Our company have hub(netgear ds524) with 24 ports populated by 2 servers and 3 printers and rest is clients. The fans are going out so while l'm replacing the fans I need backup/ upgrade solution. Preferring a switch with 48 ports. More ports to have some space and switch to improve traffic on the network vs hub. Budged 100$ ( not whole lot but it will do)
One Linux server and one Unix server get the most traffic from clients. Unix get lot of local connections and linux both local and wan connections from local backups and web page requests. about 20 Windows based client are connecting+wan clients. I have no hands-on experience witch switches of mentioned size. looking in something like this: 3COM 3C17302-US SuperStack or this: http://cgi.ebay.com/3COM-3CR17501-91-48-Port-10-100-Ethernet-Switch_W0QQitemZ260525575905QQihZ016QQcategoryZ51268QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D4%26ps%3D63 There is lot of Cisco switches available.Wonder what it takes to configure them for just basic network switching. Current set up is simple: internet cloud>router>hub>{servers,printers,clients} Thank you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
