    Considering Cisco SF250-48HP PoE switch. Bad choice?

    Advanced networking is way over my head too! I just perform a simple default reset and just plug everything in. The reset procedure is explained in the HP installation documents you can download.

    Considering Cisco SF250-48HP PoE switch. Bad choice?

    I don’t mean to complicate your decision, but I’ve had good luck with HP ProCurve PoE switches. They aren’t silent, but not too loud as I have mine located in the garage. You can generally find many eBay ProCurve switches for very reasonable cost. You can download HP data and installation...

    Need help picking out Equipment for remote Location- Needs to boot back up easily
