Good vid! My first switch for running game servers was purchased in 1997. It was a cisco. It had latency issues, lag, with 12 full CS Servers. I reached out to Cisco support back then. Back then, people in support were mostly engineers, so he just knew immediately what the problem was. The reply I got was "It's a cisco. Just increase the route cache size. It can't lag." "How?" He read me 1 line to input into telnet, and it worked. Ofc. Looking at this, this is a massive step up in user friendliness. Have been using/selling/recommending HPE switches for the past 20 years due to pricing - but this might just change that. Let's see where this goes :)

When I see any network device having a years long uptime I don't think this sturdy hardware (even though it is) but I think this is lousy security management not installing security patches/upgrade at all. It's not like Cisco doesn't have security issues like anybody else. They also release security updates regularly. Don't get me wrong, I work with Cisco devices since 1996. I think Cisco devices are generally great (and I own some shares) but they need management, maintenance (including regular updates), and monitoring like everything else in the business.

[@augurseer]

Thought same thing. Years of uptime means missed upgrade windows.

[@cgaquikkie]

not mentioned in the video: to do the upgrades that you rightly say need to be done, you need a support agreement for that hardware fully paid up from the time you bought it until the time of the upgrade (information correct at time of writing). No support agreement = no upgrades. Which to be honest is probably why Chuck sees years of uptime on the hardware...

[@bassbacke]

@@cgaquikkie Very true. I have a service contract for my Cisco C926-4P router I use for VDSL2 at home and it's €75 per year. Without that I can't get firmware updates, which really is a shame. Some vendors have much more user friendly policies. Ubiquiti comes to mind.

This, 100%. On the mgmt plane, meraki is targeted for easy to scale infrastructure, but the licensing has a barrier to enter price tag.

@@Peter240896 yeah but that avenue really depends on the team. If you have a team with devops experience, it might not be necessary to have a dashboard and only the licensing aspect is a contentious point. However, since devops still isn't a mainstream skill, licensing and centralized management are key aspects. However, we are talking about SOHO setups, but still Ubuiquiti has the market for SOHO deployments because of its licensing structure AND centralized management.

Man you are awesome. I'm a great fan of you and what you do. ❤

[@drkskwlkr]

The one thing that disappointed me was that the switches are *still* Gigabit Ethernet (including the x-connect SFPs). Vendors must start thinking about 10Gbit ports in the SOHO. It is already possible, and not that expensive, to run a small NAS box with M.2 drives that will easily saturate a gigabit link. Two workstations can transfer among themselves many gigabytes of data per second, if only the network would allow it. WiFi6 devices can do many hundreds of megabits. Also, the cost of gigabit net access is becoming very affordable. In theory, a PC doing a speed test at one end of one switch (the router being connected to the other one) will almost saturate the link between two switches for the duration of the test (unless QoS is well configured, I know). At this moment, if I have to equip a new office, I wouldn't buy a quality gigabit switch. We need at least one bank of 10Gbps links for a SAN, a network expansion, etc. P. S. The GUI and the self-configuration are awesome indeed.

[@Piglet6256]

C1000-24P-4X-L has 2x SFP 10Gbit ports available :), just the SFP's, but that will do for at home, if you use both and bundle them.

[@SuperHaloman22]

If you need higher bandwidth switches I would suggest Arista. They are expensive though which is a downside.

The satisfaction of getting everything flawlessly running and switching between LTE and my coax provider if the last one fails is beyond words... I work with this every day, but at a much more advanced level(IPVPN, BGP etc), so my biggest issue was actually overthinking things... I treated my own setup at home like it was work instead of keeping it simple. And I see that alot at my job as well, we have customer doing a simple backup failover, where they want us to redirect traffic blablabla, instead they could actually just pull the uplink on their r1 router... (I get that not all customers are on the installation site, so in those cases we do help them) Most of our customers that had the 899 deployed has been swapped with the 1111 8P 4G-LTE due to the 899's SKU mismatch bug in some of our deployed firmware, the 1111 is really great though. Hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on one via work for a lower cost in a few years... Mind due, the 899 is working great...

Well, another advantage of this C1000 series is old IOS as before. Since C2960X series is going to be announced soon for EoL and successor is C9000 series, namely C9200/C9200L instead of C2960X. C9000 series already running on Linux kernex IOS XE which has slightly different syntax but more or less same from standard admin perspective. Difference comes while we compare licensing system which comes with C9000 series which is pure madness on corporate level. Crazy! Smart licensing is whatever just not easy and makes additional cost. I simply DONT care about DNA Essentials, DNA Advantage.... Why so simple functionality as HSRP was moved over to higher license and thus I have to use VRRP instead ?

Smart move.. Strategy wise they have the infrastructure to support the SOHO Market and I can see them focusing on this for the future.. Ubiquiti is great but if Cisco focuses their energy on their market it will be a serious battle. When Xbox Came out people thought MS came in too late - MS has the $$$ and support to setup shop and compete.

Cisco equipment just runs ! Hell I have a 3560 48 port that just runs my home network.... i.e. Servers, Security, kids network...yadda yadda. And the lifetime of this equipment (according to Cisco) is 20+ years, dumped by companies after 5 years. Which I bought (2 of them) for $55.00 ...each!!!

[@martincerveny2284]

Well all other are the same. I have HPE/3Com switches (and Cisco, Ubiquiti, Dlink) for many many years running w/o problem. Do you think I'm restarting HPE switch every two hours? No, it just runs.

Cool stuff dude! im a security guy, never been into hardware/ network eng but i may need to look into it. Can you do a vid showing your home network setup?

[@abdullahihussein8860]

What kind of security if you don't know network and hardware that is impossible

[@riotmakerzify]

@@abdullahihussein8860 dude. I bet Ik more “security” than you do. And I’m talking about home network specifically.
