They may have features for improving security. For example: - restricting which switch ports can communicate with each other - defining MAC addresses to prevent flooding of frames to all ports - using VLANs to isolate a management network from the operational network

Hi All
I'm building a new network & firewall implementation with a DMZ.
I need basic L2 switch functionality in the DMZ and between the firewall, should I avoid the more expensive switches with management? as they have more potential for bugs/holes etc..
Thoughts please, Andy
