Please log in for more thread options Hello, I'll need but a gigabit switch, 8 port. I found D-Link DGS-1008D or Netgear GS608, by example I found no test, what is the better gigabit switch for 8 ports, which is not very expensive? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options I recently bought this one "3CGSU08-ME" http://www.3com.com/prod/fr_FR_EMEA/detail.jsp?tab=features&sku=3CGSU08 In Norway it costs Kr. 650,- NOK = ? 81,15 EURO For its price, you get a good name, and a fancy look ;->
I had to put black tape in front of the LED's as I cant stand
that STRONG flashing blue light. /Hca | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

You usually get what you pay for. Cheap one are - cheap. You really must ask yourself "how much performance do i need" "and how do i figure out where my bottleneck is". A cisco 4948 would give you top performance, but can you fill it ? Said that, get a cheap one, chances are that the bridge is not your bottleneck. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I believe that there are chip sets, or maybe a single chip for the smaller switches, so all one has to do is build a box and power supply around one. > Said that, get a cheap one, chances are that the bridge is

Not sure if it is in the desired price range, but HP ProCurve has an 8 port Gigabit Ethernet switch out there now: http://www.hp.com/rnd/products/switches/ProCurve_Switch_1800_Series/overview.htm are managed versions, and then there are: http://www.hp.com/rnd/products/switches/switch2708-2724/overview.htm which are unmanaged. I've had occasion to use the 2724 myself and was happy with it. I've not had occasion yet to try the 1800's - while I'm not in the ProCurve part of the HP house, the old saying about the cobblers children still applies :) rick jones -- portable adj, code that compiles under more than one compiler these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... :) feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
