I have about 10 5224's installed overall its been a very good box. I just recieved 3 5324's and I'm sending them back. The config on the 5324 is about as idiotic as I've ever seen. Below is a simple example.

Lets add 4 VLAN's and give them Names, then put all 4 VLAN's in ports 23 and 24 as tagged, make ports 23 & 24 mode trunk.

--------5224-----------
vlan database
vlan 2 name VLAN-(2) media ethernet state active
vlan 3 name VLAN-(3) media ethernet state active
vlan 4 name VLAN-(4) media ethernet state active
vlan 50 name VLAN-(50) media ethernet state active

interface ethernet 1/23
switchport allowed vlan add 1 untagged
switchport native vlan 1
switchport mode trunk
switchport allowed vlan add 2-4,50 tagged
!
interface ethernet 1/24
switchport allowed vlan add 1 untagged
switchport native vlan 1
switchport mode trunk
switchport allowed vlan add 2-4,50 tagged


--------5324-----------
interface ethernet g23
switchport mode trunk
exit
interface ethernet g24
switchport mode trunk
exit
vlan database
vlan 2-4,50
exit
interface vlan 2
name VLAN-(2)
exit
interface vlan 3
name VLAN-(3)
exit
interface vlan 4
name VLAN-(4)
exit
interface vlan 50
name VLAN-(50)
exit
interface range ethernet g(23-24)
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 2
exit
interface range ethernet g(23-24)
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 3
exit
interface range ethernet g(23-24)
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 4
exit
interface range ethernet g(23-24)
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 50
exit


Am I the only person that has a problem with the 5324's config. I can't read this thing. Why is it creating a seperate interface line for any option you set on an interface? This is just crazy?

Anyway I'm on the market for some more 5224's
