<div>Huawei S5700-28X-LI is a good option. 24x1G and 4x10G SFP+. Sell to the channel for well under $1.5k and do everything you're after. I likely have demo stock of one too if you'd like to give one a try, let me know offlist.</div>

<div><font color="#000000" face="arial, sans, sans-serif"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">So, I am looking for a stable 10Gb (SFP+) solution... 2 ports, preferably 4 SFP+, with a stable OS that can move VLANs around simply with trunks and VLAN access supported.
I don't need much super fancy, but a 1RU form factor with rack mounting would be nice. A selection of 1Gb copper ports obviously. Remote ssh (or telnet if I have to) would be appreciated - not GUI please.</span></font></div>
