How do you "hardcode" an ordinary consumer level switch?
Most switches should at least allow this via a http interface or some gui.
Particular brand?

ROF,L. You've never actually encountered a consumer level switch, have you?
There is no http interface, no GUI, no telnet, no configurability at all
other than what can be done with switches on the front panel. To get that
sort of functionality you need a _managed_ switch, which is far, far more
costly than the 40 bucks that you pay for a 5 port gigabit Netgear.

You're right. I've been spoilt for too long now surrounded by Cisco gear.
