Sounds like a very nice laptop-bag switch to carry around (to bad it is not powered by 5V ie USB, that would have made it perfect). One question though, it looks like the switch can only be configured by the windows utility. Can it also be configured by CLI or WEB after the utility has provided the switch with an IP address?
