Digital camera reviews of Netgear ProSafe 48-Port Gigabit Smart Switch (GS748TNA)
Digital camera Review: Netgear GS748T switch - points to watch....
Summary: 5 Stars
One thing to watch out for on these switches - Amazon seems to have stock of several older versions (firmware). Make sure to download and update to 3.03 (current) or you'll be wondering if you even got the right switch.
Be sure, also, to set the IP address on these switches *before* you plug in workstations/printers/etc.. I was in too much of a hurry and was tearing my hair out wondering why clients were randomly dropping.
If I had bothered to read the docs (again, too much attention paid to getting it done quick) I would have seen that the switches had the same IP address and the problems I was encountering had a logical reason - wouldn't have had to diagnose cabling/termination/etc. wasting time.
For what it's worth, the VLAN/trunking features are nice additions and I typically don't have clients where this is useful, I've found it useful at my most recent job where I have about a half dozen IP cameras. VLANing those keeps the available throughput to my client's network segmented and not stomped on. We'll see if the VLAN actually works well in the following weeks/days. I'm a bit suspicious that a switched priced at this level would actually work as advertised with the VLAN feature. Hopefully I'll be impressed.
But anyhow, so far so good. There is a noted improvement in throughput over the old network (100 Full duplex) with the new gigabit cabling and switches.
The switches were easy to set up and didn't have features that were confusing to set up. Simple. No IOS to program, all web based and stable.
