I've used a few HP switches (mostly Procurve 1800 & 1900) at work and been very happy with them - but I don't think either of these models do your RFC 3376 IGMP. A quick search for "procurve rfc 3376 24G"* gives a selection of other models that appear to have this feature - the 2510-24G seems to have it and be quite affordable second hand. * I included 24G to see 24 port gigabit models. They tend to be available on secondhand sites, and as long as the previous owner hasn't had a warranty claim**, then you get a lifetime warranty on them. And the warranty service is brilliant (we had a couple of failures, but then our environment wasn't "kind" to them) - fill in the details online, you get a replacement switch the next day, you swap all the bits over (rack mounting ears, modules, etc), then you ship the broken one back. ** Technically the warranty only applies to the original purchaser, but as long as they haven't registered it in their own name then HP need never know ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Shorewall-users mailing list Shorewall-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-users
