No one ever got fired for selecting Cisco. A 2848 from HP will work just fine. As many have said before free tech support for life on all HP switches is hard to beat.
From: David Lloyd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2008 11:15 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Network switch problem? Hi all, I have a problem I believe with my network switch. It is a Dell model (power connect) which cost around £600. It has 48 GBit ports and I always lose web access to it within a couple of weeks of re-booting it. In addition, I had some network issues recently in terms of user performance. Reports of very slow internet downloads etc. Moreover, I noticed after I rebooted it users said things where better. I also notice when I attempt to copy a big file (5GB >) it will sometimes say the destination server is unavailable and cancel the copy. I have no solid proof that it is the switch that is causing the issues, but that is my gut feeling. I'm ready to Replace it with something a little better... Any recommendations?
