jmak Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 Just been to am office where there's one of these screwed to a shelf (so that it's suspended above it) and the office occupants are complaining it's noisy. It didn't seem awful (for a fan cooled switch) but I wouldn't like it above my desk either. I don't think the PoE function is in use and it is only to supply the desks in that room - currently only 6 ports are connected. I think it does need to be layer 3. What would people recommend as a fanless replacement? We mostly seem to be using Aruba switches, although I've seen a bunch of Netgear business grade switches and I know for a major new project the tender includes Cisco, so I don't think we're tied to a particular manufacturer. TIA
Norphy Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 According to its spec sheet, this switch is L2 plus static routing. Are you sure you wouldn't be able to get away with a bog standard L2 switch? Something like a 2530-8G?
Davit2005 Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) If it is configured for layer 3 but should be able to see in the config. Have a look at the config, if you can post it here but remove any identifiable information. A 8 port 2530-8G PoE should be adequate and they are passively cooled but have an external power brick that can get a bit warm. Edited March 24, 2022 by Davit2005

[emoji2357] How embarrassing Edit: also embarrassed to be using Bing, but I'm only temporarily using this computer until the Dell technician comes to fix mine so I have left everything on default settings.
