I guess I should mention that I'm a reseller...so I wont be ordering
from tigerdirect or anything, it's just that I haven't used any of these
low end POE switches before and I don't like trying things out on
clients without at least getting a recommendation ;)
The same problem exits with that netgear as with the linksys (not just
the price), a 24 port switch for an office with 3 phones is overkill...I
think an 8 port would give them enough room to add a few more desks. As
for needing gigabit, I suppose not they do move some large files around
but it's just that gigabit is very cheap in the small switches so it's
'why not'. Of course why not because they don't have POE is a good
answer...but 3x55$ for the D-Link P200's and 1x79$ for a 8 port gigabit
linksys switch is cheaper than these giant 24 port switches (which are
just gigabit uplink...which would probably be ok to use for the server
and then 100Mb to the clients).
Bleh, I guess in about a year they'll have what I want for the price I
want...in the mean time I'm going to have to settle.

In such a small install not sure how much Gigabit your going to need,
but if it is a concern take a look at the NetGear 24 port that
TigerDirect has at CA$381. Is 24 10/100port, 12 w POE and 2 Gigabit
coper plus 2 GBIC slots.

Also right now they have a special to get either a IPod Nano or a
NetGear Storage Central( until Jun30 )

That looks not bad but once I get up near that price range I can get
a Linksys SRW224P and propose the cost difference because of the
gigabit + QOS etc etc; But I don't want to oversell. I'm still
wondering if maybe the three POE injectors from D-Link + a Linksys 5
port or 8 port gigabit workgroup switch wouldn't be a more sound
decision.
Thanks,

Take a look at Netgear, they may have something, Mark.

Evening,
Just wondering if there is a more economical way to do POE in a SOHO
environment (3 phones) other than using the D-Link DWL-P200 modules
on each phone. I was looking for low end POE enabled switches from
Linksys and D-Link and didn't see any...before I go ahead and order
the DWL-P200's does anyone know of a small 8 port POE switch in the
$175-250 range that I overlooked, preferably with gigabit (wow I'm
asking a lot for a little ;) ).
Thanks,
Chad
