Not gonna debate about terminology as word "cloud" have now a days another meaning. But most people know what I mean.
I can get 48 port hub for less than HUNDRED DOLLARS.(ebay... 75.+ship....)http://cgi.ebay.com/3COM-3CR17501-91-48-Port-10-100- Ethernet- Switch_W0QQitemZ260525575905QQihZ016QQcategoryZ51268QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo %3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D4%26ps%3D63 And what I was asking is the configuration of for example cisco switches. Is that hard to do for guy that can configure routers/subnets and another common devices with no problem. I know cisco have CLI of some sort or is that also web based interface like on home-owner type routers. I know how hub works and advantages compare to hub. The question is do I have to learn CLI/proprietary set up on switches or is that straight forward configuration? For now I replaced the fan on the hub i have now and will wait to get more expensive poe switch that will support poe surveillance. But the question about general configuration stays open. Thank you Com on you know what I mean.Will I have to google all up or will it make sense to configure it when I log in to device.
