Hello all. I am at a place that swears by managed ethernet switches because their sales rep convinced them that's what they needed. Not having enough knowledge under my belt about using managed switches, I turn to you guys, please. If someone could share with me some instances where using a managed switch was a requirement please. I get the security part of it, that isn't the case here. There are probably 20 CLX and even more Flex IO all connected to the same network, so there is a lot of traffic however, I have seen systems more extended than this, operate just fine using regular ethernet switches/hubs. Would appreciate any and all info you could share with me. Thank you
