Re: [Astlinux-users] VLAN's and 802.1p priority

[Kevin K. <Ast...@gt...>]

Yes, you are correct.  I had the need for a cheap layer2 switch used for
testing that was fanless with 10/100/1000 speeds and quiet (no fans) as the
fans are generally quite loud especially in managed switches.  Also my use
was for a desktop environment and the time there wasn't much selection.
Here is one that fits the bill if you need 802.1P which can be very
important for QOS.

Kevin,

  Thanks for the point to 802.1D!

  However, most devices that I have encountered in the past several
years that support 802.1p also support 802.1Q.  Phones, switches,
routers, etc.
