[BlueOnyx:12430] Re: Upgrading Switch

[Mark E. Levy]

*I* would not recommend the Cisco 2948. That model uses the Catalyst O/S, NOT IOS. Those switches are cheap because while they purport to be POE, you must use non-standard cables. There are tons of them out there. I, too was lured by the cheap price and bought one, and ended up taking it on a long voyage to the computer junkyard very shortly thereafter. It's a boat anchor. 

Look for some of the Cisco/Linksys low-end switches. They're web manageable, and work well.

Hello, 

I'm looking at updating my switch which you can see here: http://cl.ly/image/2y3R2y0U2T0b - that is a 100 base non managed 16 port switch which was cheap non brand I bought in a hurry. However; I have a opportunity to buy a Cisco Catalyst WSC2948G fairly cheap. Do you guys suggest that switch? Would I get better performance? What switch would you suggest that I could get under 200? Are managed switches slower then non managed? I know this has nothing to do with BlueOynx but I don't know who else to ask. 

Thanks in advance. 

Joseph
