Anybody see a 48 port managed 2.5 Gig ethernet switch for reasonable pricing yet? it seems like these are still either thousands of dollars or sold for chinese market without appropriate certificatiosn to be plugged into the north american electric grid. Any help would be appreciated (even better if it has 2-4 SFP+ 10 gig ports on it)
I’d hesitate to call it truly enterprise, but I’ve used the 24 port/10Gbe version of these in a datacenter. Not many issues to write home about - seems to handle vlanning pretty well.
Has 10Gbe uplinks, US power, and PoE+. Probably access to a fancy dashboard too.
$1600 is probably as cheap as you’re getting.
Edit: Oh yeah, they’re probably not dual attached, and the ‘redundant power supply’ (RPS) is a separate appliance, which I consider kinda bullshit, that takes up another U.
I’ve had no trouble with actual switching performance though fwiw.
Edit 2: They’re probably compatible with the AR mobile app, which is hella cool, and somewhat useful in customer sites.
