At least the HP has a lifetime warranty, where that 2924 will just go into the trash when it fails. :-) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org

I'd really like to know, was this one of the old ProCurve models, or one of the old 3Com/H3C models?

The 2924 replaced the HP again temporarily, ironically... it's the last 2924 I own, used to have a bunch of them and they've all died except that one, and of the bunch of HPs I have in various places (16xx, 1800, 24xx, 25xx, 4000, 53xx), this is the first HP switch I've ever lost (knock on wood). The one that failed is a 1800-24G, cheapest managed 24 port gig switch they make. I bought a E2510G-24 to replace it, will use the 1800-24G replacement somewhere less critical. Though I know our customers have at least 10 of those in production networks and this is the first one I've heard of failing, I feel better with the enterprise-class switch in the datacenter. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org

FWIW, I used to sell a lot of HP ProCurve gear; the only switches of theirs I ever had to return were 1800-series switches (and _one_ 2524, IIRC). A very small proportion, to be sure, effectively zero warranty service rate compared to Cisco, but relatively speaking... I suspect it has to do with the fanless design being slightly less robust - IMHO, anyway. -Adam - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org

Umm, I'm not sure - I recall we were selling the brand-new (some models were fanless) 1GbE "web-smart" switch (no CLI), in 2006. So whichever one that was... I think I remember they came in odd sizes, including a 16- or 18-port version, not sure if my memory is accurate there or not. It's quite possible we just had issues with some of the first manufacturing batches, as these switches had just been introduced. And of course, a "high" failure rate for ProCurve switches still translates to WAY more reliable than most other brands! I can't think of a single Cisco-using customer who hasn't had several port failures, but I can think of several 15- to 20-year HP users who have never had a port, or module, or switch fail. Linksys switches seem to be average, NetGear switches seem to be slightly better than average. I think if a manufacturer is willing to provide a lifetime warranty, that tells you it's made fairly well. -Adam - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org

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: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
