I'm going to be implementing some NJ220 switches. They are EOL, and only 10/100, but their feature set is impressive for their size. I wish they had more than one PoE port, since I'm using them to deploy VoIP to a remote office, but in the end, this will be cheaper for us than strapping a "real" PoE switch to each desk.
Normally, I'd have one large PoE switch centralized, but due to building issues, it is impossible for us to run more wires up the 5 floors to our office from the central location, and it's cost prohibitive to run horizontal wires. So we're stuck with this kludge. I'm just glad it's an option, frankly. --Matt On Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 12:01 PM, Jeff Kell <jeff-k...@utc.edu> wrote: > On 2/16/2010 11:45 AM, Douglas K.
