Plus the Cisco Small Business line is pretty hot garbage.


You have a switch that you would suggest to replace it with?

I work at an ISP and primarily work on carrier-grade equipment, so I don't really know much about the cheaper options. We used to use Cisco Small Business switches for our hosted voice solution, but have since moved to Juniper. For that application, the Cisco SMB line worked just fine. Perhaps in a small-scale environment the SMB line isn't bad.

However, I tried setting up 2 48-port gig PoE Cisco SMB switches at a school and had LOTS of issues; I used up almost all 48 ports and they couldn't handle the load. Intermittent packet loss, connectivity drops, etc.. Once I replaced the small business switches with Juniper EX2200s, the problems disappeared. So YMMV.. For a small office those switches are probably fine.
