What do you guys think of this switch for home use?

Main reason I'm debating it is for SNMP and QoS. Anyone have any experience with D-Link? My other option was an HP Procurve but no SNMP and only 2 Gbit uplinks.

I'm also wondering if it has per port MRTG/usage graphs, that'd be pretty cool.

    That's a pretty heavy duty switch for home use. It'll be fine.

  • IshaqIshaq Member

    It'll be fine, definitely for home use.

  • zachfedorazachfedora

    @Damian Yeah, I figured that, but I like having some decent networking stuff at home, keeps me busy when I'm bored.

    I also have a network rack at home I like to rack some switches in and just mess around with. Again, keeps me busy :)

    Well functionality and entertainment. But I am taking some Cisco classes so I'll be sure to pick a few up! Thanks :)

    Dell 5324 then.. managed, fully gigabit, with SFP ports, for $140 or less on 3bay.

    Same thought, it's what I use at home

    Actually, that looks really decent, thanks

    I using here a few TP-Link switches, nice features, many gig ports and a good firmware update support. Many switches supports virtual switch stacking, nice feature for home users and not expensive. I using them a few years and all works fine.

  • zachfedorazachfedora

    Yeah I have a 24 port gigabit TP Link switch, works fantastic, just unmanaged.

    Who needs gigabit when you can have fun things like fibre? and LRE? Remember LRE? How cool is LRE? :p

  • WilliamWilliam Member

    We have a few of them and they work fine, not only for home but also for datacenters.

    That D-Link or that Dell?

  • WilliamWilliam Member

    D-Link.
    We also got Dell, but only Force10 (for 10G transport)
