Dieing Netgear Switch but which HP to replace it with?
I have a cabinet with 2 netgear switches in it one is a 48port and one is a 24 port and i think the 24 port one is on its last legs shall we say. I want to replace it with a HP as i am trying to standardise the hardware we have and the last one we bought was a HP procurve as our core switch and it hasnt missed a beat, having just looked at the HP website theres lots on there and im a bit confused.
All i need it to do is a have a fibre port on the front for the feed from server room. 24 ports, web management console, and most importantly not cost the earth. Can anyone suggest which model to go for and where to purchase it from.
Re: Dieing Netgear Switch but which HP to replace it with?
Procurve 2650 or newer equivalent. 48 10/100 ports 2 gigabit ports or they can take 2 GBICS for fiber or whatever you fancy.
Re: Dieing Netgear Switch but which HP to replace it with?
If you truly only want web management then:
ProCurve Switch 1800-24G (J9028B)
Approx £219
You'll also need to buy the mini gbic for your fibre connection.

The ProCurve 2624 is the 24 port equivalent of the ProCurve 2650 if you prefer.

I found a 2524 but not a 2624 is that the one you meant?
Re: Dieing Netgear Switch but which HP to replace it with?
It's a 2626 you're after. I've just bought a stack of 'em.
Re: Dieing Netgear Switch but which HP to replace it with?
2626 because it has 24 10/100 ports and 2 10/100/1000 ports and 2 mini gbic ports but you can only use 2 10/100/1000's or 2 gbic's or a combination you cannot use all 4 at the same time.

Out of interest how much did you pay for them?? I can get them for £216.75 is that a good price??
Re: Dieing Netgear Switch but which HP to replace it with?
That is a good price. I just paid £232 for the couple I bought.
Re: Dieing Netgear Switch but which HP to replace it with?
£219, you got a good price. :-)
Re: Dieing Netgear Switch but which HP to replace it with?
219 is a great price, cheapest i could get was 225, but that was with delivery.
Re: Dieing Netgear Switch but which HP to replace it with?
Ollis was the supplier. We bought a whole lot stuff though, so maybe that brought extra discount? I'm going to be in cable hell in about 3 weeks time ;-).
Re: Dieing Netgear Switch but which HP to replace it with?
My price was through proband/it index what ever their called. It had education only plastered all over the price.
Re: Dieing Netgear Switch but which HP to replace it with?
go for the HP 1800, 24 ports, all Gigabit on on the uk.insight.com website, i think it is about 229 but you can get it cheap with been educational.
Re: Dieing Netgear Switch but which HP to replace it with?
Personally, I would say go with the 26xx series as it has the full management capabilities that are starting to be needed in schools and will definitely be needed in coming years.
