Why a switch?
Switches are the backbones of a network. They are the devices that at all the computers in the office have no choice but to use. They are a great tool in modern computer networks. The switch allows communication between computers, servers and network printers.
What does a switch need to do?
1. Connect multiple computers
2. Be Fast
3. Be Reliable
4. Be user Friendly
So will the DES 1008D model handle the pressure?
1. Connectivity
The DES 1008D has a total of 8 ports witch means that you could have 8 computers connecting simultaneously, or you could have a variety or pcs, servers, printers, and other networks switches connecting to it.
8 ports will happily support a small office or home based network.
2. Speed
So we have found out that it has 8 ports so what will ...
Advantages: Pick up a bargain ? Disadvantages: Only 4 ethernet ports ?
Another review from me for a discontinued item, but may be useful if you're loking to pick up a bargain item on ebay...
The D-Link DSL-504 ADSL Router has a built-in ADSL modem - plugs directly into your ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line)-enabled phone line, and with its 4 port 10/100Mbps ethernet switch, allows connections to lots of things (check out my other reviews for what it's connected to...). The DCHP server allows automatic allocation of IP addresses to all your network gubbins too - although I've set the IP's for my wireless accesspoint & print server to allow easier access to their brower based interfaces.
The DSL-504 has a browser admin interface too for easy installation and setup, just type in the IP address (the default 192.168.0.1, as with most routers, but if it's changed you can always use the command line ...
Advantages: Easy to use, easy to install Disadvantages: closeness of the ports.
Netgear are well known for their networking equipment and it is for this reason I want to tell you about a great piece of kit. The 24portswitch.
24ports of networking capability.... But what does that all mean???
Ok, let me tell you about what a network is.
Even the internet is just one big network. it is simply just a collection of computers that are connected together and can communicate. Simple!
But, how do you connect them together? Its not like they shake hands and have a chat is it?
Well in a way, that is what they are doing but using some extra hardware to do this.
To put a computer on a network, it needs a Network interface card or NIC. This plugs into your computer's motherboard. Its basically similar to installing a graphics card or sound card. You then need to connect the computer via the NIC card to ...

Manufacturer's product description
The DES-3026 switch is a high-performance managed Layer 2 switch that provides an ideal solution for workgroups and departments. This switch present a great entry-level managed solution for the SMB just starting out or the already established business looking to bring a managed solution to the desktops. This switch provides fiber uplinks for connection of small groups of users over a longer distance such as on a campus and between indoor departments or school classrooms.With powerful switch fabric and abundant processing memory, the DES-3026 provides wire-speed high performance for departments and workgroups. This switch includes support for traffic segmentation that isolates ports to protect privacy. It allows you to migrate end users to an 802.1x environment when existing workstations support the 802.1x authentication protocol.By supporting industry approved specifications, the DES-3026 leverages your existing investment in a multi-vendor environment, while maximizing compatibility of business with critical features like Spanning Tree (802.1D and 802.1w), QoS (802.1p), VLAN (802.1Q), port mirroring and network management. The switch provide robust support for standard-based management protocols such SNMP, RMON, BOOTP, Telnet and web-based management, enabling you to integrate them into many third-party network management packages.The DES-3026 switch brings advanced enterprise functions to a more affordable level while supporting advanced features: 802.1p and portbased QoS/CoS, rich security and management features such as port-based/MAC-based 802.1x authentication and bandwidth control. The switch also support many of the features you would expect to see on a larger managed solution such as: IGMP snooping, 802.3ad Link Aggregation, 255 VLANs, traffic segmentation, traffic monitoring and SYSLOG.With D-Link Single IP Management client support, the DES-3026 can be attached to a higher-level core switch such as a DES-6500 chassis or a D-Link xStack to form a virtual stack. The DES-3026 can form a workgroup or departmental stack providing 10/100Mbps speed with Gigabit uplinks to the core switch. The switch simplifies and speeds up your management tasks, as multiple switches can be configured, monitored and maintained from a management station through one unique IP address.
