Posted: Mon Aug 13, 2012 1:19 am Post subject: Help me find a good Gigabit switch |
|
|
I have re-routed all my network here at home, so I now use Cat6 cable on all that can be patched up.
A small problem about that is that I have by far run out of ports in my router...
My wish-list:
- A known brand (HP, 3Com, Intel, Cisco, IBM etc.)
- QoS (Quality of Service) support
- Jumbo Frames support
- Minimum 5x Gigabit ports, but would prefer 8
What to chose? _________________ :apple: Mac Mini DualCore i7 :: 2.7GHz :: 2x4GB DDR1867 :: 2x Intel520 240GB SSD for total 480GB :: Radeon HD 6630m :: Dell 2209WA :: Razer Mamba 2012 :: Apple Alu wired US keyboard w/ iSkin ProTouch black :: |

I have looked a little around and found two that looks interesting:
HP 1405-8G v2 unmanaged
or
CIsco 200 Series SLM2008T managed
Personally I like the Cisco most, for instance it have more build in buffer (4MB) than most other switches, also looks like it can do practically everything you could ever want of a a switch.
It's just nagging me, is the HP as good a buy (it's for a Home Network with TV, Mac/PCs, PS3, Sonos, NAS and so on)?? _________________ :apple: Mac Mini DualCore i7 :: 2.7GHz :: 2x4GB DDR1867 :: 2x Intel520 240GB SSD for total 480GB :: Radeon HD 6630m :: Dell 2209WA :: Razer Mamba 2012 :: Apple Alu wired US keyboard w/ iSkin ProTouch black :: |
