Can this switch provide DHCP to pc and phones?

Hi It can *forward* DHCP info to pc's and phones. If you want it to originate DHCP, you need one of the 300 series switches. Bob

We are a CL reseller and use them all the time. We use them mostly in Bridge mode and PPPOE, but there's no reason that it shouldn't work with DHCP. They are solid units.

It can. Before getting the switch be sure each port can output the sufficient amount of power to drive the AP.

I cinfigured it as an access point to plug in my ethernet wired phones and it worked. I did read that it can be configured as a repeater, but did not try it that way.

I wouldn't think so, it likely uses a proprietary encoding over the Ethernet cable and wouldn't get a ip address or obey the other protocols required to function over a network router/switch.

Yes. This is a basic switch, so connecting it to your router can serve as a useful extension of wired ports off your router. I disagree with the previous answer that indicated this unit is a router. It is not. It is a switch. Your router logs into your ISP, provides firewall, implements DHCP, and possibly your wireless service (etc). This device is not capable of doing any of that.

It doesn't have a DHCP server (nor does it make sense for it to have on since it is intended to be assigned one by your DHCP server, typically your router). That said you could assign a static IP to the server and your PC, you won't need a router for that configuration (that is how I used to configure my network before home routers became cheap and ubitquitous).

Cisco Small Business Switches do not support DHCP. I repeat do not support DHCP. Its a smart switch not a router... I have several of them. They are the best bang for the buck. And any feature they have you can disable, and there are a lot of them. But DHCP is not a feature.

This device would not work over a network switch. It transmits raw HDMI TMDS signalling information, not ethernet, so the switch can't understand it.

Yes, it can, it will be able to do WAN to LAN and vice versa through NAT at a little more than 800 mb/s.Edit: check out the full review on small net builder, as they ran either ttcp or iperf tests on it to see where the limits were.

Greetings, This device is a basic soho ethernet switch, so assuming the router is configured to offer IP Addresses to other ethernet devices, then simple answer is yes. _In general_ you can plug your ethernet cable from your router in to the switch, and then plug in other ethernet devices. Non simple answer, your router is most likely setup to issue IP Addresses to the other devices via DHCP, so when you plug in the router first it will be listening for other devices which may requests an IP Addresse. So when you plug in the other ethernet devices they _most likely_ request an IP Address and the router issues an appropriate IP address (with DHCP) so all the equipment can operate to the internet through the router. There was a lot more I could have included, but that is the general model. I hope this information assists you.

You should be able too. Once you convert a signal to USB this switch will handle it.

The voip part will depend on the voip PBX and phones you use. For most it will be fine, but if you were to install an all Cisco pbx and phones then this would not do the auto config like a Cisco switch would. We use these as workgroup switches for our Asterix VOIP system of over 50 phones (we have many of these going back in to a 48 port stack.

Yes it does, but you don't need it. I checked in DHCP for whatever IP the device got and used a browser to connect.

Yes. I am using it to push POE to an Ubiquity access point. However, POE is not enabled by default. You have to log into the switch management software and enable POE on whatever port your device is plugged in to.

Yes. I have it working on Windows and Linux (RHEL/OEL.) It will also support Nic Teaming (if your switch will support 802.3ad.) If this helps: I am using this switch NetGear GS724Tv4.

The best answer is already stated. As a closed network then no. You set the IP on the devices and all is well. If you want internet and not having to worry about statically assigning IP to the server or computer then a router with DHCP would be needed.
