Hi all,
I’ve run out of port capacity in my lab, so I need another switch. Since it’s a lab, I want a brand of switch that I don’t already have so that I can do more testing. Since it’s a brand I don’t already have, I don’t really know what to get.
What I want/need is:
managed (somehow, SNMP at least)
gigabit (I have lots of 100Mb thanks)
rack mount
around $600 (so, an SMB class switch I guess)
~24 ports
What I don’t want/need (I have these already):
obsolete Cisco IOS devices
Mikrotik
Netgear
D-Link
a lemon
PoE
Please reply off list with suggestions of devices to either buy or avoid.
Thanks,
Lloyd
