Hello, My experience with "smart" switches is at minimum "not good" they sometimes "block", they need "programming", I had an experience with a dell smart switch that blocks the entire network of servers when a set of diskless stations boots, the only solution is to make it dumber. finally we changed that one for about 3 cisco gigabit 48 ports dumb switches and never ever heard about network problems again...
