Would you mind telling us what managed switched you found which was inexpensive?



I thought someone might ask that!

I was reeling fron the sticker shock when I looked at the PoE injector that Snom sell in Europe. 24 ports of DC goodness for £1659.93 !!

Compare this with NetGear's 24 port 10/100 Mbit Layer 3 managed switch with a couple of Gigabit ports and 802.3af PoE and an iPod shuffle for £649.99 retail one off.

And it's blue.  What's not to like ?

jd,

The fact that it is a piece of junk (FSM7326P)! Bought two, both had bad flash after a firmware upgrade (tried one, talked with Netgear and vendor, and tried the other once a replacement was here)... No secondary flash either.

I needed to upgrade the firmware because the switch had MAJOR software and interface bugs to the point where it was unusable on a fairly standard corporate network with LACP, GVRP, 802.1p/q, etc.

As a matter of fact, I have nothing positive to say about them whatsoever (although I think they do run Linux, which is neat, I guess).

I am sure some people have had success with them, I just haven't heard about it!

I am somewhat interested in Dell's new offerings of 24 and 48 port PoE switches, I would love to try those out...

P.S. - They're really more of a purple, at least here in the US...

That's a shame. I've always had a lot of respect for NetGear - all of their stuff has just worked for me in the past. Do you think they just released it before the code was ready, or do you think it's irretrievable ?
