No real complaints. The management is a bit unusual as it's menu-based 
and the telnet session always makes the cursor disappear on my vt100 
windows... Then there is the issue that you have to set the vlan for 
access ports in two places, for no apparent reason. Unless I'm 
mistaken, the IP address for the switch "works" in all vlans. So I'm 
not sure if this switch is appropriate in very security conscious 
environments, but for simple managed switching it works well enough.
