The word "Cheap" does NOT apply to (real) Cisco switches. All the "real" Cisco switches (2960 series on up) support BPDU guard etc. The "toy" Cisco switches (ex-Linksys) I'm not so sure about.
I'd look at HP or Dell (ducking!) if you want something cheaper in a managed switch. I personally don't (and wouldn't) use Linksys, Netgear, DLink etc. for production networks.

I just spent about 2 hours trying to isolate at loop caused by and ex-employee(kidding). I am aware of some methods out there with HP and Cisco switches like BDPU, or loop-protect in HP. What do you think the best solution for this using those cheap switches without such features? I also looking at limiting MAC address per port on Cisco switches. Do you know what's the cheapest model that supports this feature? Thank you for your inputs. -CD _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/ _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
