Sorry, I can't really offer you an answer there. I would never introduce Dlink into my network, but I support a lot of users and have a complex network.
I would "think" the functional parts should be the same for managed switches though... -----Original Message----- From: Lum, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2003 11:08 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Showing my switch ignorance...is there a big functional difference between a cheaper D-Link and other layer 2 managed switches? I could probably sell them on upgrading to a $400 D-Link if I credited the price of their old one towards the new one, dunno that I could justify it to my personal satisfaction though.

Although, it should be able to auto-negotiate. However, it "is" a Linksys and I'd be reluctant to buy one for home use.... As for what point I would recommend a managed switch, it's a tough call. With limited budgets, pros and cons must be addressed. But you as the consultant need to be able to back it up and provide details as to why they need certain features. I myself, get managed switches anytime I can. It saves a lot of heartache in most cases.... ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
