I am giving away a Cisco Catalyst 1000-8T-2G-L Network Switch to a random winner who comments here telling us how this will help your tech setup. We are ONLY shipping to inside the USA. A winner will be picked by June 17th 2021 and we will contact the winner via a DM on on this forum to get the shipping address.
This switch would replace my unmanaged Dlink Gigabit switch I have currently. I would love to have more control over my home network than what I currently have with the AP controllers and router that I have.
I don’t even have a managed switch at home, only unmanaged one, so it’s kind of a mess to make sure VLAN don’t screw up with the dum switch. A fully managed switch like the cisco 1000 would be amazing for my lab.
To put it simple, I am using a 5 port netgear managed switch, which is limiting. I would be nice to get some expansion and more ports I can trunk or put on different vlans.
I have a nice Unifi and Mikrotik switches in my rack in the garage. Would love to be able to put the Cisco 1000 in my office so I can expand the vlans up to my desk for testing.
I am 17 years old and learning networking. I will be working to get my CCNA this year and having new Cisco equipment would be great to learn on, but also use in my network at the same time.
