OpenGear's newer stuff is Gigabit (SFP even). I've not seen any real switch made in the last decade that has a problem with 100Mb/s connections. Ancient cisco, maybe had issues. thanks, -Randy -- Randy Carpenter Vice President - IT Services First Network Group, Inc.

We're really pleased with the Perle IOLAN line. They even have a gigabit port without a $10k price tag. Amazing!
It really dumbfounds me why so many vendors are still putting 10/100 Ethernet ports on their OOB management (looking at you OpenGear). Especially a PITA today since many switchports today don't support links speeds less than a gigabit.

Hi folks, I wonder if anyone has good experiences to share with out-of-band hardware? I'm looking for a good OOB hardware vendor. I need to manage my routers/switches/firewalls in a datacenter located overseas, and I'm looking to setup a good serial console server via an OOB link. I've been looking at Lantronix, OpenGear, Raritan...but they all seem to have the same basic features. I'm having trouble really differentiating them. I'm interested in analog modem, cellular options for my OOB link. Or even a secondary internet circuit either wired or wifi if the DC has that option available. Any good suggestions or experiences with a current OOB solution out there? What are you doing for your OOB management? thanks,Hank
