Cisco Catalyst 1200-8T-D Smart Switch, 8 Port GE, Ext PS, Desktop, Limited Lifetime Protection (C1200-8T-D)

Cisco is the best no question 6+++

👍🏻

To start, don't buy this switch if you need something reliable with an actual warranty. When I first got the switch I was fairly impressed by the features for the price I paid. I even recommended it to some friends (none of them got the 120W PoE version that I did). However, after having issues with the power supply and talking with "Cisco Small Business Support", I would never recommend these switches to anyone again. After only 4 months of service indoors, in a room that is kept at 73F or lower, the PSU started to simply stop providing power to the switch at random. Disconnecting and reconnecting the switch from the PSU would have no effect. If I disconnect the mains power and reconnect it the switch would boot back up normally and stay operating for (at first) a few days to as low as a few hours. The duration it stays operational continues to reduce. I opened a ticket with Cisco thinking "well I have that lifetime warranty, no problem". The rep I spoke to told me two very critical pieces of information. First, there is no way for them to send me a new PSU. It is literally not an option in their system as the PSU isn't a separate SKU for these things. Second, if they send me an RMA switch it may not even come with a PSU. How did anyone think this was ok? PSUs are what usually will fail on switches which is one of the reasons why proper enterprise hardware has dual PSUs. To not even have a way to guarantee a customer will get warranty support if their PSU fails tells me that nobody at Cisco took this product line seriously. I've had the ticket open now for a week and no word on them even trying to ship me a new switch with HOPEFULLY a new PSU in the box, but maybe not. I've use a lot of different networking hardware over my 19+ years in the industry, all the way up to boxes that cost over $1mil each. I know what quality enterprise hardware looks like from Cisco and other brands. This is not even close. This should not be called business class. Don't buy this.

Firmware issue prevented resetting

unit powered on directly after unboxing and ran long enough to get a basic setup for a network. unit turned off. after investigation, the PSU is already intermittent within 3 hours. power drops out. this device is powered off of the same isolated ground and line-conditioned power system as the rest of the rack. secondly, the rack mount hardware is set an inch or more behind the faceplate, causing this switch to stick out much further than any other rack device.

This unit had no rack mounting hardware and had a special twist plug instead of standard. Switch itself was fine...but be aware of what is or is not in the box.

This device is terrible. The instructions aren't correct, the settings don't save, and interface is very slow. I had to research the correct way to reset the device once it didn't save setting and locked me out.

Was looking for the ubiquity replacement due to chip shortage same box painted white instead of brown sg series’s

Switch ist super zum konfigurieren für einen 2 Layer smart swichry aber er braucht ein bisschen Zeit, könnte ein bisschen schneller sein . Ziemlich groß und passt nicht in einem 10"Zoll schrank, wurde an die Wand montiert. Was jedoch fehlte, waren die Rack Halterungen für 19" weiß aber nicht ob diese standardmäßig enthalten sind oder nicht.

Gute Qualität zu einem vernünftigen Preis. Das Gerät ist relativ einfach zu konfigurieren.

自宅用に購入。 とても安定していて、インターネットの不調が本当にない。 お値段は家庭用に比べて張りますが、安定さ加減はさすがといえる。

Acheté pour sa faible consommation énergétique. Bon Switch. Petit, mais tiens bien sous le bureau avec les deux vis incluses. !!! Administrable = a configurer par informaticien ou connaisseur. Si vous ne savez pas ce qu'est un port console ou ce que veut dire VLAN, n achetez pas un Switch administrable. Vous êtes prévenus. Néanmoins, avec quelques connaissances info et de la documentation constructeur, vous pouvez apprendre (en général, la Doc fait 2000 pages en anglais) !!!

Funciona de lujo, ningún problema de funcionamiento como todo lo que es cisco, buen rendimiento y estable, posibilidad de configurar mediante cli y también por web
