... and broadcasts the password in plain text. No kidding. If you have a Windows machine where you can install the admin tool, and you don't have to access the management interface while other devices are plugged in (i.e. you're planning a static VLAN setup and an interruption of service to reprogram the switch is okay for you), then you can buy those, too. Just beware of these ugly limitations. The five-port model (GS105E) is nice as long as you can deal with the limitations. Gigabit, compact form factor, nice to have in your admin laptop bag, for example. There are even mods to run it from a battery pack. -Stefan _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
