Regarded as toys? I sincere hope not, the 1930 series is been target to SMB and not to the individual customer segment.
If this is a deliberated policy to restrict access to hardware, I will return this product and go with another brand, the web interface although nice, makes the configuration quite painful without the need for it.
I'll need to order more switches quite soon and CLI is fundamental. Other brands in the same price range offers CLI (even if they lack some of the features of this switch line), if I don't get an official answer soon I'll be forced to choose another manufacturer unfortunately.
I personally don't understand the rational to limit the offering this much, specially for an equipment that has relatively good specs like the 1930's series... Quite frustrating to be honest...

I too would like a CLI.
I think it is because the whole "Instanton" series is regarded as toys.
They are supposed to be entry-level and both attractive and performant to get you addicted.

Hi,
Just replaced my company switch with a brand new 1930.
And although the web interface is not bad, I would prefer to conduct the configuration thorough the CLI, since some operations, like ACLs for example, are quite painful to set through the web interface.
Its a shame that a product with such a nice prospect doesn't support CLI.
So I wonder if there are there any plans to enable the use of CLI (through SSH for example) soon ?
I plan to order more switches soon and I'm quite satisfied with the 1930 line, but not having a CLI is a deal breaker for me. Without support for CLI I would have to consider another brand.
Thank you
