Might this be what you want?
BTW, avoid TP-Link switches. Some models don't handle VLANs properly.
I just noticed CC has really dumbed down their selection process. Previously you could specify how many ports you were looking for, managed/unmanaged etc.. Now you have to sort through a huge pile of other stuff, to find what you want.
Hmmmmmmmm - - - - there is a real dearth of technical information on that website! This could possibly be useful but I'll need to do some more digging - - - thanks for the info!
When looking for a switch it is always worth while to go on the manufacturers web site and check the user manuals. The retailers are a bit slipshod with their technical information at times. -- Alvin Starr || land: (647)478-6285 Netvel Inc. || Cell: (416)806-0133 alvin@netvel.net ||
