Cisco SG200-18 Ethernet Switch - 18 Port - 2 Slot SLM2016T-NA Switches & Bridges
This review is from : Sg 200-18 18-PORT Gigabit
Great small full feature GBe Switch . Purchased this to replace a less than reliable Netgear switch. This small, sturdy switch is a great companion to my ASA. It has POE input so you can bypass the AC Adapter, however, it does not supply POE to end devices. You need the SG200-08P (@ twice the price) for full POE functionality. I should have paid more attention but it will do for now.

Sg 200-18 18-PORT Gigabit Reviews
First network device I ever bought that worked out of the box with no drama! . Maybe it's me (I am no network expert) but it seems every time I do anything with the network it's always a big deal. Things don't work, you have to go thru page after page of the manual, calls to the tech support line to be on hold for an hour and then 3 calls later it's still not working.... You get the idea: Me and networks just don't play together well. BUT NOT WITH THIS SWITCH! PLUG IT IN AND IT WORKS!I mean this was as plug and play as it gets. I just pugged in my modem/router (2Wire provided by my ISP) into the ACT/Link port and then started plugging in computers, printers and other devices into the switch. Boom, in a few seconds, the network was done. Everything worked and every computer had internet access instantly and I could print to any printer w/o any issue (had to load printer drivers on a few computers that previously did not have access to one of the printers.) The only issue I had was not really an issue because I anticipated it. The 2wire modem/router uses the default ip of 192.168.1.254 as does this switch. So I went to that IP to see which would come up (if anything). The 2wire came up. I went to the table of IPs on the 2Wire and saw the new IP the 2Wire had assigned to this switch. I went to that IP and up came the Cisco interface. I logged in, changed my username and password and logged out. I haven't been into ether the 2Wire or Cisco switch since, and it all just keep working. I know these are expensive compared to the normal home router/switch/hub, but the ease of use is so much worth it. :)Highly recommended and we'll be back to buy more.

Sg 200-18 18-PORT Gigabit Opinions
Great and Inexpensive but feature packed Switch . Background: I was needing 802.3ad/LACP to aggregate ethernet ports from my main server and alleviate that bottleneck. After trying different load balancing options (TLB/ALB) on my old Dlink, I decided it wasn't worth the headache and started looking for something that properly did Link Aggregation.I was looking at a similar Trendnet when I found this one from Cisco, looked at the reviews of both, and got the SG200-26. Had a couple of issues with LACP initially, but flashed the firmware to the latest and everything just works like a charm now. I'm very happy with it, and my main server has a 4Gb link now. I then bought a SG200-8 for an area that didn't get enough network drops, and setup a 2Gb link to it and fixed that bandwidth issue as well. I haven't gotten around to any QoS and VLAN settings yet, as that wasn't what I needed the switch for, but I'll probably use that in the future.

Excellent Switch - Right out of the box . I have tested this switch with an eye to controlling broadcast/multicast storms from a looped cable (our users do this all the time) followed by a power cycling on the switch. Out of the box this small switch handled this with ease. Besides all the features you may or may not use you have the option of using PoE to power this switch. If you do use PoE you won't have the AC power adapter and cord to deal with on or under your desk.
I've test quite a few other manufacturers small switches (NetGear, Dell, etc) and they don't compare. I even had one switch go backwards on features in their Version 2 "improved" version (no longer could be configured to control a broadcast/multicast storm after being power cycled). This switch is a great choice.

Great Price . I owned this Cisco Router for only 3 days, and so far it has met most of my expectations. The ability to control ports and name them made organization much simple. So instead of having little stickies on the wire. Now you can tell which box it is connected to right through the Web UI.
Configuration out of the box was a little retarded. Most router/switch I dealt with before once you save your preference, unplugging it would not mean resetting to factory. The switch requires you to save different profile of preferences, There is a loading preference, there is a running preference, and there is a start up preference. I guess I never had a managed or smart switch before, these might be a norm.
Beyond the Web UI, this is pretty much your regular switch that requires no extra configuration. Plug a wire in and expect it to work. In my case that is not quite true. With one of my windows 7 box, there was some funky things where the port would constantly reset until I put it on Auto-Negotiation.
This box is actually a 26 port switch. The two side port can be used as regular or uplink ports.

Incredible switch for the money! . I am a Cisco professional and work with many of Cisco Systems Enterprise level equipment and have been for almost 10 years now! This switch is a full featured layer 2 switch and having worked with many of Cisco's layer 2 devices, I cant seem to find any feature that isn't on here that you would find on there enterprise level switches costing from several thousand to over ten thousand other than port-density! And getting it for $105 after rebate, I bought (2) of them!
