Re: [WISPA] Small Managed Switches
Some of their better managed switches do these things. Perhaps it's an incentive for people to who value those features to go upmarket a little. I do love their switches. I mostly buy used ones. I think the 26xx series can allow you to label ports. All the telnet/snmp manageable ones allow naming VLANs. All the telnet/snmp ones allow enabling/disabling ports. As far as port and vlan labeling, a database could be built to keep track of that stuff. So you just pull up the switch in your php/mysql custom display and it will show you all the ports their the labeling and vlan names.

Ryan, I agree with your second statement but my statement is correct according to the dictionary: compatible/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [kuhm-pat-uh-buhl] Show IPA –adjective 1. capable of existing or living together in harmony: the most compatible married couple I know. 2. able to exist together with something else: Prejudice is not compatible with true religion. 3. consistent; congruous (often fol. by with): His claims are not compatible with the facts. 4. Computers. a. (of software) capable of being run on another computer without change. b. (of hardware) capable of being connected to another device without the use of special equipment or software. 5. Electronics. (of a device, signal, etc.) capable of being used with equipment in a system without the need for special modification or conversion. 6. noting a system of television in which color broadcasts can be received on ordinary sets in black and white. –noun 7. something, as a machine or piece of electronic equipment, that is designed to perform the same tasks as another, often in the same way and using virtually identical parts, programmed instructions, etc.: Software written for one computer will probably run on its close compatibles. -RickG On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 1:30 PM, Ryan Spott rsp...@cspott.com wrote: It's not a compatibility issue, it is a should and shall issue.

Re: [WISPA] Small Managed Switches
There are several classes of VLAN switches. I'll use SMC as an example... 1) They have the higher end models that are Full VLAN support that are very intuitive and fully flexible. For example, they'll allow you to label each port in web interface. They fully refer to each ports specifying their Egress and Ingress VLAn support, etc. They allow every thing to be done. But because they are intuitive, in the web interface itself, its easy to configure them without accidentally misconfiguring another clients. They make great switches that will act as both Trunk backbone switches and end location switches. 2) then they have lower end model. They let one do almost everything with VLAN. But they are way less intuitive. And they dont work as well for dual purpose, and tend to work better as a backbone or end location switch. They lack abilty to label ports.They have confusing terminology to enable or disable like VLAN Aware that may not be specific on what VLAN functionality is enabled by making it aware. It usually takes a quick read of the manual before making a config, because the logic is not straight forward. Many Web Switches are like this. SMC and Intellinet have affordable 8 port VLAN switches that are functional, but with the firmware that is equivellent to low end VLAN switches as described in #2 above. But I beleive both have text, SNMP, serial, and Web interfaces, which give them a step up over other basic web switch products. Both models sell under $200, and have atleast 2 Gigabit ports, possibly SPF ports. I just wish someone made a 8 port VLAN switch for the low dollar cost, that had the HIGH END INTUITIVE VLAN firmware, that allowed each port to be labled in software.

Re: [WISPA] Small Managed Switches
This is my main complaint with the 1800-8G and the 1800-24G I've asked procurve to add these 3 features and got a standard we'll think about it answer. 1. Ability to label ports 2. Ability to label vlans 3. Ability to disable a port All very simple requests that can't take much in terms of memory/firmware size to implement. In terms of speed, stability, function other then the above, its a awesome switch.

Ability to label ports 2. Ability to label vlans 3. Ability to disable a port All very simple requests that can't take much in terms of memory/firmware size to implement. In terms of speed, stability, function other then the above, its a awesome switch.

I'll use SMC as an example... 1) They have the higher end models that are Full VLAN support that are very intuitive and fully flexible. For example, they'll allow you to label each port in web interface. They fully refer to each ports specifying their Egress and Ingress VLAn support, etc. They allow every thing to be done. But because they are intuitive, in the web interface itself, its easy to configure them without accidentally misconfiguring another clients. They make great switches that will act as both Trunk backbone switches and end location switches. 2) then they have lower end model. They let one do almost everything with VLAN. But they are way less intuitive. And they dont work as well for dual purpose, and tend to work better as a backbone or end location switch. They lack abilty to label ports.They have confusing terminology to enable or disable like VLAN Aware that may not be specific on what VLAN functionality is enabled by making it aware. It usually takes a quick read of the manual before making a config, because the logic is not straight forward. Many Web Switches are like this. SMC and Intellinet have affordable 8 port VLAN switches that are functional, but with the firmware that is equivellent to low end VLAN switches as described in #2 above. But I beleive both have text, SNMP, serial, and Web interfaces, which give them a step up over other basic web switch products. Both models sell under $200, and have atleast 2 Gigabit ports, possibly SPF ports. I just wish someone made a 8 port VLAN switch for the low dollar cost, that had the HIGH END INTUITIVE VLAN firmware, that allowed each port to be labled in software.

They are fanless and we have them on towers, bullet proof all day long.

Re: [WISPA] Small Managed Switches
BTW, quick question, anyone out there using Router Boards as l3 Switches ? Also, how do they handle 50+ mbps of traffic and doing port based vlans? Matt WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Small Managed Switches
Don't know about doing it with vlans but the RB450G's (the gigaethernet model) and Rb493AH (high cpu powered unit) can easily handle 50+mbps without breaking much of a sweet. Have a RB450G that is pushing an average of 6Mbps and cpu load don't go over 5% but this unit don't have any vlans active on it and setup as a l3 switch. -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Matt Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2009 11:42 PM To: fai...@snappydsl.net; WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Small Managed Switches BTW, quick question, anyone out there using Router Boards as l3 Switches ?

Re: [WISPA] Small Managed Switches
We use an RB450G as a core in a couple pops. One in particular is running NAT, OSPF, PPTP VPN, MPLS, has about 20 VPLS tunnels, and does firewalling for a couple hundred public IPs.
