Just for the record. All the 3com stuff is actually huawei/3com (h3c) and afaik all the black switches are still that tech. 3600 5500 5700 5800 5900 7500 10500 series are all that and run a ios descendant from Huawei. And they rock if you bother to learn them. They are way better then the cisco equivalent and cheaper.
As for the Q you had originally. A netgear pro switch or cisco linksys switches would do fine. Get a managed one of some sort. The web managed ones will get you the basics. If you want something good and cheap buy a used cisco 3560g or 2960g. -lsf 23. sep. 2014 20:05 skrev "Adam Thompson" <athom...@athompso.net> følgende: > +1 for HP ProCurve, except for the stuff they inherited from 3Com... > I've also had reasonably good luck with Netgear and D-Link managed > switches. > The Cisco SMB stuff seems OK hardware-wise, but the software is > questionable. > Note that all three of these options come with lifetime, free, firmware > updates. > -Adam > > On September 23, 2014 12:56:00 PM CDT, Chris Bagnall < > pfse...@lists.minotaur.cc> wrote: >> >> On 23/9/14 6:46 pm, RB wrote: >> >>> I'd suggest at least a managed switch that can do LACP. >>> >> >> This. >> >> Given how small the price difference often is between unmanaged and >> semi-managed (aka 'smart') switches these days, it just doesn't make >> sense to buy unmanaged any more.
