Cisco Small Business but a TP-Link at half the price will do that.

Well if you knew it already why the inaccurate initial post.

Another luser bites the dust.

Why does it have to be 'default out of the box' I'm just pointing out
that with the right equipment [even cheap equipment a new managed switch
£50 on Amazon bit ####ty of course but it'll probably work, secondhand
on Ebay £20 for something decent] if you plug your equipment into
someone else's switch they *CAN* monitor your traffic.

So you were wrong :) Still it'll give you something to spin and write
word walls about until your departure from this life. I'll look forward
to skimming them. It's a gas.
