Lately I've been delivering triple play services over a single CAT5 drop from a IDF to customers. We have been using small SOHO switches but they've been turning into a bit of a hassle since we have to stage each switch before deployment. I want remove the initial staging step by allowing the installer to just plug the switch in and have the switch grab a config from a TFTP server noted by a DHCP option. Features that I would absolutely need for the switch to be viable: IGMP Snooping Dot1q VLAN tagging Preferably 8-ports A decent set of rate limiting options (5/10/20Mbps) Extra bonus if it can also be PoE powered Does anyone on list know of such a dream CPE device?
