[WISPA] ethernet switches, again
I know this has come up from time to time but I need to ask again. Here's what I'm looking for. Cheapish. I have 20 plus sites out there so I need to watch the budget on this. I don't want too cheap though, more inexpensive than cheap. I need the ability to force all traffic to an uplink port. In other words I don't want any traffic from ap 1 to get to ap2 without first going through the router. But, I need the ability to plug my laptop into a port that can still get to all other ports. I also want to be able to block all broadcast traffic and non ip traffic if I can. 5 port and 8 port versions would do the trick. They have to be good quality and not blow with every lightning storm that comes along. What would you guys use? And don't say ebay, I don't know enough about what I'm doing with them yet, I want the ability to call the factory for tech support. thanks, Marlon (509) 982-2181 (408) 907-6910 (Vonage)Consulting services 42846865 (icq)WISP Operator since 1999!

Mikrotik has the RB150 (5 ethernet ports) which can be had for around $100 with power supply and case. They will soon release the 190 (not sure the part number), which will be less than $150 complete and have 9 ethernet ports. I want the ability to call the factory for tech support. Well, umm...maybe Mikrotik is not the answer. :-) -- Butch Evans Network Engineering and Security Consulting 573-276-2879 http://www.butchevans.com/ My calendar: http://tinyurl.com/y24ad6 Training Partners: http://tinyurl.com/smfkf Mikrotik Certified Consultant http://www.mikrotik.com/consultants.html WISPA Wants You!

RE: [WISPA] ethernet switches, again
Dang Marlon - sounds like you need a routed (Dynamic or the real ugly word STATIC) network :-) I use VLAN tagging and Linksys (SRW208) switches at my towers in small outdoor (non vented) enclosures. I haven't lost but 1 due to lightning in the last year, but then I lost everything on the tower. We also use the APC surge protectors in a small rack mount box (holds 4 ethernet surge protectors) http://www.provantage.com/linksys-srw208~7LNKW01T.htm (switch) http://www.provantage.com/apc-pnetr5~7AMPN04K.htm (RJ45 surge module) http://www.provantage.com/apc-prm4~7AMPQ02L.htm (Module box) GL, Mac -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marlon K.

RE: [WISPA] ethernet switches, again
You could use a Mikrotik RB532 with a 564 db, that'll get you to about 20mbps. Or, you could go the Mikrotik RB192 route, I think they will have 9 ethernet ports. The RB 150's have 5 ports. Then there is this too. http://www.demarctech.com/products/reliawave-rwo/reliawave-snmp24b.html Thanks, Russ Kreigh Network Engineer OnlyInternet.Net Broadband Wireless Supernova Technologies Office: (800) 363-0989 Direct: (260) 827-2486 Fax:(260) 824-9624 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oibw.net -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mac Dearman Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2007 4:04 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: RE: [WISPA] ethernet switches, again Dang Marlon - sounds like you need a routed (Dynamic or the real ugly word STATIC) network :-) I use VLAN tagging and Linksys (SRW208) switches at my towers in small outdoor (non vented) enclosures.

RB192. I have received pricing on it from Electro-Comm, waiting for my preferred vendors to step up. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: Butch Evans [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2007 2:09 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] ethernet switches, again On Tue, 7 Aug 2007, Marlon K.

RE: [WISPA] ethernet switches, again
Yeah, I've heard that also. And I've got some good numbers going computer to computer through a RB532 with the Btest tool. However, our real world experience has been sadly different.
