I am looking for a nice switch for my home lab that support VLAN's(for lab) port mirroring, link aggregation and gigabit and also managed. What do you guys think about the HP ProCurve 1810G-8? It looks like a pretty solid switch, does anyone have any experience with it?. What are some other good switched I should look at?

If you are looking to put together a lab, I'd recommend something that supports stp.
The HP units are VERY nice switches and I would have bought one if it supported STP.
Check out the new Cisco 300 series small business switches. I've given a brief overview of them here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1579746&highlight=sg300
I think they're much more feature rich than the 1810 series.

Thanks but I can't justify the price for that many ports, 8-10 should be perfect for me.

the Cisco SG300-10 looks great, it has a lot more features than the HP version and it can route VLANS.
Any more input on this?

not a cisco lab, Vmare lab, like i can put an active directory domain on a vlan so it does not interfere with my normal home network.

I have one fully saturated 24 port, and one mostly saturated 24 port, just depends on your environment.

+1 for the 1810G-24, it`s a good`un!
Silent, Procurve lifetime warranty, runs cool what more could you want!?

A better GUI or a CLI.
Haha, OK yeah, there is no CLI or Console and the webgui is clunky and basic but once it`s setup there no more reason to go back in there other than checking the log or whatever.
I was a little disappointed with the gui whan I got mine. It is functional, just horrible!
I`d say the hardware more than makes up for the firm/softwares shortcomings...
that`s my opinion anyway, but they`re like arseholes....everyones got one!
