[AusNOG] Low cost 10G SFP+ switches?

Mon Dec 14 13:35:58 EST 2015

Quanta 10G switches are relatively cheap - then add your choice of switch 
OS like Cumulus Linux on top.

 Should be $5-6k for 48 x 10G + 40 x 40G ports.

Hola list,   

Cool quiet Saturday night, with a easy question for those already onto the 
harder stuff... 

What is available in low cost switches that have SFP+ for 10G? The cheapest 
I've come up with is a Netgear...$670 24x1g 4xSFP+ 

I feel like there must be other options for either pure or mixed SFP+ 
especially given all the China OEM/whitelabel things floating around DCs 
these days. 

Does anyone have a favourite, doesn't need to be DC quality, also doesn't 
need to be advanced purely for layer2 not even MPLS or VLANs. Oh and 
doesn't need to have a lot of ports. Looking for lowest TCO, not per port 
efficiency (where I know you can get for a few k a 48 porter from eg 
Force10 etc). 

Basically the rasberry pi of SFP+ switching... (hmm is that an option, Rpi 
with some dodgy chinese SFP+ switching modules soldered on?) 

Enjoy the beers!
