So, I finally have my lab all cabled and I have a few spare minutes to start the initial configuration of the vmFocus lab.

What do we do first? Well I always start with networking and making sure that my switch is running the latest firmware. OK, I do have one exception to this, when you check the manufacturer's website, if you have release 8.9.5 and 9.0.0, I tend to stick with 8.9.5 as it should be more proven.

Anyway, back on topic, the HP v1910 24G switch is a beast for the money, some of it's features are:

- Gigabit
- Layer 2 Managed
- Layer3 Static Routing with 32 routes
- Access Control Lists
- STP, RSTP and MSTP
- 802.3X Flow Control
- VLAN with 256 simultaneous
- Link Aggregation
- Lifetime Warranty

It should be a worthy addition to any home lab.

For work we generally use the HP2510's, 2610's and 2810's as Edge and 2910's for Core if we are rolling with HP kit.

I didn't know the v1910 and v1810 even existed until I started looking for a home lab switch.

So far I'm very impressed with it.
