[AusNOG] Low cost 10G SFP+ switches?

[Colin Stubbs]

That matches with what I’ve seen recently while looking at options myself.

Terrible “white box” switch options might be around the $2K mark, or less,
but good white box switch options seem to be more around $3K+.

e.g. The cheapest bare metal white box switch that’ll support ONIE seems to
be about AUD$3K for 48 x 1GigE + 4 x SFP+ style model; via an AU/NZ disty.

Would love to be corrected if someone knows better….
