    Switch buying advice

    Since you're doing VOIP I would suggest to get a switch that is at least QoS aware.

    Mini network Switch advice

    The Linksys WRT is not a modem, it is a "wireless" access point with built in router. All you need is a switch. I don't think the term 'circumvent' is strictly correct. There should only be one path from point A to B in your network. If you plug two devices into the same switch, then they...

    Smart switches allowing outbound from mirror dest port?

    When I do port mirroring to my computer that is running wireshark, I still access devices web interfaces from that same computer. I use a Dlink DGS-1100-16. Not sure why any switch would prevent this. However, once you mix in VLANs thats a different thing. I'm not sure port mirroring will...

    Non-jumbo devices on jumbo LAN?

    im going to go out on a limb and say its an ongoing source of lag and inefficiency. Otherwise, wouldn't adding jumbo frames 1 item at a time to a network be just fine? I suspect each newly initiated connection will start with the full frame size, then throttle back. But I don't know for sure.

    Dlink DGS-1210-24 OR Netgear GS724t-300

    I had a netgear and found it unreliable. I bought a Dlink and I love it. However, I now think one of my problems with the netgear was the default boot behavior. (Same behavior for the Dlink). If they get IP assigned over DHCP, and DHCP is not there when they boot, they will simply revert to...

    VLAN tags within switches

    If a tagged packet arrives at a port that is not tagged for that VLAN, then that packet will be untagged. It will then be assigned to the VLAN of that ports PVID. Now it will go to the other ports of the switch in that VLAN. Either that or it will be dropped. I don't think it will be...
