Hello, My experience with smart switches is at minimum not good they sometimes block, they need programming, I had an experience with a dell smart switch that blocks the entire network of servers when a set of diskless stations boots, the only solution is to make it dumber. finally we changed that one for about 3 cisco gigabit 48 ports dumb switches and never ever heard about network problems again...

I have one of that model, and if you reset to factory defaults it should act as a dumb switch. There are some options that could be set that would interfere with operation (flow control, port negotiation, etc) but I am confident that none are set in the factory default configuration.
