Pros: Plugged it in and it worked right away.
Calling Tech Support gave me a human being to speak to right away. Solved my problem

Cons: None

Pros: nice. simple and easy to work with. works well.

Cons: dont count on their support. make sure you know what youre doing when you log in to the switch.

Other Thoughts: got 3 of'em working well. great product.

Pros: Cheap 48 port managed gigabit switch.

Cons: SSH (SSL?) doesn't work -- based on fressh -- and simply causes a crash. Plus, configuring ssh/ssl is completely undocumented. Earlier firmware revisions lacked the ability to clear the mac tables thus require a reboot after any topology altering configurations (like creating port groups, vlans, etc.) NTP "broadcast" mode doesn't work at all. Unicast mode barely works. Firmware upgrades *always* erase the configuration -- not once has one kept any part of it's previous configuration.

Other Thoughts: As long as you leave it alone after initial configuration, the things are solid as a brick. I've had several in production for >2 years. It definately has it's quirks, but it gets the job done cheaply at the cost of some initial frustrations.

Pros: This switch works great I was looking for a good quality switch with snmp etc... without breaking my wallet.

Cons: None

Pros: This switch works great I was looking for a good quality switch with snmp etc... without breaking my wallet.

Cons: None

Pros: Cheap, 48-port gigabit ethernet switch. Works great in the default configuration.

Cons: Our switch failed in incredibly unique and interesting ways when we attempted to set up tagged/trunked 802.1q vlans. We'd reboot the switch with the exact same configuration and it would start working again.

Other Thoughts: Yikes. I've had good luck with lower-end Netgear products in the past, but this switch just doesn't cut it. We can't have the switch die in production when we attempt to add a VLAN
