Network Switch (r.nf)

I'm looking at getting a 10 gigabit network switch. I only have 3 devices that could use that speed right now but I do plan on upgrading things over time.

Any recommendations?

You are a foolish person.

As far as warranty goes, Trendnet does Lifetime for their enterprise metal devices, which OP mentioned being interested in. Just looked at Microtik official warranty page, and it says to email support. Big difference.

We can go back and forth on RCEs literally all day. If your bar for using a product is “no RCEs”, get off the grid entirely my guy.

MikroTik is just as serious a network company as Cisco or Juniper, and vastly more serious from an enterprise networking point of view than trendnet.

Also where tf did OP mention anything about warranties?

Edit - lol holy shit look how customer focused trendnet is! They just plugged their ears and pretended an unauthenticated RCE in their product didn’t exist haha. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/04/no-patch-for-remote-code-execution-bug-in-d-link-and-trendnet-routers/

Edit - oof yikes look there’s more. https://www.nccgroup.com/us/research-blog/technical-advisory-multiple-vulnerabilities-in-trendnet-tew-831dr-wifi-router-cve-2022-30325-cve-2022-30326-cve-2022-30327-cve-2022-30328-cve-2022-30329/

Yeah, I trust Mikrotik much more than Trendnet, though I'm happy to use Trendnet for internal switches.

Wow. You do you, budday.

You seem REALLY on the Microtik brand for some reason. I presented one that didn't have those issues, you retorted with some stuff, I responded with valid issues. What's your problem?

[–] borari@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You presented one that doesn’t have security vulnerabilities? Here’s yet another CVE out for trendnet: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-19239

Every. Single. Brand. Has. CVEs. I’ve used Mikrotik, I’ve used Cisco, I’ve used Juniper, I’ve used Ubiquiti. I have a trendnet Poe switch in my attic powering some cameras and an AP right now. I have no “problem” with any brand of anything.

I do have a problem with you implying that a company doesn’t take security seriously when they do. I start to think you’re intentionally lying when you lift up trendnet as the model, because they have quite an especially atrocious history of it.
