Or at least buy Cisco refurb and save $$$...;) We have lots of 2950's in use ... moving to 2960's for low end applications currently - then moving to 3560 etc from there....
You might also checkout the Express500 stuff... more basic switch and priced right.....

Get used or refurbished from Network Hardware or similar outlet. We rarely buy new. Used gear works just fine. -- Tim Sanderson, network administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Brandon Bennett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 11:21 AM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Managed, cheap, DC power switches I have a need for cheap managed DC power switches for our OSS and Monitoring (backoffice). I was wondering what everyone else have found in this space. I am currently using Cisco 2950's, but those are still 2.5K list and seems like too much to spend on something so trivial. I am looking for something with: * Better port density (48 ports per 1U), but 24 ports would work. * IOS like configuration (not needed, but would be nice not to crosstrain my team) I really don't want anything that is Web only. * CHEAP. The gear is mostly just for monitoring and big backplanes and features are not really needed.
