Which model's that? On http://www.ht.com.au/ I can see the unmanaged
DGS-1016D's for $578.00 .

The D-Link DGS-1216T Smart switch looks better, at $802.00 . The specs
say "port based VLANs", but I'm not sure that means 802.1q .

The DGS-1248T _does_ say 802.1q, but it's $2,080 - are you sure that
the 16 port version does it as well?
