Re: Large network and dumb switches

I will give all your recommendations a thought. ProCurve switches seem
a good choice, but I am still looking around for other solutions.

Do any of you guys have any experience with switches like D-Link,
Allied Telesyn or TP-Link? I am looking at switch with 24x100MB + at
least 2x1GB ports, SNMP would be good (a must?), according to your
recommendations.

E.g. I have just came accross TP-Link TL-SL2428WEB, which is 24x100MB +
2x1GB + 2 ext. ports Web Managed Switch. Not expensive, supports VLANs.
Did anyone use them? Others are for example TP-Link TL-SL3226P (24 + 2)
or TP-Link TL-SL3428 (24 + 2 + 2). Here are the links:

I am wondering how they perform in real life. Any experience? I am most
interested in SL3226P and SL3428, since they have SNMP.

Here are their user guide pages, you can find all mentioned models here
