Hi listers, I am looking for people who have used Power over Ethernet
switches, primarily in conjunction with Polycom IP 501's. I've been
looking at the Linksys SRW224P, since I've had good luck with the
SRW224 in our office. However, Nortel, Cisco, Adtran, etc. all have
an offering, all of which vary in price. I would appreciate any
input people have to offer.
Thanks,
James
First some comments on other posts -
Stay away from the D-Link switches. The admin interface is horrible,
and most only support PoE on half the ports. Plus, most of their stuff
comes configured with a static IP on varying RFC1918 networks -
192.168.3.1, 192.168.10.1, etc, etc. Not a good idea. Plus, in the
$400+ price range they really should have a serial port.
I will never buy managed Netgear switches again. I had two FSM7326Ps
and the flash got corrupted several times, on both of them. The web
interface also had some serious reliability issues, sometimes causing
the switch to reboot, which is of course totally unacceptable.
I have been happy with Cisco (anything), HP 2650s and the Linksys
SRW224P (or whatever it is) for managed PoE. If you have the money (but
not ridiculous, Cisco money) go with the HP. Better warranty, better
interface, better support than Linksys or D-Link. Plus, I think they
give you full 75W per port, as opposed to the SRW224p which can only do
half wattage on all of the ports or full wattage on half the ports
(something like that). It's late in the day (and the week), so you'll
have to cut me some slack!
For the money, the Linksys can't be beat!
