Bryan,
Thanks. OK, I'll ignore STP and leave it with you and the other IT Pros!
Still reading about SNMP and how it relates to my NAS. Have not used
it (I believe) yet, and don't plan to loose sleep about it anyway. The
LAN runs just fine here.
Best,
Duncan

STP is only needed if you are hooking many switches/routers together to prevent loops. SNMP is used to
obtain metrics/statistics from networking hardware ( or servers ).

Greg,
Thank you. These are 2 protocols I am still grappling with.
I have noise with SNMP (?). Do not know about STP yet....
Still reading......
My "2716's" do me fine ATM (un-managed).... :)

If STP and SNMP are important to you, yes...but I can't imagine a situation

Greg,
So,...
.....you believe the 2816 is really worth the ~$90 extra freight?
Interesting! Really.

Yes, and unlike the 2700 series, the 2800 series supports STP/RSTP and
SNMP.
That was my biggest complaint for an otherwise solid inexpensive basic
switch. We just moved to a big Catalyst 3750 stack at work (needed
something
stackable and PoE), so unfortunately I'll be stuck with over a dozen
2724's
for "other" duties for some time.
