cbs 250 vs cbs 110

[tecnicOIT]

I have 2 CBS 250 connected via SFP fiber (gigabit network) and one of them is connect to another CBS 110 via SFP fiber (200mt distance). This last CBS 110 manages 11 IP Security Cameras, 6 PC and 5 routers wifi; after one year no issues at all, but I was wondering if it's better to replace the unmanaged CBS 110 with a new CBS 250 - do you think there could be network improvements, more stability, etc?

Thanks!

Sure you go higher model they have there own advantages always. and also good to move from unmanages to managed switch for network monitoring.

You see good different when you compare both the models datasheet side by side

Hello @tecnicOIT ,

From a functional point of view, you have little to no advantage replacing the unmanaged switch with a managed one.

From an operational point of view, you will get more info about what is going on the switch and it's worth changing.
