Switches<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>I am looking at replacing a switch for a small
office setting and have been looking for a couple months now for a good
reliable switch and franky, i'm not excited by the offerings that I see. Cisco
is not an option for me, but anything else goes. The features I want/need are
Gigabit, vlan support and low power consumption if thats possible, I
currently have a 24 port, so I think a 24 port would work well. Does anyone
have any suggestions or experience with a smaller(semi) managed (vlan) capable
switch? <BR><BR>So far I've looked at extreme networks, juniper, transistion
networks and netgear. Netgear has a nice price, but I don't want to sacrifice
stability and reliability, since it won't get alot of attention.
