probably are not what you want.

Unless it runs IOS, I don't think most of us would consider that box a Cisco  
 Likely it is a Cisco branded switch with Linksys hardware, i.e. consumer grade 
stuff.

Yes, that is one of the former Linksys branded switches, now labeled as
Cisco Small Business.

I've used quite a few in small business installs. They work well, are
unmanaged, and inexpensive.

They work well in small business.  They have a command line that looks and
feels like IOS, though I have no idea if it is or not.

Note that there is a confirmed bug with LLDP and auto-VLAN on the SF/SG
switches and I haven't heard that they fixed it.  If you have phones with
CDP, or manually provision VLANs, or don't use VLANs, then no problem.
 They work great and are reliable.

Re: [asterisk-users] PoE L3 Switches

2013-07-15 Thread jg
I have a few TP-LINK TL-SF1008P and D-Link DGS-1008P running in office environments, but I 
prefer the D-Link DGS-1210-10P (with fan) at a central location if the cable lengths permit it.


A couple of years ago I had 2 broken Netgear devices that ran about half a year, but I cannot 
say anything about the current models.

I've used a lot of Dlink DES-1228p and 1210-28p. Primarily with polycom phones. 
Seem to have pretty good luck with them for the last 7 years or so.

+1. We've used quite a few DES-1228P units in the past, and apart from 2 
early unit failures, we've not had any failures since (out of a few dozen).


The management interface isn't great, especially if you're used to the 
command line goodness of an HP or Cisco unit, but provided you aren't 
fiddling with it too often, you'll manage.


Kind regards,

Chris
