Also worth noting, there are some problematic switches at each site. Again, because the VAR was clearly trying to add complexity to up the support bill, and I'm having them put in simple, low cost, unmanaged Netgears to make this really simple and reliable.

I detest NetGear switches. They generally work, but everytime I try to use one for something even half specific, they puke.

Sites this small can use the EdgeSwitch 8

And it will report into UNMS along with the routers.

Plus it's actually a switch, hardware- and software-wise. Not a breadbox which jumps over the table because you "accidentally" attached a cable to it. (yeah, I know, some NetGears also feature a metal case but it's not the same).
