Jack D. Used for: Less than a month
Pros
Replaced two switches and a pile of injectors
Cons
Heavy enough to want two people at the rack
Comment
Went in on a Saturday, replaced two smaller switches and a pile of injectors, and every access point came up on the first try. The port map in the web interface is the clearest I have used!
Charlie S. Used for: 1–3 months
Comment
Ports for everything and power for everything, which is all I needed!
Oliver E. Used for: 6–12 months
Pros
Fibre uplinks and a big PoE budget in one box
Comment
We needed ten gigabit uplinks to two servers and PoE for a dozen access points in the same box, and there are not many switches at any price that do both without a chassis. This does. The two fibre uplinks carry the backups, the copper ports feed the floor, and the power budget has never come close to its limit even with every port populated. Eight months in it has been rebooted once, for a firmware update, at a time I chose.
Louie B. Used for: 6–12 months
Pros
Per-port power limits stop one device tripping the lot
Cons
Far too loud for anywhere but a comms room
Comment
The thing that sold this over the cheaper option was being able to see the power draw per port and set a limit on each one. We have a camera that occasionally decides to draw far more than it should, and rather than tripping the whole switch it now just gets capped and logged. The fans are not quiet. In a comms room nobody cares, and I would not put it anywhere else, but do not let anyone talk you into standing it on a shelf in an office.
Oscar S. Used for: More than a year
Pros
Nothing to say about it, which is the highest praise
Cons
Size up on power budget if the cupboard runs warm
Comment
This has been the core of a thirty-person office for a while now and I have very little to say about it, which is the point of a switch. Everything plugs in, everything comes up, and the only time I open the management page is to name a new port. Two years on, one observation worth passing on: the PoE budget on paper and the PoE budget in practice are different numbers once you have a warm cupboard. We got nowhere near the limit, but the fans work noticeably harder in July than in January, and I would size up rather than run one of these close to its ceiling.
Poppy H. Used for: 6–12 months
Pros
The switching side has been beyond reproach
Cons
One fan speed, and it is a loud one
Comment
Ten months in and the switching side has been beyond reproach, so the four stars are entirely about the noise. There is no quiet mode, no temperature-based fan curve worth the name, just a constant whirr from the moment it powers on. Ours lives behind a door and that is fine, but if your rack is in the corner of the office you will regret it within a week.
Noah H. Used for: 3–6 months
Pros
One page that answers every question about the network
Comment
We run a small studio with cameras, access points and a couple of servers, and this replaced a stack of three switches that had grown organically over years. One box, one management page, one place to look when something is wrong. Five months in the improvement is less about speed and more about being able to answer questions: which port is that, how much power is it taking, when did it last go down. All of it is there in a plain table.
Henry H. Used for: 1–3 months
Pros
Lost three power bricks and a shelf of clutter
Comment
Bought it for the two ten gigabit ports and stayed for the PoE. Every camera and access point on site runs from this one box now and the cupboard has lost three power bricks and a shelf of clutter!
Arthur H. Used for: 1–3 months
Pros
Solid metal and properly built
Cons
Too deep for a shallow wall cabinet
Comment
Does everything asked of it, but the rack ears sit it too far forward for a shallow cabinet
Freya E. Used for: Less than a month
Pros
Hardware went in without any trouble
Cons
Documentation describes a firmware that no longer exists
Comment
Good switch let down slightly by the documentation, which describes an older firmware and a menu structure that no longer exists. Everything is findable, it just takes longer than it should. The hardware itself went in without any trouble and has been solid since
Millie F. Used for: Less than a month
Pros
Dull in exactly the right way
Cons
Fans start up the moment you power it on
Comment
Racked and configured in an afternoon. The interface is dull in exactly the way networking kit should be, and the link lights are not so bright that they light the room
