Review title: Horrible switch! Save your money and go with another brand.
Product review: We purchased 15 of these switches. What they don't tell you is 3Com charges for updated firmware by requiring a pricey service contract. These switches also loose their config's very easily when adding/removing a switch from the stack and not everything is saved in their config when a power reset happens!! The stacking feature is a joke, it takes about 5-10 mins for the switch to begin normal operation after powering it up in a stack. They also have about 7 fans in the switch, which nearly all of the switches we originally bought had to be returned because of a fan eventually dying and the switch faulting.I was a huge fan of 3Com with their SuperStack II switches and those stacking features back in the day but these new ones are a complete joke and they must have skipped quality inspections since they downsized their company.
