Recently, I heard feedback from front-line sales colleagues. When participating in some wireless bidding projects, many of the tender bids required that the PoE switch used by the wireless device must be the same brand as the core switch in the equipment room. In fact, do we really need to do this? 10 years dedicated to the development of PoE switch Fengrun Da to explain.
From the perspective of principle and practical use, switches in the network are not producers of data packets. The producers of real content are terminals (PCs, mobile phones, and tablets), and the switching equipment is only responsible for the forwarding of data packets. Therefore, as long as the standard 802.3 related PoE switches, such as IEEE802.3ab (gigabit Ethernet standard), IEEE802.1Q (VLAN standard), IEEE802.3z (gigabit Ethernet fiber standard), etc., can be built on the network. General purpose, and compatible with standard equipment. Therefore, it is ridiculous to say that a unified brand will make data compatibility better.
In wireless coverage, PoE switches provide power for wireless APs, and play the role of Layer 2 data exchange and division of different VLANs. Generally, each vendor will comply with standard protocols and be a relatively technically mature device. In actual use, we often encounter users who have switches from multiple vendors at the same time due to capacity expansion or device upgrades, and have never encountered incompatibility issues.
The requirement to use the same brand is as meaningless as requiring the same brand in the network (eg, PC, cell phone, PAD). The emergence of such brand restrictions in wireless construction projects is often caused by users being guided by other vendors for other considerations, thus making it impossible for users to choose more specialized wireless products.
In fact, wireless deployment should return to the essence. It should pay attention to the security, speed, and value of wireless itself. Wireless device manufacturers should also proceed from the nature of customer needs to provide customers with a more professional and secure wireless network.
