There is this  fanless compact series switches.We have few and pretty quiet compared to the other enterprise-grade ones. They still make a very light inverter noise if you stand close to it. However, they may or may not meet your port density and POE requirement.     ... View more

Hi,   For a similar configuration that you are explaining, typically you'd need two different interfaces(controller - >Interfaces) additionally to the management interface. One for your guest and the other is for your employee. You also mentioned that your employees are connecting to one subnet only- In this case, it sounds like you have a DHCP superscope with multiple subnets underneath. If that's the case, You have to create individual interfaces for each subnet and group them together in the (Controller ->Interface groups)  "Interface groups" section. Then you can use the interface group name instead of an individual interface in the SSID configuration in the general section where you associate the interface. Also, don't forget to assign the DHCP server information within your interface configuration   Keep the management interface away from the clients as a best practice   As for the reason that you cannot have static, There is a tick box in the advanced SSID configuration section called "DHCP addr. Assignment" if it set to required, static IP addresses in the clients won't work     ... View more

Hi Mate,   VLAN 1 is the default VLAN in the switch which is generally used for multiple other things when you interconnect two switches. Whether the VLAN 1 is allowed through a trunk or not it carries certain traffic (ex : -vtp,stp etc..) across the switch. However, if you prune the VLAN off the trunk by removing it from the allowed list it will not carry user traffic   Cheers Prabath ... View more
