<DIV>I'd look at used EX4200-24P/Ts with the 10G module. They can be had for a little over 1k each if you know where to look.</DIV>

<DIV>You won't have J-care, but I assume you don't need it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Probably the best option, but you're limited to two 10G ports.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>JunOS for switching is mature, and very nice too.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Hey all,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Was doing some lab testing and needed some cheap 10Gb SFP+ ports - so used the Mikrotik <SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans,sans-serif; WHITE-SPACE: pre-wrap; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">CRS210-8G-2S+IN.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face="arial, sans, sans-serif"><SPAN style="WHITE-SPACE: pre-wrap">What a piece of junk. The OS isn't too bad but the switch hardware can't even keep its 10Gb ports up for very long without dying with little errors. What do you expect for $300 right?</SPAN></FONT></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>
