Ethernet Switch and Cables Mania

I have read and quite understood what DB wrote. Not all, but enough to read that data is not changed.
However an other member responded to me…
I am not saying still that data is changing. But there remains some mystery in all that streaming world…more to me of course, but also for the teckies.
If they have the humility to confess…

Has anyone compared the Ubiquiti switches with the Cisco? If so what were you conclusions?

I ask this because my 48 port NETGEAR switch is ten years old or so, and I thought I would replace it with a refurbished Cisco. Then when reading another thread someone was talking about how pleased they were with the Prosumer Ubiquiti switches.

It’s nothing to do with humility to confess.

We can all hear differences. Some we like, some we don’t. It’s usually very subjective. It’s been under discussion ever since digitising music has existed.

The digital data doesn’t change. Other things can and do change. Some, we understand. Some we don’t. Some affect the end product. Our ears and our brains decide what we like and what we don’t.

Most of us have open minds and ears and use these to make decisions. Our own, that is. We might concentrate our listening selection based on advice or recommendations of others, such as our trusted retailers.

I’m sure you do this. But the digital data did’t change.

The majority of trusted retailers don’t know nothing about that. At least in France.

The humility is to say « I don’t know all in this subject « . And not bang indefinitely theories that not completely apply here.
Thanks to not respond. It was not addressed to you, note a particular member neither…

I am very pleased with my brand new unboxed …but old HP Procurve 408 switch. They do larger versions.

I have 16 port ubiquiti and 8 port POE switch. The 16 port feeds into 2 Cisco 2960 cascaded and I can’t hear any effect of the Cisco improvement.
Ubiquiti switches are well made though they run a bit hot. I suspect they are much easier to manage, if required, than Cisco pro level switches. They also would facilitate using Ubiquiti wireless access points for a rock solid Wi-Fi setup.
I would recommend.

A two box switch!

However I do have a LPS on my EtherREGEN, so essentially the same.

Without wanting to offend you, what was your nickname on the french forum? Just to know. I’m not here to judge. Sometimes, I find them (the admins) too much hard.

I come here because I need to take a little air from the other forum … inversary to you!
Pleased to be here another (french) rooster or froggy !

Sorry I go back to the main thread…

When you wanting to cascade two Cisco, must you set an fixe IP on both switchs or let them in the plug and play mode, after the factory reset ? Or, if one Cisco is with an fixe IP, the other without, does it run ?

It was maybe 3 years ago…I am not sure but I think it was something as kelpi…

Nothing to configure, just connect and let go.
