Oh god, I had to deal with some procurve switches in a past life. They were a nightmare to manage and unreliable. We actually ended up replacing them on 2 rack

Oh god, I had to deal with some procurve switches in a past life. They were a nightmare to manage and unreliable. We actually ended up replacing them on 2 racks with 24port unmanaged gbit 3com ones we bought from some high street electronics shop one night during an outage... Not a fun memory.. (Of course, those were later replaced with some proper equipment)
