Cisco is expensive - and the used market price stays up too. But the small ISP I work with needed something that did more than their Cisco 2948 [early model]. They got a Foundry Networks Netiron 24 port - used - from eBay. It is is a level 3 switch and it can be turned into router only or router/switch. $400. Not being a name-brand that small business equate like they do Cisco the used prices are just a fraction of the comparable Cisco product. I see similar one for $495 =buy-now= and they have been lower.
