    Some VLAN Questions

    I'm looking at setting up a VLAN network for a small company for security purposes. As of right now all they have is an Actiontec M1000 modem/router from Qwest and a cheap 10/100 12 port switch. I will be upgrading them to an HP Procurve 1700-24 or 1810g-24 soon. Both switches have VLAN...

    Topology and Cabling for Prosumer Home Network

    48 cables....that's nothing. I don't see the problem with running 48 cables to the basement other than cable cost. If you don't plan on buying like Berk-Tek/Panduit cable which can run $600+ a box. Also a thing to consider is the HVAC environment. If you are running in a plenum airspace...

    Go With 1810G 8 port Procurve or Cisco?

    Anyone here use the new 1810G 8 port ProCurve switch from HP? I've been contemplating buying it, but I can't find anything for reviews. I'm looking for something manageable (I'm taking Cisco classes), so I can fool around with commands on my own time. I'd buy a Cisco 8 port switch but it...
