10\/100:  Too Slow to Rock N Roll<\/h1>\n

My files are getting bigger, disk image back-ups are accumulating, and big file transfers between machines take forever. It’s time for a gigabit switch.<\/p>\n

Gigabit Switch<\/h3>\n

I’m researching a couple of simple unmanaged<\/em> devices. The Netgear GS108<\/a> and the TP-LINK TL-SG108PE<\/a> both look like inexpensive solutions. The little 10\/100 router I have now<\/a> was never qualified to handle the data requirements of the entire shack, it was intended for temporary use only.<\/p>\n

In addition to moving disk images around, I also have a couple of Flex radios running, an Apache Web Server, JNOS BBS, and whatever family hardware that might be running. The gigabit switch is a necessity even more so now that I will be adding a Flex 6500.<\/p>\n

Managed or Unmanaged…<\/h5>\n

I’ve just started looking at these devices, and have not yet ruled out a managed switch. The family devices will move over to the little router, and all the shack hardware will talk over the gigabit switch. I also plan to look at a couple of 16 port managed switches. If the numbers are in line, I may get the 16 port and have some gigabit breathing room<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And the winner is…<\/h5>\n

A price driven decision aka ‘an offer I couldn’t refuse’ popped up on eBay last night:<\/p>\n

A BIG Improvement! There will be far less thumb twiddling in the shack going forward…<\/p>\n
