The hub itself might not fail, but it would be one more thing that should be on a UPS. We had a five-hour power outage last night and learned the hard way about the holes in our "disaster recovery" plan. In our case, we do have our main hub on a UPS but the darn UPS failed. That hub is in a crucial spot in the topology. It brought everything down.
Regarding SPAN, are we saying that neither SPAN or port mirroring works on the 2948G-L3? That's awfully strange. Is it because it's really a router??
