Is that a 2948G or a 2948G-L3?  

If it's a 2948G, why is it affecte by DDoS?  The management VLAN should
not be reachable by the outside world, so DDoSes should not be able to
affect the 2948G at all.

Our experience with the 2948G was very good (standard rock solid CatOS
switch, albeit lacking IGMP snooping), while the 2948G-L3 is just pure and
solid crap.

These days, we use 2950Gs for smaller L2-only LANs and are quite happy
with them.
