Best Layer 3 Switch for Home

[coxhaus]

You know the one strange thing about setting up the vlan trunk port for the WAP321 off the SG200 is I had to set up the trunk with 1T,2T just for the WAP321. I run all my other trunk ports with 1UP,2T including the other WAP321 in the SG300. Until I added 1T I lost management to the WAP321 with my workstation plugged directly into the SG200 switch.

Luckily I had not added any ACLs and I connected to the wireless side on VLAN2 and added the 1T and management started working from the LAN side again.

Aren’t VLANs fun.

The CRS does L3 switching at wirespeed non-blocking(assuming switching, not routing) unless you think qualcomm chips arent capable.
The CCR does L3 routing, switching and L2 switching at wirespeed using CPU.
If they werent capable of that i wouldnt be using them

Can you tell me more about your demand？The switch has different configuration according to the requirements, and there are many kinds of brand switch, if you don't like cisco, maybe you can consider huawei switch, compare to same function cisco products, the same huawei products may help you save more money.

Depending on your needs, I think you can choose huawei s5700 switch. S5700-28C-EI can meet all of your needs, but it costs at least $1000. If you have limited funds, then select s5700 switch with standard software Version, but it can not supports OSPF routing protocols.
In general, many manufacturers do not support the switch lifetime warranty, only guarantee for 1-3 years.
Hope it can help you.
