Bringing order to network chaos
New year – new resolutions. Time to finally bring some order to the various network gear, servers, tools, cables, computer parts, electronics components…….. stuff in general that is in more or less active use around here.
Let’s start with network switches. I only use a couple of these actively, so I should probably sell the rest… One thing at a time though – let’s document them first – never again will I have to dig up a switch to find out exactly what model it is or what firmware is on it.
Model | Manufacturer | Description | Comments/issues | Latest firmware | Links | Last updated |

HP | ProCurve 1800-24G / J9028B | 24 port 100/1000 rack mounted switch | Works great, 24/7 rock steady for years. No fan so it's totally silent. | PB.03.10 | Manuals, Specs, Firmware | 2015-Jan-20 |
HP | ProCurve J4813A | 24 port 10/100 rack mounted switch | A bit older but still ok, as long as you don't need the 1 Gbit speed | F.05.79 | Manuals, Specs, Firmware | 2015-Jan-20 |
