My early Xmas Unboxing and Quick Testing of 8 Port and 24 Port Switches =)

Christmas came early and an 8 Port and 24 Port POE Switch ARRIVED!!! Woot woot!!!

8 Port POE

24 Port POE

No first open shot of switch as it is surrounded by foam could easily with stand an disgruntled UPS/Fedex/USPS person tossing it onto your front door

General Thoughts…

8 Port POE

  • 4 POE Ports Only… Usually at least one is used for an uplink anyways but woulda been nice to have 7 POE Ports to enable and disable
  • Powering ALTA APs and any other POE AP was straight forward
  • Adoption was very easy in the cloud controller
  • VLANs were easy to configure

24 Port POE

  • Only 16 POE Ports but should be expected when planning to purchase anyways
  • Setup and config was easy in the cloud controller
  • I couldnt test the SFP+ ports as I didnt have a 2nd switch but should work fine

Switches work totally fine and easy to work with.

I got the 8 Port to have in a LAB when testing configs and extremely excited to get the 24 Port in ASAP!!!
