[WISPA] Recommend Managed Switch
I am trying to set up a VLAN trunk between our office and tower over a 60ghz gigabit link. I want to have all the tower APs and backhauls plugged in to a port at the tower and have them show up on a matching port in the office, one VLAN per port. I tried to do this with one of the new Mikrotik CRS but the configuration is incredibly clunky and I can't get it working. They also seem to be missing a few key features like STP. I need a switch that has: tag/untag traffic on access ports run STP/RSTP on two trunk ports for a primary and backup wireless link 1 or preferably more SFP ports (gigabit link is fiber interface) min 16 copper gige ports outdoor temperature rated prefer runs on DC power Any suggestions? I've not done much with managed switches and VLANs before, so no idea what is out there.

Re: [WISPA] Recommend Managed Switch
Not sure if it's outdoor temp rated, but for the price of an HP 1810-24G v2 (around $250), you really can't go wrong.

Re: [WISPA] Recommend Managed Switch
These all look like indoor switches to me, are they OK at -20 or -30 C? Was hoping for outdoor rated and DC power, this box already has 24v and 48v power. My issue with the CRS is it only apparently supports STP on a bridge interface which is CPU throughput limited. Also the switch functionality seems about half finished currently.

We've been running a Cisco WC2955T-12 outside in an unheated enclosure (Northern New Mexico) for about three years with a hiccup. It is only has twelve ports, but is 24 VDC and good to -10C. Also has a DIN mount. Think I found it used on line for about $800.

Re: [WISPA] Recommend Managed Switch
Heat source? We use a UPS. The enclosures are cold, but not as cold as the outside air and we have not had a problem using indoor rated Cisco switches (even in our recent -19 weather). We do use fans for cooling during other seasons. But, we have had fans die and open the box to discover an estimated 110-130 degree weather while the switches kept on humming along. Not recommended, but that has been our experience. In fact, I do not recall a single Cisco switch going bad at a tower site using this setup, just one or two ports. All these switches have been ebay buys.
