I do as well need some help in purchasing a switch, but mine would be
Perhaps take a look at
http://www.hp.com/rnd/products/switches/ProCurve_Switch_2810_Series/overview.htm
(24 and 48 x 10/100/1000 ports)
I need to be able to plug something like 40 ethernet ports (2 for each
servers), and be able to set bandwidth cap on a group of ethernet ports.
I need the switch to be fully gigabit for at least 1/2 of the ethernet
ports (the other half will be used only to plug a KVM over LAN port, and
they can run at 100 Mbits, it doesn't matter). So I think that a 48
ports switch would do. It also have to be in a 1U case.
If you have another spare U, you could save money by purchasing 2
switchs :
2810-24 24 x 10/100/1000
2626 24 x 10/100
Of course, price DOES matter, I don't need any other features than the
one written above. I do not wish to spend thousands in some Cisco product.
You should find those prices in France:
2810-24 ~ 1000 EUR HT
2810-48 ~ 1700 EUR HT
2626 ~ 400 EUR HT
Contact me in private if you want more price/resellers details.
