I personally like and use Moxa branded industrial switches more. The ones with an RS-232 or E/IP port on it for pulling switch status info into SCADA or machine HMI for hardware status. They have been great switches and the best of the 5-6 industrial brands I have tried. One of the coolest switches I think they have is the MDS-G4012 and MDS-G4020 series. They are sort of "switch racks" and have option module slots to configure the switch layout as you need. You can add dry contact modules that can be used to trip something in a PLC directly, or isolated power modules to have specific set of ports power isolated from the rest of the network, so some machine stuff can be on machine power and the incoming ports are on plant power. Or you can add PoE capable ports or not, or even groups of SFP ports or not. Really cool switch features.
Industrial switches seem to be lacking in their VLAN config simplicity. This one seems to suffer from those same issues. It's one CLI command in Ruckus to tag or untag a port. I'm over setting PVID's and other non-standard CLI commands. Aruba's newer gui and cli interface is garbage too. Sorry - I identify as "randomly angry" today.

Maybe I missed it but information on the environmental ranges would be nice. Like what are the minimum and maximum temperature range for the switch.
@@johnvillalovos I put it in the description because I forgot that part.
@@WillieHowe Thanks!
What switch chip does it use ??
