CiscoSYSTEMS Sg350 10-Port Gigabit Managed Switch (SG35010K9NA)

Product is ok, but price was high

It’s Cisco. And have all the functions from a managed switch. And priced very aggressive

I bought this switch to learn how to configure layer 3 switches (it does not blatantly say this is a layer 3 switch but it is), and it was great for learning. this switch has the ability to configure down to the switch-port for different VLANs, a dedicated switch IP for each switch-port, or for each VLAN. this switch also can be configured for ACLs and DHCP with the built in routeing functions and this switch is expandable with the use of a crossover cable and configuring a switch-port to a trunk interface. this is absolutely amazing for the price point of the switch. it even has two SFP ports (there combo with Ethernet ports 9 & 10) so if you choose, you could use a hard line copper SFP cable or a transceiver for a fiber line to what you are running, both of which could be configured (in the CLI ONLY) to be 10 Gig connections making this very good for learning real word uses of switches. and ultimately this is a Cisco switch which is one of the most commonly used switches/routers in use in the enterprise environment. i truly recommend this product to anyone who is trying to learn switch management ether because they are curious about more sophisticated networking equipment or to try to learn the skill for work. One small short coming of this is that the switch is a small business switch and some of the command differ from enterprise switches but they are mostly the same syntax that is used.

I am a Cisco fan.Just got this device recently and today, I needed to reset the box.As soon as I pushed the reset button, it went down and out of commission.I have managed to reset the box via portal but my expectations from the brand was much higher.In any event, I just can give it a good enough star and nothing more.

Installed this switch for a client with a LAN CIDR block routed through a WAN IP from their ISP.Broad brushstrokes: Pickup up a db9 to usb cable it makes it easier to do a portion of the config via the CLI. Out of the box, allow your ISP to assign an IP over DHCP on port 1. Use putty or eq attach to the console port to find dynamic IP, or access your ISP to find the IP they assigned. via console cli: "show interface ip"Access the switch browser interface via the dynamic ip from step 1. Config port10 to Layer-3, assign your WAN ip to this port. Set up an any/any static route 0.0.0.0/0 with your next hop the wan ip gateway. Move modem connection to port 10, clear your arp table on your modem. Confirm you have this correct by accessing the switch web portal via your static wan ip.Now convert VLAN 1 to your CIDR block with the first IP is your faux gateway and the rest of the block is routable. VLAN 1 will show as DHCP assigned, add a new static IP entry with the first usable IP in your block, the switch will automatically remove the DHCP entry for VLAN 1.

I bought this to use as a switch in my home office. Additionally, I wanted to use it to keep my Cisco command-line skills fresh. No worries for those that don’t want to use the command line to configure it. It works out of the box and it also has a web interface for ease of administration.
