This review is from : Cisco SG 300-52 (SRW2048-K9-NA) 52-Port Gigabit Managed Switch
If you're looking for great features at a great price you may have found them . Cisco is well known for Enterprise networking, and I was keen to see how well these switches performed against my expectations.
The feature set is amazing. You get big brand complex features, right out of the box. You've found a switch that genuinely appears to do everything you could need, from VLANs to Link Aggregation, from MAC and 802.1x filtering, to provider edge port isolation. There's fully configurable Logging, QoS, management, IPv6 and many many more that I'm not personally using. Hmm, I should also mention that the full online HTML help inside the UI is a great addition to people doing config with these devices for the first time.
Management and Configuration is smooth and painless through either the GUI or via the CLI on the recent firmware upgrades. Those familiar with IOS will find things that are familiar in the CLI, as well as frustrations when things aren't quite IOS.
There is great consistency between the 300 series and the 200 series devices, so in a mixed network, administration should be fairly simple.
Cisco have already put out a couple of firmware upgrades for this device, and unlike the Enterprise class products, you don't need a support contract to download them. Simply register a CCO account, and the small business site will let you download the upgrades for free.
This switch has generally been very stable, with no need to reboot for months of runtime.
Mechanically, rackmount hardware is included, sturdy and well built. The fans inside this model are MUCH quieter than competing d-Link and Netgear products, and seem to potentially be temperature linked (I have heard them cycling up and down ever once in a while).
I have seven variants of this device in my network. No issues with any of them. A solid purchase.
Happy Networking !
