I looked at the 3248 and 5224s about a year ago, and would strongly advise against deploying any of the gear in a production environment. They had a number of issues with LACP/dot1q. The most severe issue is that the management interface would occasionally crash hard -- no control possible, even by serial line. It was still passing packets, but had to be reloaded to change anything. They were also a number of exploits of the web interface (incorrect implementations of access control, improper bounds checking, etc.)Can anyone tell me any good/bad points about them? You get what you pay for. I believe the switches are OEMed from Accton; you'll find other vendors (e.g. SMC) selling the same boxes. -Kevin --------------------------------------------------- Kevin C.
