My first thought was that this was expensive compared to the other switches but then I noticed that the rj45 ports were 10gbs

I have found that Amazon does not always show me coupons. If I open the same page in incognito mode I see the coupon, but when I login in incognito mode it disappears. Here is my workaround. First, go to the product page in incognito mode, don't login. Right click on "Shop Items" (should be...

It looks like TP-Link is now selling a version of this switch: https://www.tp-link.com.cn/product_2840.html#tag If the firmware is compatible that might be very interesting. I don't see any firmware downloads on their web site.

Wow! those are expensive. If you are looking for a similar DIY solution for your home take a look at: https://www.homedepot.com/s/wall%20access%20panel The plastic ones take paint well.

sorry, my bad (I am seeing $150 for the Xike 8 port SFP+ at Amazon, but your point is still correct, I originally gave the price for the 2.5G one)

$80 at amazon (web managed version) https://www.amazon.com/XikeStor-Port-SFP-Aggregation-Wall-Mount/dp/B0CLK5R1PC?th=1 Different brand but is the same hardware and firmware

Looks like a new product, could not find much info on the tp-link.com.cn website: https://www.tp-link.com.cn/product_2935.html?v=download#tag https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806488325496.html

That is odd, all of the listings I see specifically state that these are based on: Main control chip Maxlinear MxL86282

My understanding is that an "uplink" port is really no different than any other port. While you would typically use the uplink port to connect to other switched/routers or a server you do not need to. I think a typical use case for a switch with 8x2.5 and 2x10 is that one of the 10gbe ports...

I agree that Trendnet is typically at a price point that is comparable to TP Link. Out of curiosity where are you seeing the USW-Enterprise-8-PoE for the same price as the TPE-3102WS? The places I have looked show ~$100 price difference. If they are the same price the Ubiquiti product is a...

I am currently using the in expensive switches from China, but if you want a low cost switch from a domestic (USA) company that provides firmware updates on their website instead of emailing a google drive link to customers then you may want to check out Trendnet...

Trendnet TPE-3102WS has 8x2.5 poe+ 2x10 spf+ and is $380

I believe the SKS1200 line is the unmanaged (or as some of the aliexpress listing say 'unmanageable') switches and the SKS3200 is the web managed switches, SKS7300 are L2 and SKS8300 are L3.

Thanks! That is pretty clear/concise discussion on how to use hascat

I am not saying it is impossible, but I think it would have to be a focused attack, I don't think these have a lot of excess computing power to do much packet inspection. While I am fine with using these on my home network, I would love to see open source firmware for these. Several posts have...

A couple of posts have mentioned accessing the serial console. I am assuming that people are soldering on wires to the four connection points on what is labeled J2 on the PCB (I do not have my switch nearby, maybe it is not J2, but it is the four connection points on the side of the PCB). Which...

I am not seeing that, can you post a link?

The XikeStore version of this was also being sold over at Amazon. It was only instock for a few days around black friday for a similar price to aliexpress. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CN6H5JWW?th=1 I bought the 8x2.5+10x1 version. I have not updated the firmware but others have...

I haven't seen this mentioned on any of the threads discussing the inexpensive 2.5G switches, but Amazon is selling the XikeStor version right now for $80 (on black friday it was $67). The reason I mention it is because I found this purely by chance, it does not seem to come up as a search...

It is but it appears straightforward, thank you.
