Re: [Asterisk-Users] cheap gig switch? smc, netgear, or 3com?

Remember, you pay for what you get.. especially with Dell networking 
equipment. I have heard about several groups who tried the dell switches 
only to give up on them because the dell switches just didn't perform. 
Yes, price-wise they look good.. but as far as performance goes.. (that 
is assuming you want high/solid performance) I'd look elsewhere.

Best value in gig switches right now is Dell.  Go to Dell Small
Business and keep an eye out for some deals.  They have a pretty good
one going on now for their 2000 series.

*Not affiliated with dell.. their 16 port and 24 port are a great buy. :)

I have one of these, works great but failed about 6 months into it's
life, was replaced on the spot (in Australia (I'm originally from there)
but you had to drive it to them with the original receipt for the
handover).
Does anyone know if this is a worldwide warranty? Has anyone in NY tried
to claim? Where was it etc?
Cheers,

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] cheap gig switch? smc, netgear, or 3com?
Hello,
The Smc 8508T goes for about $95, jumbo frame support,
lifetime warranty but no QOS.  The Netgear GS608 is $ 100,
no jumbo frames, 1 year warranty, QOS, gig latency 10U max.
The 3com switch reviews that I read were not happy.  Does
anyone hate or love their home switch?
I doubt the jumbo frame support would help voip traffic,
but it seems like it wouldn't hurt.  I was planning on
doing the QOS on linux.  Gig support is wanted for file
transfers and the future.  Thanks to all you nice asterisk
people and a few of the mean ones.
Jay
