Building Management System Best Practices and Outage Tolerance

Hey all,

Just curious, from those of you who have larger, multi-building networks, what kind of best practices you know of for connecting a building management system into your switched networks.

Currently our facilities engineers have been plugging in non-managed 8 port switches into our network ports as an access port. Do you allow this or do you require individual ports for each device (to enforce MAC sticky)

If you require individual ports how does your building infrastructure team deal with downtime when you are performing upgrades? Can they tolerate a short (15-20 minute) disruption?
