Data Switch Query
Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2007 2:48 pm
This place is better than the help forum.
Right we have two of these in our patch cabinet we are currently reaching our maximum capacity. There are 11 cables running across the floor to the server cabinet so if I can get rid of these it will free up some of the ports.
What I want to do is get a gigabit switch and stick it in the server cabinet. I can connect the servers, UPS and NAS box to this switch easily enough but would it be as easy as it sounds? Does it integrate automatically?
How many cables would I need between the new switch and the current ones? I have no idea of what the network traffic is like.

There are plenty more fish in the sea, get your tackle out and see what bites.
Divers go deeper and stay down for longer.
