Yes the built in power supplies are the way to go.
No I seem to remember the backplane affects all data through the
switch not just when you link it to another switch.
so from google;
the backplane bandwidth
This is the total rate of packet or bit throughput that the switch
can handle through all ports at once. If you have an 8 port 100Mbps
switch, you need a backplane bandwidth of 400Mbps to allow all 4
pairs of ports to talk at the same time
There you go - I didn't know that.
sounds about right.
And you can dumb down certain ports to allow things like echo
cardiograph machines to connect at 10mbps, most of them are kinda
old and refuse to negiotiate with gigabit switches.
- If you don't see the need for managed switches in surgeries, you
ain't looking after big enough surgeries Pete :)
I do have a few where the 24 port switches are overflowing, but I
prefer the smaller ones.
