First network device I ever bought that worked out of the box with no drama!, December 3, 2011

This review is from: Sg 200-18 18-PORT Gigabit (Personal Computers)

Maybe it’s me (I am no network expert) but it seems every time I do anything with the network it’s always a big deal. Things don’t work, you have to go thru page after page of the manual, calls to the tech support line to be on hold for an hour and then 3 calls later it’s still not working…. You get the idea: Me and networks just don’t play together well.

BUT NOT WITH THIS SWITCH! PLUG IT IN AND IT WORKS!

I mean this was as plug and play as it gets. I just pugged in my modem/router (2Wire provided by my ISP) into the ACT/Link port and then started plugging in computers, printers and other devices into the switch. Boom, in a few seconds, the network was done. Everything worked and every computer had internet access instantly and I could print to any printer w/o any issue (had to load printer drivers on a few computers that previously did not have access to one of the printers.) The only issue I had was not really an issue because I anticipated it. The 2wire modem/router uses the default ip of 192.168.1.254 as does this switch. So I went to that IP to see which would come up (if anything). The 2wire came up. I went to the table of IPs on the 2Wire and saw the new IP the 2Wire had assigned to this switch. I went to that IP and up came the Cisco interface. I logged in, changed my username and password and logged out.

I haven’t been into ether the 2Wire or Cisco switch since, and it all just keep working. I know these are expensive compared to the normal home router/switch/hub, but the ease of use is so much worth it.

Highly recommended and we’ll be back to buy more.

Great and Inexpensive, but feature packed Switch, October 24, 2011

Jeff Burns –

This review is from: Cisco SG200-26 24 10/100/1000 Ports, Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch, 2 Combo Mini-GBIC Ports, Warranty, One Year Tech Support – SLM2024TNA (Personal Computers)

Background: I was needing 802.3ad/LACP to aggregate ethernet ports from my main server and alleviate that bottleneck. After trying different load balancing options (TLB/ALB) on my old Dlink, I decided it wasn’t worth the headache and started looking for something that properly did Link Aggregation.

I was looking at a similar Trendnet when I found this one from Cisco, looked at the reviews of both, and got the SG200-26. Had a couple of issues with LACP initially, but flashed the firmware to the latest and everything just works like a charm now. I’m very happy with it, and my main server has a 4Gb link now. I then bought a SG200-8 for an area that didn’t get enough network drops, and setup a 2Gb link to it and fixed that bandwidth issue as well. I haven’t gotten around to any QoS and VLAN settings yet, as that wasn’t what I needed the switch for, but I’ll probably use that in the future.

Excellent Switch – Right out of the box, May 13, 2011

Lyndell L. Brown “LeeBrownUSA” (San Diego, CA USA) –

This review is from: 8PORT Sg 200-08 SLM2008T-NA Gigabit Smart Switch (Personal Computers)

I have tested this switch with an eye to controlling broadcast/multicast storms from a looped cable (our users do this all the time) followed by a power cycling on the switch. Out of the box this small switch handled this with ease. Besides all the features you may or may not use you have the option of using PoE to power this switch. If you do use PoE you won’t have the AC power adapter and cord to deal with on or under your desk.
I’ve test quite a few other manufacturers small switches (NetGear, Dell, etc) and they don’t compare. I even had one switch go backwards on features in their Version 2 “improved” version (no longer could be configured to control a broadcast/multicast storm after being power cycled). This switch is a great choice.
