Great switch great features low cost. . This is a great little switch. I replaced a big 24 port gig switch with this to save some money on power and to reduce the amount of heat generated by my network gear in my home office. It runs cool and is part of their new "green" switch line that reduces power consumption in a number of ways. It does everything I expect higher end web-managed switches to do, and is extremely affordable. I like that 3Com has redesigned this line to have flat case tops instead of the rounded tops they used to have (no more need for the extra bracket in order to put something on top of it). Make sure that you upgrade the firmware on this switch right out of the box before doing ANYTHING else; there's a bug in the shipped firmware that will brick the switch when you set the password and you'll have to console into it to recover otherwise. The new firmware fixes that.

This thing does time delay reflectometry! . This switch has a built in TDR! For those of you that don't know, that is the method used to find faults in cables. If you have broken or shorted cables then this should find them. It found a break in one of my cables I didn't even know about! Well, didn't know about until it failed to link at 1Gb/s anyways...)This switch is fill gig, supports an SFP, and is small. From the pictures you may think it is rack sized by its proportions, but it is only about 1" tall in reality. It also has a serial connection. I haven't used it yet, but it is very nice to know it is there in case I botch up the settings.I did find the vlan settings convoluted. I had a heck of time getting traffic tagged properly on the SFP. However, I think this was exacerbated by the fact that I haven't migrated off PVID 1 yet. Read the manual before configuring 802.1Q on it. The switch I got had 3com firmware which is very different from HP ProCurve firmware.
