tonyjr Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Hello, I am looking for some suggestions for a 10GbE switch. Ideally it would have about 8 ports, either SFP+ only or combo ports. L2+ functionality preferred, but not essential. Fanless would be a bonus, but I may be asking for too much there! Budget(?!?!?) to midline range. I have looked at some netgear equipment but the closest ones they do are top of rack ££££. Any help would be appreciated. TonyJr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike232 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 16 XG I doubt anything with 10G ports (except uplinks) will qualify as "budget", but it is cheaper than the netgear ones. tonyjr 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant - thanks. I don't know how I managed to miss that when I was browsing around. That's one for the shortlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My midline could way different than your midline, etc.. What is the goal of the project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a random collection of loose pcb, sfp ports and a Chinese guide to assemble and not carrier grade. l2+ - the middle. Although I see your point.

tonyjr Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 I thank you all for your input - my choice would be wait - have a beer while it works. And have another when it breaks. I'll be dead then. "Small print the existing link" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
