Hello all.
(Manually crosspost from /r/Homelab)
I am in the market for an 8 port ProCurve switch, and do not need L3 routing capabilities.
Per advice on this sub and /r/Homelab I am focusing on the 1810 series and less out the 19xx (3COM) series and 25xx (more than I need, unless a good deal comes up), and 182x (HPE/OfficeConnect).
That has me searching for the J9449A (1810-8G v1) and J9802A (1810-8G v2) models. The v2 consumes less power but otherwise seems similar on paper.
I just noticed that the v2 mode lacks any ProCurve lettering/logo in pictures, and has been updated less recently (2018) than the v1 model (2020):
- J9449A / v1 (https://h10145.www1.hpe.com/downloads/SoftwareReleases.aspx?ProductNumber=J9449A&lang=en&cc=uk&prodSeriesId=3963985)
- J9802A / v2 (https://h10145.www1.hpe.com/downloads/SoftwareReleases.aspx?ProductNumber=J9802A&lang=en&cc=uk&prodSeriesId=3963985)
Datasheets also only refer to v2 as an HPE unit - never ProCurve.
Is the v2 model really an OfficeConnect in disguise? Should I steer clear of it when searching out ol' reliable ProCurves?
Thanks!
