I like to use a couple of DPDT toggle switches, and use a large paper clamp on the handles to get them to go together.  Utterly
reliable, and no software headaches.  Not real fast, but real steady...

  Subject: [tclug-list] VLAN Switches


  I am looking at replacing a switch for a small office setting and have been looking for a couple months now for a good reliable
switch and franky, i'm not excited by the offerings that I see. Cisco is not an option for me, but anything else goes. The features
I want/need are Gigabit,  vlan support and low power consumption if thats possible, I currently have a 24 port, so I think a 24 port
would work well. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with a smaller(semi) managed (vlan) capable switch?

  So far I've looked at extreme networks, juniper, transistion networks and netgear. Netgear has a nice price, but I don't want to
sacrifice stability and reliability, since it won't get alot of attention.

  Thanks in advance

  Jesse
