How about the Catalyst 2960-XR?

Dual PSUs, stacking if you need it, and cheap (for the Cisco definition of 'cheap', and definitely more so than the 3560-X). Can also do 10GbE and very basic Layer 3.

Cheers,
-Brad.

Hi List,

  Looking for a recommendation on a good top of rack switch with most
importantly dual redundant power supplies, and 24 Gigabit Ethernet
ports. If there are ones in a good price range that also have 10Gbit
capability, that is a bonus but not a must.

  Would prefer 1RU, 2RU at most. Not many ports needed so don't
want/need a big switching chassis.

  Cisco is our preferred vendor, but if you can suggest a good switch in
another brand with compelling enough reason then it will be considered :).

Thanks,
Joe
