Re: [H] 16 Port GB Switch
Bryan, Thanks. OK, I'll ignore STP and leave it with you and the other IT Pros! Still reading about SNMP and how it relates to my NAS. Have not used it (I believe) yet, and don't plan to loose sleep about it anyway. The LAN runs just fine here.

Re: [H] 16 Port GB Switch
Yes. I am a big fan, and own 2 Dell 2716 GBit switches. Both are so much better that the Netgear 10/100 switches they replaced. My Brother still only does 10/100, but even it seems spritlier on the Dell switches. I gladly give the 2716's 5 STARS. http://www.dell.com/us/en/gen/networking/pwcnt_2716/pd.aspx?refid=pwcnt_2716&s=gen You can even "manage" them if you choose to! I do not.

Re: [H] 16 Port GB Switch
I second the HP Pro Curve recommendation. The lifetime warranty is amazing. Unmanaged: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833316077&cm_re=procurve-_-33-316-077-_-Product Nicely managed (expensive): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833316044&cm_re=procurve-_-33-316-044-_-Product And web managed...: http://www.macmall.com/p/4118824?source=mwbfroogle&dpno=7253183 I have used a combination of the managed and web managed switches. If you only need basic vlan support, the web managed will work (I have used the 1800-8g quite a bit), the fully managed is simpler to configure in a full environment, and does virtual stacking, etc. Harr Naushad Zulfiqar wrote: > HP pro curve.
