I've owned a couple 1810-24g v1's (J9450A) and they are very reliable, quiet and use little power (15-20w). These can be purchased for $150 on ebay. If there is ever a problem with the switch, HP will do an advanced replacement with no questions asked and free shipping. I tried the Zyxel once...
Thanks
I still can't believe Netgear does not allow warranty transfers on a 2 week old switch. The switch does work perfectly and I am sure that if the warranty becomes necessary I can open the support case and skirt their crazy rules
Fire sale today on the XSM7224S: $1375 shipped
I have someone interested through eBay at a higher price but wanted to offer it here also instead of paying eBay $100+
I used to do some home automation on the side for friends. One of the problems with the fiber bundled in the structured wire is the evolving standards like cat 5e vs. cat 6. Unless the bundled fiber is OM3 or higher, I don't see the benefit. The same argument could easily be made against...
I never realized how vague Netgear is on warranty transfers. On HP gear a warranty is a warranty but Netgear approaches this differently...I have an email into their customer service, lets see what they say.
I will add that if you have the space, run structured wiring cable (bundled 2 Cat 5e/6 and 2 RG6). If space is a premium, skip the two runs of RG6 and run extra Cat wire which can be used for lot more things like audio, IR, etc as dba pointed out.
No, I did this with a supermicro box. You can't get 2 (PCIe x8) OCE10102 cards in an HP Microserver unless you cut down one of the Emulex cards or open up one of the PCI slots and in both cases you are going to severely limit the bandwidth to the card.
It's been a few weeks and just catching up on the forums here...I only used my XSM7224S for about a week before coming to the conclusion that while it was neat to play with new HW, it was complete and utter overkill for my use case....I created an openvswitch using 2 emulex OCE10102 and it...
I only have one PS so 102W was the total. I would guess that without anything plugged in, you are looking at 98-100W.
how do you turn on cut-through switching? I am used to procurve switches and there are so many buried config options on netgear that a few pointers on cut-through and...
I purchased a xsm7224s switch for my home lab which I have not installed yet. I am a bit concerned about the max 200w power consumption but will see how this goes with 4-5 ports active. I have been thinking about installing 2-3 Emulex OCE10102 cards in my ESXi box/VSwitch to have a workable...
I have two OCE10102-F cards that i picked up on eBay and flashed to the latest emulex firmware. I have these direct connected to each other with a DAC cable: One in my ZFS box and on in my ESXi Box. Do you think I should be using the software iSCSI client in VMware and the CNA as a NIC or turn...
