    network switch

    how does one wire up one of these things? and what whould be a good one for under £100 16 ports

    at the moment i have a cable modem going to a dlink router do i then plug in the switch and then all the other pcs i have in to the switch?

    also my server has two gigabit 1000mb connectors on the back should both of these be connected to the switch or one per switch?

    Re: network switch

    Correct

    Modem -> Router -> Switch -> multiple PCs

    This is how I have things connected. I do have my wireless AP attached to the Router as well though (router is wired only, wireless is separate to improve reception).

    As for the Server, it depends. I would assume that if the motherboard or NIC offers two ports then it should support link aggregation, which means both can be attached to the switch to produce a 2gbit link. The switch does need to support this though. You are looking for IEEE 802.3ad or IEEE 802.1AX in the documentation for compatibility.

    Re: network switch

    Yup, pretty much any of them would do the job

    That is an awesome sale btw. I hate to think what the original retail value of all that would be.

    The GS748TS is ~£500 alone and there's 8 of them.

    I'm in line for a few if you do get them

    Re: network switch

    If I bought, my price would be publicly visible to all.

    Assuming the lot sold for £50, I made the ~200 mile round trip to collect, I can't sell on Hexus for a profit, I can't see it being financially sensible.

    I only have use for 2 or 3 of those switches (at the moment) otherwise I'd be there making an offer.

    I'm such a fanny

    Re: network switch

    was going to say that, its your postage price bud. Perfectly acceptable .


    If you do buy them, let me know cause id like one!.

    edit: theres like 30 switches in that lot so you could easily cover your costs if sold on hexus. do like your petrol cost /20 and sell each unit with that ontop, that way you cover your petrol and we all get a pretty sweet deal! . (if your willing of course)
