Yeah this is the problem. I’d like to get hold of a SEL or GE relay. Want to test errant packets causing issues but it’s so expensive.

Thank you @TDCN, I’ll take a look at Beckoff.

The protocols I mentioned are used in electrical substations and in water controls adjacent to my work. It’s probably used in other places too but I’ve only worked around those.

It doesn’t really. I’ve just been watching that comedian a bit recently and your comment reminded me of the bit.

Australia’s famous for their geography skills; bring on Eurovision 2027.

I feel the same about sports. So much money and time wasted on meatheads run around a field throwing an animal skin.

I use it and I install it on every family and work PC I can but the memory of the bloated Firefox that made so many originally switch to chrome is still there. I want apple to base their browser on Firefox to maybe get some traction back

Utilities still use them. If it’s not broke, why fix it.

There’s just a few vocals not the majority. I know we still have a few i486 running and even 1 i386 running. There not connected to anything and just perform the same simple task they have for decades so updates are virtually meaningless. Not uncommon in power, water, rail, and other utilities.

Yes.

I didn’t know it was a kid

Mikrotik switch is good value but there’s a learning curve if used to other cli. They have several levels of firmware; cutting edge broken to long term business ready. They are constantly adding features too. Can use webui or cli or winbox to program. I have an rb5009 working a treat as router and l009 as a switch.

Ruggedcom RX1510 can be picked up from eBay for a bargain sometimes. It’s not very port dense (2x1g per module, 4 modules) but it meant I could put the fanless device in the roof cavity and not worry about heat. They are a l3 switch so functions are good and the modularity is good for running off AC or any DC. 10inch form factor so won’t fit standard rack. Firmware is available for free but needs account. Can use webui or cli to configure; webui on older firmware (<2.16.0) uses old TLS which modern browsers block so you’ll need to disable depreciated TLS. Their documentation is great but there’s not a lot of support outside the Siemens forum. Forget finding how to guides. Siemens SFPs are expensive but switch worked fine for me on standard Cisco glc-lh SFPs. Bidirectional Cisco sfps didn’t work for me though. I like these but they aren’t available very often second hand as businesses run them until they fail.

Cisco gear is always around and there’s guides everywhere so if you just want something easy to get running go for that. I picked up a couple of SG300-28 for $50 each and they are really easy to configure. Not the full Cisco ios experience but more than enough for majority of home labs.

Keeplink KP-9000-9XHPML-X-AC I bought to play with has been really solid too. Simple webui and runs fine at moderate temperatures. Only downside for a $40 (AliExpress sale) switch is the management has to be on default VLAN. This could be fixed with a firmware update but I wouldn’t hold my breath for that. I also wouldn’t be confident to use on anything crucial but it’s been fine to power my iot projects. Worked with all the DAC and SFP thrown at it so far too.

TPlink switches are easy to use but my failure rate has been higher than other devices so I tend away from them now. I had a little unmanaged 5port one that I could power with USB that was great for working onsite but someone borrowed it from a rack on day and I haven’t replaced it.

Ubiquiti Tough switch 8poe and 5 has been good to me too. High temp range, easy enough interface and most VLAN features you could want. I’ve had one on for over a decade without issues. Ubiquiti still release occasional firmware too which is amazing.

It’s just a fair whack different from the standard cli. It’s not bad it just requires, for myself, a different mindset when configuring. If I used it more often then I would be used to it. Problem is it’s virtually non existent in corporate/ business networks around me and only need to do basic home setups with it so I just don’t use enough.

Wallet goes grrrrr

Oh how I miss the old expensive rather than the new cheap

You did. I was thinking of a seller that sells books thinking of a normal sale only to find out afterwards

He was comparing it to a Kia so pretty much on par.
