Hi Richard, I've had good experience with EdgeCore products, and I know a few providers in New Zealand have been using them in their networks for 10+ years now. They have a model that looks like what you want: https://www.ascent.co.nz/productspecification.aspx?itemID=438092 The full description from SnapperNet indicates it has CLI too. https://www.snappernet.co.nz/product/912/edgecore-ecs2100-10t-8-port-10-100-... Accton, EdgeCore's parent company, also manufactures Facebook's 100G datacentre switches, the IgniteNet line of mmWave radios, and probably some other OEM stuff I have no idea about.

Hi all,
I hope this isn't too far off topic.
What's available in the way of managed switches (at least including 802.1q VLANs) at a suitable price for a small office?
The (8-port) one I bought 4 years ago, even at the time the https ui didn't work, because browsers had stopped supporting old certs or ciphers or something. I raised it with the wholesaler, who raised it with the manufacturer - no new firmware ever came out. I couldn't load my own cert onto it either.
Is there anything better around, at a reasonable price?
I'm not keen on what I understand is the cisco model either, where you have to maintain a support contract to get any updates.
Stretching even further - I don't suppose there's anything out there with fully Free (as in freedom) firmware? Does SDN give us that?
Feel free to reply off-list if you don't want to promote (or disparage) your suppliers (or self) in public :-)
