You're probably onto something there. To my surprise, the replacement is the exact same model, and completely identical with one exception - it has a different side piece on one side, and a fan. A noisy one at that unfortunately even by managed switch standards. I was going to replace one of the switches in the rack next to my desk with it, it's probably a bit too noisy for that though. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
