RE: [OT] Network Techie's Advise Please

Actually, I think the Cabletron is a better switch. It has everything
you could ever want and puts my SMC switch to shame.

I bought this switch on eBay...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1317662225

It was DOA but thankfully I bought from a very repulatable company with
a 30 day returns policy.  Anyway, I have returned it to them and they
are offering me this Cabletron unit as a replacement.  Can anyone advise
me if it's a good unit or not and if it is as good as the one I had
bought?  It's just for home use, upgrading from a hub.

Thanks

M.


Cabletron  ELS100-24TXM Ethernet switch. The switch is IEEE
802.1D-compliant and supports 24 IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet
ports. Each port can alternatively operate as an IEEE 802.3i 10Base-T
port. In addition, two of the switch's ports support Fast Ethernet over
fiber (IEEE 802.3u
100Base-FX) when a modular daughtercard is installed.

The Cabletron ELS100-24TXM switch automatically learns end-station
addresses from the network and stores them in a Media Access Control
(MAC) address forwarding table. Incoming packets are then forwarded to
the appropriate output port based on the addresses in the packet. Each
port on the switch operates at full Fast Ethernet wire speed with full
address and frame filtering.

The Cabletron ELS100-24TXM switch contains advanced features such as
Remote Monitoring (RMON), IEEE 802.1Q virtual LANs (VLANs), IEEE 802.1p
Class of Service, flow control and broadcast throttling. For network
management, the ELS100-24TXM switch includes a standards-compliant
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent.

This agent allows network management station applications to collect and
present status and performance information about a switch as well as
providing the ability to configure and control functions on the device.
Network management can also be performed in-band using the popular
TCP/IP application, Telnet. In addition, a serial console port allows
out-of-band management using a PC or an ASCII terminal.

The ELS100-24TXM switch is desktop or rack-mountable. LEDs on the front
panel provide information about the operating status of the switch. The
back panel of the switch contains the power connector and a power
switch. Two fans maintain ventilation and cooling for internal switch
components
