Hello, I'd suggest looking at the managed switch, you will have better visibility of the link, speeds/duplex/DOM stats for the optics. With a media converter, unless its a managed one who knows whats going on. Be careful about connecting your switch to the exchange, I'd suggest reading this page on the LONAP site, http://www.lonap.net/config-hints.shtml Nat -- Nat https://noc.esgob.com
