Re: [PLUG] Small network managed switch?

They track more than traffic. They also track errors, types of errors, and traffic statistics are often broken down into different packet sizes. VLANs are another reason to need a managed switch. On November 16, 2015 9:20:28 AM PST, wes wrote: >> >> >> >> One member of the

It may be unconventional to offer DD-WRT on professional bids, but Buffalo Technologies sells models with the firmware preinstalled for fairly decent prices: http://www.buffalo-technology.com/technology/partnered-software/dd-wrt/ (I didn't dig deeper to find if they have any models that DON'T have

Re: [PLUG] Small network managed switch?

Depending on what the goal is, managed switches can be relatively cheap, or quite expensive. At some level, the line between switch and router becomes a bit fuzzy. Typically, (not low-end) managed switches provide: vlan capability (802.1q) link aggregation (802.3ad) spanning tree loop detection

Re: [PLUG] Small network managed switch?

Thanks for all the excellent responses. My customer has been using some Ubiquity wifi access points and thinks they are great. The ES-24-LITE-US EdgeSwitch found favor with them so that's what we'll be trying. I checked with the Ubiquity supplier and they said that HTML 4 or greater Java

Re: [PLUG] Small network managed switch?

Ubiquiti has a tool that is OS independent to manage their stuff. It just requires Java. I am going to set up a network manager on a Raspberry pi for a small network I an setting up. We already put it on a Windows box, but we want it stand alone, so that means a RasPI hanging on A wall headless.

Re: [PLUG] Small network managed switch?

I've found that small home/office switches can be price-competitive with simple hubs, while providing better performance. Then again, I haven't been concerned with manageability. Joe Shisei Niski Portland, Oregon, USA 至誠 On 11/15/2015 04:19 PM, Michael

[PLUG] Small network managed switch?

I have a customer that would like me to use a managed network switch in my next control system. It's a very small network, <8 ports needed for my ethernet I/O. I have never used a managed network switch. I am aghast at the prices! Anybody have a recommendation of something to look at? Wayne
