small managed switch HW recommendations?
Posted by bosco on February 10th, 2005


I am looking for a small form factor managed ethernet switch (gig
uplink, no more than 8 ports max (10/100))
for a location where I have a very small space, and I need to
temporarily put 2 ports in separate VLANs.

Does anyone know if Cisco offers something like this? If not other
suggestions.

I saw this ES-2008-GTP from zyxel:

Or other manufacturers?

thanks, me too. I have found them quite reliable, and love the lifetime
HW warranty.
Unfortunately, I find they have nothing which fits the bill.
