Pros: Inexpensive, layer 3, IOS (mostly), gigabit, etc.

Cons: There are things you can't do in the web interface.
Pros: I purchased this to expand on my home lab and all I can say is I haven't encountered any issues with it. I have it setup to allow me to leverage jumbo frames, port cha...
Cons: Even though I rarely use the web GUI, I wish it was faster.
