WarrantyBeyond any applicable Newegg return policy, this item is warranted independently by the product's Manufacturer or a Third party. Below is a summary provided for convenience only and may not be accurate or current.
Read full details.
Pros: Nice interface, black color, good number of ports.
Cons: I can't get VLANs to work properly. It won't let me modify VLAN 1 to let it connect to the tagged VLAN1 packets coming from my other switch, meaning I either need to make everything VLAN2 (which causes problems) or forget about it.
Other Thoughts: 3com SuperStack switches are better, Baseline REALLY means Baseline.

Rating: 5/5Great switch, no headaches
Pros: Does everything it claims and is very easy to set up. Seeing throughputs at 50 to 80 MB/sec, which is all the faster the hard drives are.
Cons: I suppose it's loud, so the home user may not like it.
Other Thoughts: You can't hear it over a typical server.

Rating: 1/5Don't buy unless it is going in a soundproof room.
Pros: Good specs, slightly above average for a L2 managed router.
Cons: Unit has two fans that are ridiculously loud.
Fans also have a psychosis inducing high frequency harmonic that creates uncontrollable urge in humans to unplug the unit. Seriously.
Other Thoughts: RMA's item b/c fan noise and harmonic whine. It is just not possible to live in the same room with this item.

Rating: 4/5Good value SMB/home switch for a closet or garage
Pros: Great switch for a small or medium biz, or home. 24 ports of wirespeed Gigabit Ethernet with support for: Spanning Tree, SNMP + syslog, statistics + diagnostics, VLAN + QoS support, 802.1x + RADIUS + ACLs, and more. Good web based admin too. Std AC power cable (no power brick).
Cons: I agree with the other reviewers. Two small side-mounted fans are louder than they need to be. Put this puppy in a garage or wiring closet. :)
Other Thoughts: Hard to find another switch with these qualities/features for the same price. If 3Com would just replace the fans with quiet ones, this would be a killer. Still very happy with it.

Rating: 4/5Great edge switch for small environments
Pros: I am a network admin for a small hosptial. I chose this and the 2948-SPF to replace the old 3300 superstack II's. All in all they both are great units, where else can you get all these features at 1Gb to the client for under $1500 per switch???
Cons: One thing to watch out for, this and the 2948-SPF DOES NOT SUPPORT automatic VLAN propogation. But I guess thats what I get for not buying $2k switches... They still work great after manually setting up the vlans, its just lame that I have to do that across 18 edge switches...
Other Thoughts: I think 3com did a great job putting these features in the reach of small budgeted companies to improve their network infrastructure. So, if you want a great cheap switch get this one, if you want ALL the bells and whistles of a enterprise switch, spend $2k each on a 4000 series or go Cisco.
