Hello,

My experience with "smart" switches is at minimum "not good" 
they sometimes "block", they need "programming", I had an experience
with a dell smart switch that blocks the entire network of servers when
a  set of diskless stations boots, the only solution is to make it
dumber.
finally we changed that one for about 3 cisco gigabit 48 ports dumb
switches
and never ever heard about network problems again...
