We've used the NJ220s here....PITA. Maybe it's how we use them (multicast traffic and .1q VLANs) but I could never get a consistent view of the quantity of the NJ220s active on the subnet. I found that when passing a fair amount of traffic (> 10Mbps) the 3com management widget "Central Configuration Manager" wouldn't be able to manage the switch unless I reduced that traffic load on the port leading to the NJ220.
